    Now that I think about it I think what your referring to is called beaming. Is it worse on concrete roads with expansion joints? If so that is what is called beaming and it just the frame flexing. Best way to describe is when you look in rear view mirror and it looks like tail gate is jumping up and down.......

    I meant that they were comparing them to the Rams back then in 2004, my truck has 37k miles and it's an uncomfortable ride at times, anything I can do to make the ride more car like? (I know they don't have coil springs but still)

    Unfortunately your dealing with over 20 year old technology. These trucks were engineered in the late 90s. They have improved trucks since then with even stiffer frames and better suspension tuning.... at the time they were cutting edge. If you want a better ride put about 300 pounds in the back..... lol. Once they have a load they ride way smoother.

    Yep told ya..... everyone is like yeah I want one. Then its crickets when it comes to actually doing something. Part of the problem is this forum is dead. I bet there would be people interested in PT trucks but I dont frequent that site. I bet its the same over there youll get a hundred people say yes then when it comes to actually pulling the trigger they are like I dont have money bla bla bla......

  15. Need to replace transfer case

    Im surprised its usually always cheaper to rebuild vs replace. Did you totally gernade your t-case? If you go new its actually rebuilt also as they dont make new ones anymore. If I recall the GM transfer case have a 3yr warranty and have a $200 rebate. If you rebuild locally you can buy parts and upgrade the weak spots of the case. The thing they are most nortorious for is wearing a pin hole in case. I think In the aftermarket they make a kit to eleminate the issue. I have a RWD truck as I didnt want to have to deal with all the t-case issues..... lol.

    Yea true. I have my Belltech ready to go on. Was just giving it a week to see if any real good news. They havent even responded to my email.

     

    Yeah thats why I bought the beltech one. I figured hell would freeze over before this boondoggle got off the ground. Plus you have to drop the tank and I hate doing that so its a one and done for me...... lol.

    Not to rain on your parade but someone will have to front the money. They will want to money up front then one person will have to ship out. It will be a nightmare IMHO. Then you have to get enough people to actually commit and not flake out.... uh I wasnt ready or I dont have the cash etc.

    I looked into the Hotchkis as well. Discontinued many years ago.... the beltech is the closest to the Hotchkis bar..... I inquired about seeing if Hotchkis would build their rear bar again and I think they needed a minimum order of 20. I wasnt going to front over 6k and hope I could find enough people to buy them or try and put a group buy together.....

    I bought the beltech rear bar but have been busy and havent had time to install. I just moved into a new house and got my lift setup again. I think the forward facing ones will give you more room. My truck has a custom dual exhaust which is why I went the beltech route. I thought about the suv bar but the end links looked like the would not clear the way mine is routed. Ill post pics once I get around to doing mine but probably wont be until first of September...... lol.

    Huh, almost everything Dorman I've ever tried was inferior to OEM. Particularly rubber products, even simple stuff like brake pedal pads and PCV breather hose (the rubber boot failed very soon.) So good luck

    X2...... most Dorman stuff is import (China) most GM is North America..... US Canada and Mexico.....
