I finally replaced the snap ring tonight to hopefully keep my CV from pulling out of the diff. Got everything back together and the truck back down on its wheels only to look under the truck and see the CV had already pulled out again.

So, clearly I've got too much drop in my suspension. I could just remove the 3/4" top plate spacer, but first I'm gonna try adjusting my UCA and getting it realigned to pull everything in closer to the diff.

The super gay thing is that it's only happening on 1 side. I think it's probably because the drop bracket didn't relocate the diff correctly and it's not exactly centered.

Man that sucks. Time for some limiting straps.

That sucks Drew. Did you remove the spacer yet?

so your sellin this beast?
Yeah, but not until I can get things sorted for a new one. Looking for an '06-07 Base Model Access Cab 4x4. I've found a few on Auto Trader, but I'm not quite ready to pull the trigger yet. If someone offered me $18K or so, it would be done though. I might just post it on Craigslist and see what happens.

Just got bored of this one?
Not really, just want a few more options. I want more HP, but hate the idea of putting a centrifugal SC in an offroad machine since it probably wont give me the low end torque I want. It will be nice to have some more cab space too.

I would have bought an Access cab the first time around, but they are more expensive and I like having a short wheel base. I'm gonna move the rear axle up on the new one and slap on a short bed.

So are you still gonna keep all the stuff off your current truck before ditching it?
