Big red is down again...

Well there is a laundry list of problems, but I found out on the drive home tonight that one of the cups on my rear u-joint was trashed....I have had a little vibration for a few days now that started on my return trip from California last week.

Tonight I could not accelerate quickly at all and nothing over 45 or the truck would vibrate so bad that the dash was shaking bad!!

But at least it's an easy fix if you can find the right part.

Much better, but I still need to do the front ones too. Then I need to do the front axle u-joints. As well still need to change the fluids on the front diff. Then when money permits, pull the tranny and get the rebuild done...looking like Aug-Sept. And the new pod/gauges design we talked about.....

TAD to Tampa for 6 weeks in July will help out a lot!! 3500 in per diem!!!
