Have you ever had to replace the fluid pump yet? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
They can take a REALLLLLLLLLY long time to bleed out since you can't really get a power bleeder on them.
You mean it doesn't engage until the last couple inches? Or it doesn't disengage until almost on the floor?..no adjustmentSent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
That usually means the clutch itself is worn out.(the disc is thin)Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk
Get a hold of ol tater, he has some great lube locker gaskets for that rear diff.....
Only 55?. Need that 1/2 in the rear.
I've got a cover coming for the GM in a few months w/ fill and drain magnetic plugs when you're ready.
I am about at the same lift with basically the same geometry. Mine rides OK, but it is a 2500hd with diesel, so more front, well all around weight.Upper ball joints go bad fast when lifted. Anything past level is not the nest for these IFS front ends. Travel and shocks are the big key for a good ride.
Yeah but the lift / tire & wheels were cool.....
Get someone to sit in the truck, running w/ the tires on the ground and get low enough to see the steering under the front end. have them gently move the wheel back and forth without moving the tires and watch the movement in the tie rod ends, pittman arm (out of the steering box), idler arm and drag link ends. most likely all of those ends are shot. https://www.amazon.com/Steering-Suspension-Chevrolet-1988-1991-Adjusting/dp/B074Q38KKK/ref=au_as_r?_encoding=UTF8&Make=Chevrolet%7C47&Model=K1500%7C454&Year=1989%7C1989&ie=UTF8&n=15684181&newVehicle=1&s=automotive&vehicleId=9&vehicleType=automotive super cheap, I'm sure there are higher quality out there, but this is the 1st one I came upon. Knowing what I know about Chevrolet IFS, I would just do it all. you're experiencing bump steer and wander from worn out steering, most likely pittman arm and idler are shot. you should have very little to no movement in any of those connections.
