None of those boys work for free.Yeah fuck those cons. Theyre just like plumbers, AC repairs guys and dentists. All charge you up the ass for unnecessary interventions.
I got lucky, one of best friends is a mechanic and my neighbor is a dentist. I also got an a.c. repair man and a plumber that are some of my father's close friends.
On a lift? Probably about two or two an half hours... most of the time would probably be spent air hammering the fuckers out a rusty control arm. Assuming they're rusty.How fast can you change 4 ball joints on a 98 Chev 1/2 ton? @TeTe
Heat ‘em up with the torch and pound ‘em out.On a lift? Probably about two or two an half hours... most of the time would probably be spent air hammering the fuckers out a rusty control arm. Assuming they're rusty.
Nowadays on newer trucks I think they press them in and you just replace the whole arm with the joint.
Probably would need to be aligned afterward too if it was lined up with a ton of slop in the joints.
thats with the stock wheels. I swapped them out for the R wheels. looks much better.
IT calls for motorcraft synthetic.Oil change for my GT350 Cobra was $184, on account of it takes special 10W/50 oil and needs 10 quarts.
Yep then like I said if you are beating on it on a track run the motorcraft and change often(for multiple day road course events we’d change it every day)sure, but I am tracking it.
often.
after several track days it actually went into oil starvation, down just one quart, and the
system went into what's called 'limp mode'. popped me right out of track mode.
added oil, bingo. all better.
the best alternative is AMSoil 5W50 but most owners run the spec oil, especially to adhere to warranty.
