    Intermittent sudden loss of power on highway

    My fuel pump is a wining little ................ so, tomarrow or friday I'm going to be replacing it. If that doesn't cure the problem, I'll go ahead and replace the coil just cause, I've tested and diagnosed, it may be time to just throw some parts at it, never hurts to put brand new parts on...

    Intermittent sudden loss of power on highway

    I'm having a very strange problem that I've never even heard of. I've been testing and researching but nothing has come up yet. Here's the problem: While driving down the highway, at anything over 60, the engine will eventually lose power after maybe 10 minutes of driving at 60mph plus. I can...

    Who sells modified upper control arms?

    Both the upper, and the lowers mount there. The lower arm stops mount on bottom, and the uppers on top. The UCA bump stop is designed to limit downward travel so you don't over-extend your shocks, and so you don't snap your brake lines/ABS wires. I took some measurements last night and took some...

    Who sells modified upper control arms?

    Called rough country and they say I'm cranked too high.. I don't see how, but okay? Apparently the lift they gave me isn't capable of the full 6" that was advertised. Could anyone with the 6" and 35s measure their fender height and post? I'll take some pics of my angels and measure my fenders...

    Who sells modified upper control arms?

    The kit includes two rubber bump stops with studs on the back. The studs go through those holes on the end of the crossmember.

    Who sells modified upper control arms?

    I noticed on rough country's 2-3" lift for our trucks come with a modified upper control arms that I'm guessing are angled differently and are slightly longer to fix alignment issues. The issue I'm having is, when my truck is leveled, the UCA rides the bump stop and my camber/caster cams are...

    Everyone running the 6" RCX

    I recently installed the kit and since then I've had to lower the front end due to riding on the bump stops. Lowering the front end also fixed my alignment issues, I'm able to get it in the green on camber and caster now. I only lowered it an inch.. which did fix all issues except one.. On some...

    Lift is completely done, but still one issue persists.

    I recently installed the RCX 6" lift. Got it aligned for $80, got it in to the shop I work in tonight before I left and it was off terribly lol.. I was like 80 bucks for this?? I'm actually going back to Big O tomarrow to get a full or at least partial refund because that's some BS.. I have the...

    Got front RCX lift on, few questions.....

    I found an old pic of my truck when I first bought it.. HUGE difference now lol. Anyways, I got the ball joints finished today. Still haven't got it aligned or the exhaust fixed. Steering is hella tight now. All because of some old ball joints.. I had like 1.5"-2" play even after replacing...

    Got front RCX lift on, few questions.....

    Bout an inch of trimming and it doesn't rub on the fender anymore. I haven't really dogged it on corners yet, but normal driving it's fine. Smoothed the bumper so it wouldn't cut the tire if it did rub. And still got the issue of no room between the UCA and bump stop. She rides damn rough lol...

    Got front RCX lift on, few questions.....

    Here she is :). Rides a little rough because I had to crank it pretty far to level it out.. the upper control arm is like just barely sitting on the bump stop, so not more than maybe a half inch of droop travel. I can't decrank though because the tires will rub on turns like hell.

    Got front RCX lift on, few questions.....

    Yeah I drove it, but only about 10 feet back then forward lol. The camber was off sick like so i drove it and straightened the tires a little. The kit does relocate the hard lines. Usually they are straight with the upper control arm bracket, and the kit moves them past the bracket, and then...

    Got front RCX lift on, few questions.....

    I just finished the lift on the front of my truck, it's a 6" RCX. Everything went real smooth, everything fit alright... the diff needed some prying to get the mounts in but other than that it wasn't too bad. I noticed the driver side brake line is twisted really weird.. and is rather close to...
