Drove around town today and no problems were noticed. Checked temps, no vibes, no leaks, and just a lil' problem shifting due to no longer having a T/C drop w/ a body lift. When I shift to 1st,3rd and 5th gears the shifter has very lil' room b4 it hit dash. Fix that today or sometime soon. Feels good, Dave. Thanx.

Hey Jay! I was just re-reading some old posts and I came across this one from 7-20-05 ;D Geez, now I know I'll have to get a ski mask and go to the bank so I can get my lockers and winch...... lol Don't want to be the one who keeps getting stuck But, there is still plenty of time. I think you are a-okay now buddy!!  |

True, and I didn't even break the bank (or stick it up) ;D
Dave did a Great job. Re- checked everything to isolate noises and found track bar was loose= no more noises. Still riding good (over 300 miles), so soon it'll be time to drain and re-inspect. Then a trip to OBX maybe.

The track bar is probably going to need a new bushing, it was still moving a tiny bit after re-torque...
