Followed this thread and learned me something. Always good to see due diligence when folks post back a result or the fix.

Big improvement, looks good

Different turbos can change the exhaust note. If it's too loud you're too old. :)

"Exciting crisis management" You just described by life the past 10 years, LOL

^What Will said.. For what they are, they work good. Lightweight too. They stay put and offer a decent height. On edit, they've changed the design some but same basic stuff I think.

I swear that truck was running around here for a while. I remember it being a white ford with a fancy bumper like that

^I'll hafta just take your word on that.. Had a standoff with a Holstein bull one time, but that's different. :)

Looks like a MAHLE piston. Top keystone ring land should be steel integrated into the casting.

That brings back bad memories from an IP bought from a TTS member a while back. Sickening negligence. USPS failed big time, for the last time, for me. I go out of my way to avoid USPS.

There was a thread on the brake swap to gmt800 front discs and associated parts but I can't find it. So if the gmt800 LCAs work, one could theoretically swap in everything but the top arms.

New gmt800 arms are available I see..

Looks to be the case. I guess I never even tried to look new ones up when I did the '93. Only option is used stuff or swap in gmt800 parts. Then you get into the tirod and taper size debacle; @SmithvilleD was swapping in some gmt800 parts, dunno if it's complete or not...

No, the stops where the knuckles hit on full turn lock. Stamped arms suffer more wear and rot than forged.

One of your cutter inserts isn't seated fully. It did clean up good.

Some guys I know swear by a product called DIKE. They limped a snowplow truck a few winters on it. No first hand experience with it tho.

Yeah that's like new for an Ohio truck. Good score.

Hey wait a minute, I don't have batteries under the hood anymore, duh. Been a while since I messed with it. Anyway.:/

Both my horns are now under the DS battery. I got the one out of the way of the core stack airflow. ;) As well as made new oil cooler brackets for the same reason. And cut windows in the center radiator support bracket for the hood latch. :)

NP, you might price new lowers ready to bolt on. Getting the torsion bars out is usually a PITA. And then the high probability the bushings and joints are worn out on a used unit.

Another thing too, there is a wear factor, and on the stamped and welded arms there is more chance of defeating these stops. Around here it's usually due to rust worms.
