"OFFICIAL" What did you do to your D-Max today?

[MAXX IT OUT]

What exactly does the lower control arm bracket do?

It replaces the factoy stamped brace, this is a boxed piece and should stop the toe in and out on hard launches. I got it with a bunch of other stuff otherwise i probably wouldn't of bought it.

Hmm guess I've never looked at the stock setup very hard to see how wimpy it is

 

[Mike L.]

Had mine washed and waxed.

It's fricking raining.

It's fricking raining.

I thought it never rains in Socal? :hug: I have the same luck, wash my truck and it rains or snows or both

 

[chevyburnout1]

Officially polished 3 of my four wheels. Alcohol was an influence in not finishing the fourth one haha.

 

[LbzDMax07]

Washed and waxed my k10. Duramax gets wash and wax tomorrow.

Got creative and got the old tailhousing bushing out of the transfer case...not for the faint of heart. Then got creative again and got the new bushing in...job went smooth and I'm hoping that solves my issue with slowly having oil appear on the underside of the cab.

Check the back of the slip yoke between yoke and front ujoint. Yokes are known to leak there.

I didn't see spot where it seemed to be escaping there on that soft plug deal. The bushing was pretty worn and the front u joint at the slip yoke is shot. Gonna grease the yoke up good and add new u joints. Should go well with Evans new trans

But thanks for the heads up I'll make sure I keep an eye on it.

Random question for you Mike. Is a transfer case brace worth it for a daily driver and someone that keeps up on maintenance on the drive train?

Ran 12.60 @ 108.56 w the standard cab last night trans was flaring 3/4 a little and i think im out of fuel danville 3794 cleaned all my fuel up nice ! was on 20's and only weight saving was no tailgate

How much of a pain is it to replace the output seal for the front drive shaft on the transfer case? Mine is starting to leak and its probably cheaper and easier then a new transfer case.

 

[minerigger]

I did one...it was a pain but I didn't have the correct tools

Does the transfer case have to be pulled or are you able to do it in the truck? What tools are needed?

 

[minerigger]

The one I did the case was out but we had to do pump rub and some other stuff. I think don't quote me but I think we used a seal puller and then I got creative with a 1" wood dowel rod and drove it in. I had to be careful so it wouldn't get tweaked as they are kind of a goofy seal design and it'd be easy to screw it up

I kicked the absolute shit out of my tailpipe and that fixed my rattling exhaust. Pretty happy about it.

Been there. Fixed mine the same way

 

[Dirtymaxx03]

Been there. Fixed mine the same way

i no longer have the determination to fix it the right way. So when it starts rattling, i pull over, and kick the shit out of it.

 

[minerigger]

Been there myself
