You mean to say that is how any vehicle not treated with fluid film or the like would look. It does not mean that it’s ok that it looks like that because untreated neglected salt belt trucks look like that;) That even happens in Maryland with all of the salt and sticky brine when it “might”...

Nor would I except it’s been recommended by my mechanic and most every mechanic that is worried about removal, vs install. The grease is for future work, not install. We have all had hoses weld to the part they are attached to and this prevents that from happening. I’m not a fan of using picks...

No and no. The most important thing in buying these trucks is that there is zero to very little rust as everything else can be fixed. There are a couple very prone areas on these vehicles and they’re not even what you showed so they are likely very very very crusty.. take your time and find some...

Oem are packed extremely well but inspect it well before removing your current radiator. I’m not sure if you’re gonna be doing the upper and lower hoses or tranny hoses but most here would also recommend that you use factory hose clamps instead of screw clamps.…lastly don’t forget a tiny bit of...

It has only lasted twenty years… lol Op, no design flaws here. Get oem and it will be good for another twenty years. Plenty of radiator threads here asking what is the best radiator, and who ships them the best (since damage occurs regularly in shipping. Easy half hour job if you know what...

When considering the same question, 1.25 was the safest with many types of 200 series or tundra wheels. I did 1.25 front and back for the heritage wheels on my 100. Imo you want a spacer that can bolt in and not just sit between the wheel and hub, for strength and security. Many don’t like the...

This is the first thing I thought about. No alignment mentioned. All of these suspension components must be clocked at ride height so all the bushings are relaxed at normal height. They may all be fighting each other currently. For readers that don’t what I know what I mean by clocked...

Perhaps at the last alignment or when the LCAs were installed, they were clocked differently. The bushing is acting as a spring keeping the one side up. This is just a guess of course but we must always remember to tighten the bolts for all suspension parts once the truck is on the ground at...

Well yes. Its not like we live on an island:). Sorry I had too. Nothing against anyone, just a joke

This is the best option.

What year is your truck? If this is prior to seat airbags, it is your seatbelt charge. if it’s intermittent, I would try some dielectric grease on the connection. It can be a hassle matching belts and latches depending on year.

It was the front crossover pipe for me where someone added sealant for the thermostat and broke it. Easily fixed and the part was not expensive.

I am the wobble. I love that. I bought my 06LX 470 that was in perfect condition other than having oversized tires and someone had messed with the height of the suspension. After balancing the truck suspension and getting rid of the e rated tires, Everything was all good. Also diff bushings...

I might suggest it’s time to break out the hose, spray different sections in a methodical way, and to try to repeat the issue. This can help narrow down the area. Good luck

I think whats trying to be explained here is that a stock 100 series does not experience any vibration with round wheels and even treaded tires. Yes, it does have a weight installed from the factory, so there are no vibrations. Lifted vehicles or vehicles that have been amended to have weight...
