Yep, it makes good sense to swap them out entirely rather than beating them up installing new bushings and joints. After all they're just stamped sheet metal from the factory. If I've seen one arm like this in Ohio, I've seen ten hundred:)

To me from just the photo it looks like your bushings are well worn, like pieces squeezing out. Usually it's easier and more cost effective to throw in new upper arms that contain new bushings and ball joints. But if your alignment is holding up, no need yet.

...and you might pencil in a new pair of upper arms..with bushings :)

Sacrificial anodes our trucks in the salt/rust belt. Those braided ptfe flex lines are real nice and worth the cash. Good move.

Good on you Leroy. Appreciate the heads up.

Careful hotrod, you're gonna lift the heads off. It's either BOV or dial back the fuel rate. Or will the ATT settle down once broke in? I can't recall nor do I have personal experience with this turbo.

Yep, be safe Les

heyuuh. Hi

Dry as a bone AZ truck would be in a museum in Buffalo. Ooo niiice :)

You flatlanders will never get it. Lol :D

Pretty quiet in CB land even for Ohio. Big whips are ok but as outlined above, they're more trouble than they're worth. Just about any antenna will work fine with the standing wave tuned. Best upgrades for any CB is a good quality mic and auxiliary speaker. All the tuning in the world won't...

Big snail houses there. Time for a burnout vid.;)

The harvest is on. We've got some great looking corn and beans still in the fields around here. Best I've seen in years. I think they're waiting on them to dry out some more.

Good to know

Yep big ol mill. The king of the road way back was the 8v92 silver. Big bores, big revs. The 12 was bigger cubes but not as nasty. IIRC the 3408 was a hoss but for CAT the V config wasn't such a winner.

This one always makes me smile. 8v53. 'Pissed off 8v53' is a good title. If the link doesn't work just go to YouTube and type in 'Pissed off 8v53'

Dad told me stories of trucks back in the day screaming down the road with the stack lit up and catching hay bales on fire on flatbeds. Heard from more than one source of guys pouring some 'additives' in the tank too. ;)

It won't hurt anything. There are benefits to a CDR but everything needs to be tip-top. As these engines get old they slobber oil into the intake, which is never good IMO. Then we get creative on finding ways to vent the blow by. ;)

Big R yep 238 is a 6-71N like mine. They like to crank it up! Best performance is obtained if you Drive it like you Stole it. :)
