So i noticed some debris around the top of the cam synchronizer so i blew it out with air and then sprayed a touch of wd 40 on the top. Wiped it out. Reinstalled the sensor and started it......noise is gone..

Appreciate the fast reply. I took the cam sensor off to check it and it looks fine. The magnet is still attached etc. So i dunno. I do have a parts explorer i can take one off of to make sure

Anyone every had this? I originally thought it was a waterpump and idler pulley issue as the bearings were noisy and had play but after replacing them and the tensioner/belt i still have a squeak that goes away once I've run it for 10 min or so. I thought maybe i had an issue with the grooves on...

i used a gear puller but i put a socket on the steering column center and then butted the thread part of the puller against the socket, just be careful and try to use a socket that fits in there right. I can't remember what size socket i used for sure, i believe it might have been a 7/16, can't...

I've never done this with my vehicles but I've heard of others doing it, they glue a couple pennies on the top of the battery and the corrosion goes to the pennies before the battery posts. might be something to try, I haven't had a big issue with corrosion on my vehicles. i generally use some...

yeah plugs and wires on my to do list for the 97, I already changed the fuel filter right after i bought it because i had drain all the gas out from it sitting in a shed for 5 years and i changed the filter after pumping all the old stuff out. it runs fine but I dont' know what plugs it has in...

I dont' know for sure what the ride height on a 2wd is compared to a 4wd but I would think a 30 to 31 inch would fit. if the 31 rubbed it would only probably be on the very inner part of the wheel well by the frame. thats assuming with a 7 inch wide wheel with factory backspacing. I've never...

because of the way the frame was raised outwards and i had cut that portion out and put in a flat piece i had to weld on another plate to get it out to the end of the bushing and even then i added those 4 small plates to bring it flush to the edges of the ring. i will keep an eye on it and...

the 2nd plate that was sitting on there just wasn't welded on yet. I called it a night and i finished it earlier this afternoon. after welding the second plate on the bushing ring wasn't really tight so I welded the 4 smaller pieces on to hold the bushing in place because i didn't want to weld...

2 more.

some pics

after having it parked for months I finally got it into the garage and started working on it, I took pictures and will post them later. I ended up removing the shackle completely and cutting out the outside of the frame around the bushing etc. I put a piece of steel along the bottom of the...

if it ends up not being repairable i'll just keep it for parts for the 97 i recently picked up. or i can always find another 5.0 to swap parts from it. like i said, such a shame, runs and drives great yet, but the body is rough as hell

yes i realize its not safe to drive on the road and as of yesterday it will be parked until i figure out what to do with it, the frame forward and rear still seems to be solid and the back side of the frame where the bushing mount is still solid and welded to the channel, its just the outside of...

As the title says when i was underneath my 98 because i was changing the rear bumper to one in better shape i noticed the frame was a little thin by the shackle on the driverside and i pushed on it a little and it was soft and small chunks off leaving actual holes in the frame. Now i'm torn on...
