    Since getting the death wabble ive looked at track bars. I can get a moog for around $100 and its non adjustable or a carli for $345. Is the carli worth it and its adjustable. Also does anyone know what mm the sway bar is because i want to get bushings. Its an 04.5 2500. Does the steering stabilizer brace help. Thanks for the info

    recently put a leveling kit on and now I have the death wabble. when the driver side sway bar link came off it was in two pieces but I put two new moogs on today but haven't got to test it out yet. also there is a recall on left side ball joint gonna have that looked at Monday. has anyone else had any dealings with the death wabble and if so did you find a cure. thanks for your comments

    I have replaced all my fluids except tranny. anybody tell me when I drop my pan how many quarts will it take to fill it back up with stock pan. does trans pan have a gasket that I need to replace or not. and how difficult is it to tighten the bands.
  6. I have noticed that it depends where the fitting is facing when you stop the truck if you can see it or not. If you cant see it move the truck just a hair and it should roll around
  7. i bought a smarty off of a guy i work with. been running it on 5 and have had it on 7, makes it smoke like a freight train. im too scared for my tranny to put it on 9. get 21ish mpg
  8. i had the same noise. i opened the front diff and everything looked good and my father in law was under the truck helping me and noticed the drive shaft(transfer case side) had a lot of slop in it. took it out and replaced the u joints($160)and the noise is gone. my not be your problem but i had the same sound and that fixed my problem
