I literally just spent like $600 bucks on tools so i can start to teach myself/bother all of this forum for help lol. Like i said earlier, I really just wanted the truck to be drivable and to have a good place to start learning, seeing as to how i'm now all in for $7500/8k...and i dont think i'll get that if i just put it for sale...it's now REALLY mine lol.
I know that the alignment shop charges the shop i work at $80-100 for an alignment, more so for lifted/ lowered vehicles. So i figured that them having to mess with everything and do the knockouts on a lifted truck, +a "This is really effed" fee, it was a little more expensive than i thought but it is what it is.
Maybe ill make my own "help Anthony not be a GMT Dolt" thread. Because I kind of highjacked
@RevRun 's thread (i appologize)
I just ordered a master cylinder and rag joint, so those will be my first real attempt. Hopefully those get my steering and my brakes where i want them to be. Then in a month or 2 I'll order the leaf parts and try to attack those.
I dont really know where to start with the driver side wheel push and pull issue. And the shop prior to this one said something about my body mounts just not being there, so i'll look into that after the mc and rag joint.
IDK if i said before, but i really appreciate ALL of your help and inputs.
I'll post pics of the truck later in the day
OUCH man! I really hope your alignment is set now for $250! I've never paid more than 75 for an alignment up here. It should be a flat rate fee, not an hourly rate.
Like everyone else has already told you, start putting money into tools and learn how to do stuff on your own. $900-100(Brake parts)-75(alignment)-25(beer)= 700 can buy an awful lot of equipment!
