well washed my truck after work today and noticed that my passenger side carpet is wet and i had noticed it for the last few months just thougth that it was from when i washed it but its constantly wet and my front end is needing some work balljoints,trac bar and the u joints on the wheels..im gettin tired of always fixing the front end and rigt now im undecided if i want to put some don thuren stuff on there and mogg balljoints and figure out the wet carpet issue or if i should just sell it as is and buy this nice 98quad cab short box 4x4 12 valve 5 speed with 157000kms on it for $12500..sorry for the long post but i guess what im asking is if i put don thuren trac bar and steering on my truck will i have fewer troubles with the front end,,i know the 12valve will have the tracbar issues as well but i wont feel so bad about putting money down to fix it as i will be able to pay cash for it if i sell my 04.5

 

get the 12v

 

If you dont want the 12er Ill take it, tell me where it is, no bs

 

Cant help you on the wet carpet, but if you put a 5 inch lift and 37s on any pickup you are going to increase wear on the front end. With the money you have in your current rig i would replace the parts with something better and enjoy it! I love twelve valves but i sure wouldnt trade my 07 5.9 for one. Geesh the ride alone isnt worth it.

 

yea i think im gonna take the 12valve and keep the 04.5 see how the payments work out might end up sellin one but ill decide after i see how i like the 12er....yea putting the 37s on i knew i would speed up the wear of the front end but i think it could have less wear with a better quality lift but i guess you get what you pay for
