    2004 Upper Control Arm Shim Colors

    Thanks for the reply, Todd. Just picked up some camber adjustment bolts, so I guess that resolves that issue.

    2004 Upper Control Arm Shim Colors

    It's been a while since I've visited the site. Glad to see it's still pretty active. Got a question regarding the upper control arm shims on my 04 XLT 2wd. Can anyone tell me what colored shim goes into each mounting location? Out of the four shims, there are 2 yellow, 1 white, and 1 orange...

    got back from my trip, advice needed

    I've got 4.88s in mine and no grinding was needed. As for gas mileage, I've never really gotten great mileage out of my truck...maybe 13-14 mpg with the stock 4.10s and about 12 with the 4.88s. With the brakes, I'm currently running a 285/75/16 tire (just under a 33" tire) with the stock...

    Anyone Selling a Class III Hitch?

    One of the junk yards by my place had one they thought would work (they weren't 100% sure), but they wanted $120 for it. For a few dollars more, I can just get a new one that I know will fit.

    Anyone Selling a Class III Hitch?

    I was just volunteered to help some friends move in a couple of weeks. My brother has a trailer that he'll let me borrow, but I don't have a hitch to pull it. I plan on buying one anyway, but I thought I'd check here first and see if anyone in Southern California is selling one that I can just...

    Spor Trac Camper Shell 01-05

    I've been looking for a good used camper shell that I can buy and pick up, but Colorado's a bit of a drive from California. Good luck though.

    Thank You Torrie!

    Just thought I'd come on here and publicly thank Torrie for all of his help with reprogramming my ST over the last few days. I knew that re-gearing my truck to 4.88 would throw the speedometer off, but I have an old XCal 2 thatI figured would help fix that. When I went in to adjust the axle...

    Looking For A New Differential

    After just a couple of days with my new 4.88 gears, my factory limited slip differential decided to give up and destroy itself and my new gears. Luckily, the gears are being replaced for free. The shop's putting in an open differential that they had in the shop for the time being, but I'm hoping...

    Silver LEER Camper Top

    I'm using Superlift leafsprings. They actually had two different sets at one time - 2.5" and I believe 4". Don't know if they still do. I went with the 2.5" to level out the truck and take a little off the driveshaft angle. Works great but the ride is pretty rough.

    Silver LEER Camper Top

    Thanks, man. I think I've done just about all I can to it. I do plan on getting some larger tires once these wear down. Thinking some 35s would look nice on it. Good luck with selling the camper.

    Silver LEER Camper Top

    I would jump on this in a second. It's the right color and everything. It's just too bad that I'm in California...

    12mpg in town :(

    I get anywhere from 10 to 12.5 mpg with mostly city driving. Highway driving gets me 14 to 15 mpg.

    I used to check this site out every once and a while. The only thing I could remember seeing on there was this: :bwahaha:

    Recon 3rd Brake Light

    You know what...the red leds on mine are doing that as well. I'm going to check the wiring this weekend and see if that fixes it.
