Pretty awesome having a garage huh?

It's amazing being able to leave a motor torn apart for more than a day and not seeing a speck of surface rust :laugh:

I really want to get this thing on a dyno over the fall/winter.

On the way home from work yesterday my Dodge decided to shit out a TRE and pulled the ball stud out of the socket on the passenger side knuckle.

This is the second time this has happened to me. There's been a recall notice on it, that I received *after* it already happened the first time, and the part that I replaced it with was supposed to be the fixed part. Then I see another recall listed that says the replacement parts might have the same issue.

I guess when you have 300k+ miles on an '05 you tend to hit the wear issues a little ahead of the curve...

Headed up now with a bundle of zip ties and wire to cobble it together enough to get it on my trailer, towed by my dad's gas '97 2500. Slow ride.

That's scary as hell. Eff that shit.

Chris, if you want to read more on tuning/theory check out the MS manual.

Some stuff is specific to megasquirt, but there's a lot of useful equations/algorithms for a bunch of different things.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

speaking of balljoints, i needs new ones.

Synergy look tits, but they're too expensive for my taste.

Looking at XRF ones - opinions/alternatives you guys recommend? This is for a D30

I'm not sure about the balljoints, but the spicer u joints I just got are sub par.

pretty sure spicer has gone to shit and is slapping their logo on a box of guaranteed crap.

I had XRF's, wasn't impressed. The taper on the joints didn't seem correct, so the knuckle sat down pretty far on them with a lot of the taper exposed. Emailed XRF and they told me it was correct, but I wasn't super comfortable with it. Grease fittings on the lower ones didn't have enough clearance on the shafts either.

Why not Moog/Spicer/whatever OEM replacement is okay nowadays? How frequently are you going through ball joints?

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

first time i've had to do them since owning the truck (since 2007). I was looking for an upgrade balljoint if possible (does such a thing really exist?)
