That system uses inputs from steering, brakes, throttle, a yaw sensor, a g sensor and the abs sensors. There's a lot to go wrong. Without getting codes, it's going to be hard to figure out. (unless you get lucky with the fuses)
You could get something like this
Dual Hitch Extender
That would let you use the hitch and use something like this as a bumper guard / step.
Smittybilt® 27046B - Beaver Step
Or this
Go Rhino® - Dominator Hitch Step
Otherwise, you would probably have to talk to someone like n-fab to find/make...
When they did the alignment, they should have given you a printout of the before specs and the after vs the factory recommendations. What does that printout say?
Also, check the door sticker for the recommended tire pressure. 30 psi is about 5 or 6 lbs too low.
I wouldn't worry about using a decent 'trans fix in a bottle'. I mean, what is the down side, you're out $10 or $12 bucks. No, it's not going to be a permanent fix, but if you need time to save up the money for a rebuild, what the hell.
I would really do my research when looking for a trans...
My brother solved the same problem that he was having with his sportrac by replacing the rear charcoal canister. It was full of water. At first, he just tried emptying it out and reusing it, but that didn't work for long.
It doesn't take much of a blockage for that tank to pressurize and spit...
If you're going to rebuild a motor for a forced induction setup, why not just rebuild the stock 5.4 motor (or look for a lightning motor that has all the necessary parts)?
Well, unless the truck is in 4wd or AWD that half shaft isn't turning when the truck is moving. So it's doubtful that the bearing would have worn out.
More often than not, it's the hubs and/or IWEs that go bad and make noise.
I would also check all the suspension links and bushings. With 104k...
Could be the IAC motor. I have a similar thing with my mustang. If I put the AC on the poor idle goes away. (the ac tells the iac to bump up the idle to make up for the increased load on the motor)
Who installed the timing chains? If not done correctly, it can cause huge problems.
It's also possible that not everything was hooked up correctly.
What codes pop up?
If you're referring to rear end gear ratio, it's simple.
Just look at the white door tag under "Axle" there is a code there.
These are the most common ones.
17 = 3.31 non-limited slip
19 = 3.55 non-limited slip
H6 = 3.73 limited slip
H7 = 3.31 limited slip
H9 = 3.55 limited slip
When was the last time:
The tires have been balanced
Driveline and suspension were checked out
Shocks were replaced
Tires were checked for slipped belts
Keep in mind that doing all the right things is no guarantee that you won't have a blowout issue. You may be minimizing the chances, but there are just not enough threads in that head and if any of them are damaged in the least, then a blowout can happen.
A 3 inch body lift is a good way to cheaply get lift without changing any of the factory suspension geometry. If you get the gap guards, no one will have any clue that it's a body lift.
The good thing is, that if you want more lift later, you can add a suspension lift without having to remove...
