Green Gas Monkey Wrecked Truck being rebuilt.
Ya the stuff is nice but personally I like stuff that I can quickly an easily get replacement parts for. I realize a truck that level isn't a driver though so I guess it's a non issue. I like the new Detroit speed setup. It uses gmt800 calipers/pads an rotors. The only hard to get part would... -
C30 front suspension components on a c10
Correct The way to do this is to change everything from the a-arms out. If its just for looks (which it would be) then you can keep the C10 spring for a better ride. It might look like a C30 but it'll always be a C10. There are big differences in the frames, so please don't do this thinking...- bluex

Valuable car insurance information for squarebodys
I had Hagerty for 2 yrs at a stated value of 10k. After the 2nd year the premium doubled with no real explanation. I switched to grundy, an got 5k more coverage for less than the first year with Hagerty. I hated to do it because I did use them to settle a claim because the other driver...- bluex

Valuable car insurance information for squarebodys
I have a $15k agreed value policy through grundy for like $280/year. Regular insurance was like 4x that.... SC rips us off on insurance though. For my other 3 cars it's like 400/month an we are all good drivers no tickets or at fault wrecks etc. I hate it, it's hard to keep decent coverage or...- bluex

No you don't need to change anything with the front bumpstop on the a-arm- bluex

What have you done to your square lately??
On the A/F if you haven't download the software an enable the 2D table. It will run better but you have to tune that through the software, once you enable the larger table it isn't available for changes on the handheld. -

I thought the same thing but then no other mention of it so now I wanna know what they used it for! -
Green Gas Monkey Wrecked Truck being rebuilt.
I'm still curious as to why he was getting a stock cluster housing to put in with the dakotas. They come ready to go, an completely replace the factory housing. He shouldn't have needed anything from a factory housing. He showed how hacked the old one was but never what he was going to use a... -

TIRE SIZE MISMATCH
Don't forget on your weight rating to reduce the rear tire listing by about 10% (iirc) for using it in a dual setup. So your examples would only be good for about 2,777 lbs each. Most E rated tires have both single an dual wheel weights in the specs though. I didn't realize you had to derate...- bluex

I didn't watch a ton of his other videos but I think this was the most extensive an biggest project he had taken on. Most of the rest were just body damage an maybe a frame pull/repair. I think he had a better support network before he went to Atlanta an that might be why everything stalled out... -
Rack and Pinion
Looks good, I've been eyeing this for mine. Not surprised on the support bearing. Anytime there's 3 joints you have to use one. Is that not mentioned in the instructions or were they thinking you could do it with 2?- bluex

Green Gas Monkey Wrecked Truck being rebuilt.
Alex got an entire new rear axle. The new PB kit he got was very different from the one GMG had. So rather than cut all the old brackets off he got a new housing. What's funny is people in the comments are defending Alex saying "it was still in mockup" or "you didn't show a close up of the... -

There was one point where he was grinding an he looked at the camera like he was stunned by the amount of filler in there. -

The React spindle I mentioned is for 88-98. It's a completely new design Travis had done from scratch. It's not available anywhere else an was desperately needed for those trucks. I believe he worked on it in conjunction with Baer for the brake kits he also offers for those trucks. His 63-87...- bluex

I hope you left the - off your camber numbers there. You want negative so it doesn't go so positive during aggressive corning. My dd charger has about -1.7* and while it does wear the inner more its not super bad but it is a completely different suspension setup compared to these trucks. I'd...- bluex

Moog offers offset upper a-arm shafts that add 1* of camber iirc. I used them when I was still on stock arms to help avoid a huge stack of shims so I wouldn't worry about them falling out. I'm sure you probably don't want to go through the hassle of installing them now but if you wanted to they...- bluex
