Alright so anywhere between an inch and two inches then. They are lift springs so it could vary. As long as it helps out with wheel hop and axle wrap so I can do burnouts I'm fine lol

Mine are designed to fit on block but you could prob do it right in axle since 2wd trucks don't have blocks usually

Replaced both diff fluids and drained trans fluid. Was gonna drop the pan but I couldn't get to two bolts on the pan and it was getting dark. If i had another vehicle I would have left it but I dont. Damn Y pipe is in the way, was gonna do filter as well

 

Rear diff

Those springs will fit on the stock block? I like to see real lifts on trucks.....not the stupid 14" blocks with stock leaf springs. Glad to see you are doing the proper lift!

On post 7278, is that metal clumped on the rear diff? If so, is that normal or the sign of something bad? In my eyes, I would be in a panic right now! Same thing with the trans plug....

It's just regular metal shavings. I got rear diff rebuilt a year ago and haven't checked the magnet since install (other than 500 mile drain and refill for both front and rear diffs). The trans plug I haven't pulled since install back in April. I was suppose to drain and refill at 2k miles after install, but it's been about 12k. It's just break in shavings, normal for new gears and such. Now if you start to see larger chunks (this stuff is like anti seize texture) then you should worry but as of right now it's fine

I finished restoring the triton last week too

Drove her to through the car wash at Costco and came out with a service engine soon light... FML. I think it must have been the insanely high pressure water from all angles that caused it by getting something wet? The other place I usually go to has never caused anything like this, and it was already closed tonight. Although I just checked the engine bay and undercarriage and nothing is even remotely wet.

 

And I hit 225,000 miles tonight. Its upsetting that the sell had to ruin the night!

Love that boat. Now you said your where restoreing it? It dosen't look old enough to need that.

New carpet, re upholstered the seats, new control, trolling motor, power poles, battery's, wet sanded the burned top cap and buffed and polished. The boat is an 05 and has been sitting outside for the last 3 years.. I still need to find a new trailer because he put it in saltwater a few times.. Edited by 20Bowtie14

Sooo I took out the air filter and there's a little bit of water at the bottom of the intake. The MAF must have gotten wet as the water went through the filter.

 

The engine never hiccupped or anything afterwards so hopefully once everything dries out the sel will go away. :fingerscrossed:

 

I also ended up cleaning the carpets and seats with a fabric cleaner and a brush because I had some ugly stains from spills. Overall I'm pleased for such a quick job but I do plan on getting the interior professionally cleaned sometime in the winter.

 

I also detailed the exterior plastics and sprayed on some wheel protectant to keep dust and stuff off.

Got new wiper blades for both the truck and the wife's Jeep. She had a coupon so I got all 4 for only $14. I actually saved over $20....sweet. So tomorrow I will be cleaning the windshield and putting the new blades on. It's been about 5 years for mine, I think 4 for hers. I really like the longevity of the rain X blades.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
