That video does a decent job showing the body roll. Definitely more than a lifted 80 with a stock suspension. The real kicker is the left turns at speed. With the panhard mounted on the frame on the driver side, it causes the body to lift way more than on right turns. Watch at 2:15 on that...
Never found the short in mine. Same issue. I spliced in a new wire from the switch to the front passenger kick panel and this solved the problem for me. Now if I could just figure out why the front dome light isn't getting power... (Not related.)
Ding, ding, ding. You get the prize.
It's all about the money. Including the money that doesn't belong to him. He double charged me $1500.00+ for my order. Took a month and a half of calling and texting him daily to get a refund. My guess is he had already spent all of my money and had to wait...
The tick is probably the power steering pump gear. That little POS is noisy! Replacing mine solved my noisy motor, but they're pretty pricey... When I rebuilt the motor at 250k, all the valves were in spec.
Been looking at this too. As far as I can tell so far, to replace the switch only would require full disassembly of the column and repinning of the connector.
You realize that by going to 300/300 you're losing the benefit of the dual rate? ( I'm sure you do). Why would you want to drop to a single rate setup vs running something like 300/350? I'm running 275/400 and definitely need to bump up the tender as it's pretty much worthless.
Did you refill the tranny after draining the pan? What's your level on the dipstick? You have to add fluid back through the dipstick tube or you'll run the pump dry...
You're crazy. Steel prices alone justify $300 on this. You can't just think of the piece of steel that is cut out; you also have the scrap to account for as this one skid will eat up most of 1/3 of a sheet of 3/8" plate. Oh, and nobody around here thinks other people's time is worth anything...
