Good luck, and thanks for the excellent updates. I say that because usually threads die when owners forget, can't be bothered to say what the fix was, or give up/put up, or just sell the motor, so nobody knows what the fix to the problem was!


Thank you all!!

Its just so damn frustrating...I hate giving up on things and this is one. I love this truck/car whatever, I know its not a performace V8 under there but its so smooth best engine ive had....not to mention the best truck/car but man it has been a costly journey.

This Friday is my appointment.
1) I will be replacing the trust arms and ball joints so nothing is left from the cheap ebay kit.
2) Will ask the mechanic to unload the suspension will show him this video also and replace what is needed...or i will just see how many bushings/ball joints/control arms are needed and just replace all of the rear with name brand like bilstein/lamfounder parts and call it a day no more chasing tails.

so looks like ill spend about another 1G on parts and labor for the front plush all of rear.

so that would bring my total including tires alignments etc to about 5,000 atleast.
