Every time mine death wobbles, I make it do a WOT run to ~100 to punish it (yes I know I make bad choices) and show it that I'm in charge, but either it's a masochist or just doesn't listen....

Friend of mine had a truck on 44s with dinky half ton axles, every time it would do death wobble he'd drive right in to ditch without slowing down and come back on the road, not recommended bit seemed to work for him. There are days I wonder why we're still alive.

The only time mine has done is on old tires. New ones stop it. But every time I hit the right kind of bump it feels like it wants to. Put a new steering stabilizer on her about 3 or 4 weeks ago and it helped quite a bit.

If you happen to loose that huge nut/bolt/sleeve like I did let me know! I have an extra :duh:

If I lose it, I'll just steal the one out of Tyler's kit and make him ask you for it :D

DOR track bar is in!  Thanks to @TFaoro for letting me come down to use his shop. 

Install was easy (except for the two holes that were too small for the actual bolt...??)

And, install took a little longer because when Tyler and I work together there's more name calling and quoting tv shows than actual work.IMG_3839.JPG.29e2be32a37106d416ff0fdd8d80ecf1.JPG

The two holes in the bracket were.  Had to file them some to get both the threads and the shoulder through.  Even then had to tap it in with a hammer

 

Oh!  Also @notlimah, how did you have issues with the dust seals?  Mine fit right in the heim and slipped right into the bracket..

Compound gurus (@jlbayes, @TFaoro and whoever else), I have a question about exhaust housings. Eventually, the secondary turbo in my setup will be a 62/68 SXE. What do you guys recommend for housing size? 12cm or 14cm?  

Also, do you guys have any favorite housing suppliers other than DAP and Smeding Diesel?

I got really bored over the weekend so I pulled two of my DAP injectors to see what they looked like after about 7k miles (I was really, really bored). Found lots of soft soot that wiped off really easily, and slight discoloration of the tips. Truck seemed to idle smoother with cleaning just two injectors. Curious. IMG_3883.PNG.d184c9c66f79e34fdd6cd4aa423a2c86.PNGIMG_3876.JPG.336de29d47d74fc9c8ad9cab57047769.JPG
