    1991 K2500 SAS death wobble

    Caster is within 4-5.5 degrees on either side, wobble is it all but gone (just a slight vibration now) with swapping to dually wheels. Still needs a steering shaft but I need to figure out whether a 93 grand Cherokee shaft is identical to a Cherokee or not. Never would've guessed that was the...

    1991 K2500 SAS death wobble

    It is absolutely gone now. After 3 years of chasing every loose component and replacing even questionable items it's hard to believe just a simple wheel change was the issue, was a little residual shaking but I will attribute that to bump steer with a bad rag joint and extremely hard tires...

    1991 K2500 SAS death wobble

    Yeah kicked the center of the tire out too far from kpi, guess too much scrub would've been easier to say but the word escaped me. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

    1991 K2500 SAS death wobble

    This is the third set of hubs. Went from ford SRW to ford DRW then just recently GM DRW outers. New king pins, bearings, races, seals, u joints, tires, shocks, tie rods, drag link, gear box. Got it gone almost entirely by getting rid of my Humvee wheels and running duallys up front. That much...

    1991 K2500 SAS death wobble

    That's the first thing I checked. Balance was good with the old set and balanced the new set I just put on a month ago. I was reading up on the pirate forum and saw a few threads saying caster and offset can cause this. Everything else in the front end either checks out or is new. I just don't...

    1991 K2500 SAS death wobble

    Yes, just installed new tires (2nd set since this problem started) with balance bags, first set had beads. SRW with spacers was hub centric, when DRW swapped the centers were machined out for hub center, and when I swapped GM DRW outers on with new king pins I lost the hub center and am now...

    1991 K2500 SAS death wobble

    Anybody ever deal with a real bad DW with 12 bolt military wheels and MTs? Rode like a dream with SRW hubs and 2" spacers for my 12 bolt wheels. Got rid of the hubs and spacers for DRW hubs and boom, death wobble up the waz. Been replacing bad parts left and right. New king pins, crossover, tie...

    I do, was just trying to make auto store parts work so I don't have to go to an online or specialty store when ever they need to be replaced Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

    SAS crossover steering

    So all you guys running factory gear boxes, what pitman arm and crossover tie rods are you running? Had nothing but problems trying to source replacement parts for this thing. Pitman arm is loose on the shaft (assuming it's out of a 90 f350) and the ball joint is loose at the pitman arm. Any...

    80s GM steering wheel on 91 Chevy

    After driving my 83 for several months I decided I like the wheel a lot more than my 91s. Will they swap out or no? If the wheels will not, will the steering columns swap without extensive electrical rewiring? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

    Chevy Dually Rims on Ford D60 Dually

    I just picked up a set of 16.5 Dually rims for my Military Wranglers off an old chevy (not sure exactly what model), my question is this; I have a 1990 f350 dually Dana 60 and had to get my humvee rims machined out to center on the hub, I took a dial caliper to the rims and the center bore is...

    Transfer Case Linkage

    Several months ago I was doing some very mild off-roading and two of my front driveshaft bolts backed themselves out some time before and the remaining two sheared off snapping my T-Case linkage in the process. I've called junkyards and gone to the dealer and multiple parts stores in search of...

    Dana 70 brakes

    I've found shoes drums and spring kits and had em priced out what I haven't found us backing plates anywhere. I can't use a ford or dodge because the bolt patterns on the plate mount are different dimensions. If I can find backing plates anywhere I'd just as soon rebuild the drums so I don't...

    Different Size Centering Rings On Front And Rear

    I was looking at 8-10 Lug adapters for my truck and before I make any decisions want to know exactly what the differences are in my hubs. The front is a 1990 Ford Dana 60 dually and the rear is a Dana 70 dually out of an 80's Chevy. I assumed there was no difference between the two centering...

    KEEP BLOWING FUSES - 1991 K2500

    So I had to get my truck towed home from the lake because my brake caliper retaining pins fell out while I was pounding across the lake to avoid getting stuck in snow drifts. Since then however, whenever I start my truck up cold and shift into gear my tranny fuse pops and im stuck in limp mode...

    The Stupid Lift Questions Thread

    That all depends. If you want original ride quality and aren't gonna overload the stock capacity then yes shackle flip is better. Ive overloaded and snapped stock 1 ton leaf springs before so I went with add-a-leafs and got a much rougher ride but almost a ton more capacity. But like I said, it...

    The Stupid Lift Questions Thread

    Not necessarily. Shackle flip can keep the same payload capacity where lift springs, especially soft rides, sacrifice capacity for ride quality. If you want a 2.5-3" lift go with add-a-leafs. Increases capacity by about 1500 but it is a bit stiffer ride. All depends on what you haul Sent from...

    The Stupid Lift Questions Thread

    I ran 37" wranglers with cranked stock keys and a 3" BL on my old GMC. They rubbed on the frame rail when you'd crank the wheel and I had to trim the corners of the bumper a bit but no more than I had to trim my truck now with an 8" id say stay away from body lifts though. I will never again own...
