Hah, to say the least Mike

Going to try an alignment and have the guy lookover the whole frontend again on Monday. See what that does for me, after that it is a call to Don and more parts
New amplifier box is on its way from Isspro, so hopefully this time next week I will have a Pyro again

I would say truck problems is the name of the game lately

I think I may need one of those steering bars too. Was thinking of the PSC bar, but will have to wait until Mike gets his on to see how it is. Steering feels real sloppy now with the new sneakers on the truck.

I looked at it and think I am going to get one. Now the question is, do I get my truck aligned now or wait until the steering stabilizer is on?

Stabilizer won't affect the alignment. I think you guys are talking about 2 different parts, George is talking about the Thuren adj. track bar where you are talking about the steering box brace.

He did say to check the steering braces out, and I did. Another member on here just installed the Thuren stuff on his truck, pretty impressive pieces. Probably really expensive though...DTR store has the BD brace for $219 so I will probably order one of those for now.

OOOOOOKKKK, now I read it right Regardless, it won't affect the alignment, so no worry there. Please pardon me, my brain has pretty much ceased function at this point in the day/week

Yo guys i have been running the steering stabilizer for a long time and basically they all designed them around DSS from Solid Steel. Mine has a lot of miles on it, just grease the bearing once in while and that is it. It has tighted the front end alot

Took the truck down to the shore this weekend and it rode pretty good despite no alignment yet. I am taking it to my buddy's shop Tuesday to have that done. Tires do make noise on the road, but nothing a tap of the go pedal or a turn of the stereo won't fix.

Mike, got your PM's and will check that stuff out later today if I can. Still can't believe you saved almost $100 on it.

Pat, no worries man. My brain has been clouded the past month or so and I am having a hard time processing anything anymore. Should stop drinking so much beer, but I have a hard time saying no and you just need it sometimes.

Filler up this morning for $2.83/gallon in Bayville. $92.00 to fill it!!!! I can't remember the last time it was that low, and I even ran it down to 1/8 tank. Hope this trend keeps going, but as with anything else in life, I learn not to get my hopes up.

End of my long post...good day gentlemen.

Sounds good Tom, I wanted to go with th Toyo's, but finances said otherwise for this time around. And I hear ya on the beer issue If only it didn't taste so good and make me smile so much, I could just walk away from it

Truck is going in Monday morning for a lookin' over and alignment, then time to invest in Thuren parts
