The thread on my radiator drain have finally given up on me, so hopefully this works. I guess 13 bucks is cheaper than 400 for a new radiator.:eek:

Put the Kryptonite front end parts to the test with a 7psi boosted launch... Still squirrely definitely need to work on shaft and tie rod angles.

Changed engine oil/filter tranny filter, fuel filters and flushed my PS fluid for shits n giggles even though it looked pretty decent. Holy **** did it improve the steering and braking.

Just saw these lol. Thanks for the kind words and I hope I can still help you all out lol.

^I love that look.. I would have never said this about 8 months ago.. But now I love this look! How was the rubbing?

Thanks man, full lock it rubs but not all the time.. I cut the front bumper (into the chrome part) the splash shield.. and I don't know if there was a preferred method to move the body back, but at 3am on a Friday night I used a little BFH action on the back of the wheel well... :)

Sell me your truck:D

Wait six more months then you'll really want it lol.

Droped how much and did you use schackles?

Three inch drop shackles in rear, bolts just about backed all the way out.

How exactly did it improve? I think all GM trucks have horrible turning radius. But if flushing it helps I'm game.

How about the brake fluid, the difference was damn and whoa, brought the pedal up substantially..

Never does anything. I've done well over 1k brake flushes on customer vehicles all it does is keep moisture out I never felt a difference unless the brake system had air in it.
