well today I pulled it out of its spot for the first time in months. I went down the mile long driveway and came back...there's quite a few things I have to address...
-the throttle is like a light switch, its on or off...You can't even ease into it...??? I definitely, absolutely need to get that fixed. I don't know what it could be. I have the dang thing hooked up just like any other mopar...
-those mud grapplers are all over the damn place, truck wanders pretty bad, I've read they're like a tractor tire, they do that...? granted I don't have shocks yet, that could contribute. I also did a back yard alignment the best I could, so that needs improvement. They are 35's....I think they're too big, there's a bit of a rub at full lock. I'm probably going to go down to 33's...
-the clutch...I installed a new clutch and pressure plate. It's a Mcleod Diaphragm. I took out a borg and beck...it feels like there is no pedal, like a hydraulic pedal on a honda civic. it seems to work, but there's really no feel to it at all... it's so light and there is no effort, I don't really like that. Is the difference between a borg&beck and diaphragm that severe??
-the brakes feel spongy...ya know how there's rust build up on the rotors and ya gotta wear that off? maybe that's what I gotta do. I probably have to bleed everything again now that the truck is moving and going through the motions...Those little plastic caps on my master cylinder leak like a sonofagon, maybe I have the reservoir filled too much...
-the Detroit Locker out back...I think I hate it. Although I've never had one before, It pops, it bangs, it makes a whole bunch of noise, and the truck kinda jerks...I guess that's what they do, but holy ****...LOL. it makes it difficult to diagnose and listen to other things when ya have that going on too.
-open headers is fun for a second, I really need some exhaust so I can hear what the truck is doing...But damn, it sounds good! lol
-I have to fix my manifold and rear main seal leak pronto. But I want to get all this other stuff sorted out first.
after my short drive today, I think you're absolutely right.
here's a short clip. i tell ya, I probably looked confused as hell, I kinda was...LOL. I guess it was successful, lotta stuff I gotta sort out. I really had hoped I'd be done and I'd drive off into the sunset happy...not the case really. I dont know if I'm satisfied, or not satisfied...
