dat77sun Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 lost a wheel doing 65 last night, got really lucky it happened where it did and no where else, it coulda easily been way worse! Quote Link to comment
dat77sun Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 also after last night my driver side turn signal doest flash, it comes on just wont flash on its own, hazards work on all 4 corners and passenger side flashes like it should, anyone got any ideas? Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Since you likely used your 4 ways, it could likely be your issue, cycle it a few times, your turn signals go threw the 4 way switch, so there is a chance that it didn't go back the way it was supposed to, or the contacts are dirty.

dat77sun Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 ok thanks, ill try that wayno Quote Link to comment

dat77sun Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 made up my mind, gonna do a 4.3 swap with a 2wd 5spd so i can keep the stock transfercase, also gonna throw yota axles under it and do a sas, already have the yota rear axle, just need to find a front, sas will be done before the 4.3 so i dont have to modify my oil pan Quote Link to comment

I have an '02 model Astro van, so all I would need is a five speed and an ECM flash for a manual trans. I'm going to stick with the Z24 for now, but I will be watching your progress.

dat77sun Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 i would stick with the z24 as mine runs really good, but i need a trans soon and teh z24 is gutless! Quote Link to comment
dat77sun Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 thought id share this here! the story of my 84 720 by SICK620 Tyson felt the frosty wind flow through his grill and opened his headlights. He knew that according to the snow under his michelins, he had hit Colorado Another trip, and once again towed behind big Bertha's smelly backside. Every backfire allowed Tyson to smell Bertha's cheap oil changes and rancid maverick gasoline. He knew there had been talk about him leaving, but he didn't know why. He had always been reliable, and to him it seemed they hadn't even really ran him. They had just hitched him up and there he stayed. A prisoner of the open road, how is that even possible Tyson thought. He had seen so much of the road yet so little. His tires were worn and he was old now, but he was still as fit as the Hardbodys and Tacomas. His brakes were still new, and so was his heart. The day came, and Tyson's title was signed over on his hood. Tyson wasn't sure what to think when the new man entered his cabin. All he knew was that the warm buns on his seat made him tingle, and when the man slowly inserted the key chills went up his drive shaft. Tyson exited the driveway and he knew what he had to do, He chirped his tires a little kicking rocks and debris on big Bertha's fat ass as he left under his own power..... The world now his to explore, Tyson loves to ride. He has seen the highway for far too many miles, and always would rather take a back road or trail. He wants to die being ran hard on country roads and mountain curves; and he never wants to see the backside of a Winnebago again! 1 Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Wow, glad your ok, you can get another truck. :) Quote Link to comment
dat77sun Posted June 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 well all i remember is passing a buddy and getting head to head with him and then rolling 5 or 6 times, neither of us remember what happened, but i got a unsafe passing ticket and a totaled truck, his has broken steering. i just put new balljoints and wheelbearings in the front of it the weekend before it happened, oh and brand new tires on some directional aluminum rims my dad has had for over 20 years. shattered 3 of the rims, hoping the tires are saveable as they have 400 miles on them. this rollbar saved my life!

]2eDeYe Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Damn dude! You are a lucky individual... :no: As long as the tires hold air and you didn't cut any of the, especially around the bead, they should be fine. Hopefully you'll find another truck to swap parts onto. :console: Quote Link to comment
