datzenmike Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Bet water got in and the wires have corroded. There may be some leakage acting like an extra bulb making the flasher go faster. Quote Link to comment
MGTS Posted April 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Ok removed the janky trailer wiring. Not the issue. Swapped the hazard and turn signal relay. The turn is faulty. I also noticed that now the fuel pump relay doesn't kick on until 10 seconds into the video, and it's momentarily turned off when I activate the turn signals. Volume all the way up. It's rather quiet 1 Quote Link to comment
MGTS Posted April 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 Should I be concerned? Should I replace relays? 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 Was this without the engine running? just ignition ON?? The turn signals appear to be fixed. 1 Quote Link to comment

MGTS Posted May 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Are these trucks naturally light in the front end? I just got an alignment done and it still wants to wander all over the place at the slightest gust of wind. Is there a bolt on steering damper I can get? 1 Quote Link to comment
NC85ST Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Is that the reason you took it to have it aligned in the first place? 1 Quote Link to comment
MGTS Posted May 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Truck was in REALLY rough shape when I got it. Replaced all the ball joints and suspension bushings. Might as well get that checked out if I'm going through all that trouble 1 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Do you have the alignments specs after they aligned it? Post those and we may be able to make suggestions to get it more stable. I doubt you will find a 720 specific steering damper, but a universal kit should useable anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment

No front engine vehicle is light in the front. I assume if it was aligned they pronounce the front end in good shape?? Swap the front tires to the rear. See if it steers from the rear after. Are all tires the same brand and size??? How are the shocks? Look at them. Any leaking? Are they original, do you think? If so they are well past needing replacement. Loosen the top off and compress and extend them. If you can do this with ease then they are toast. 1 Quote Link to comment
MGTS Posted May 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 It's behaving the same as before the alignment. All the shocks are toast. Front tires are the same and have the same amount of wear, rear are new as the old ones were 10 years old and getting pretty bald 1 Quote Link to comment
bilzbobaggins Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 get new shocks. If you can dribble your truck like a basketball that is not gud. 1 Quote Link to comment
NC85ST Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 The alignment shop should give you a before and after alignment specs. You didn’t mention replacing any of the tie rods, but if any were bad, they should have told you before trying to align it. I agree that you need to replace the shocks anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment
MGTS Posted May 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 No, all the linkages are good. I'm going to look for the printout 1 Quote Link to comment
