Been in too many 3FEs and I want that time of my life back. I’m obviously an idiot. :beer:

cruiserdan replied to the thread How can I figure out why I have death wobble?.Check the frame for cracks around the panhard brackets and steering box. My wife's truck had a crack in the frame at the left side panhard bracket. I had that welded up and her problem was solved.

cruiserdan replied to the thread Dealer cannot sell part without proof of import?.Our litigious society has made manufacturers shy.
