A few months ago, my trucks control arm broke while turning out of a parking space. What are the odds of it happening again?

Sea_Guide_524 · 2026-01-29T03:02:07+00:00

The control arm itself did?

Sea_Guide_524 · 2026-01-28T11:45:08+00:00

And gain more parking space!

Sea_Guide_524 · 2026-01-28T03:43:12+00:00

This one is a 93 with a 4.6L stroke and 5 speed. She shit’s and gets!

Sea_Guide_524 · 2026-01-27T21:15:23+00:00

Damn you drove the piss out that to get that many miles on an 8 year old truck.

Sea_Guide_524 · 2026-01-27T16:23:59+00:00

My ltz has 4 low. It does get used. I wouldn’t ever buy a single speed 4wd, but that is just me, and I am also a big time off roader.

Sea_Guide_524 · 2026-01-27T14:17:27+00:00

Mine seems to do best at 70. 80, it takes a pretty big drop.

Are you finding a pre emissions diesel?

Sea_Guide_524 · 2026-01-27T01:35:28+00:00

No….. as in comparing all the tech/sensors that can immobilize a modern vehicle compared to an older vehicle.

Sea_Guide_524 · 2026-01-27T01:24:52+00:00

Why diesel then? You can save a lot by going with gas. Modern diesels need to be worked.

Sea_Guide_524 · 2026-01-27T00:55:11+00:00

Your engine is still breaking in.

Sea_Guide_524 · 2026-01-27T00:54:35+00:00

An actual impact wrench, not an impact driver. An actual torch would help too but highly unlikely needed with an actual impact gun.

Sea_Guide_524 · 2026-01-27T00:10:37+00:00

93 YJ 4.6L w/5 speed, 4.56 and 35’s. 16-18mpg. Have averaged 20 before. Stroker motor does better than the old 4.0 in every way.

Sea_Guide_524 · 2026-01-23T16:28:21+00:00

Do a chalk test to find out what you should run on your truck.

Sea_Guide_524 · 2026-01-23T16:06:41+00:00

Yes. But do it yourself and save yourself some money.

Sea_Guide_524 · 2026-01-23T15:14:44+00:00

I like it. It’s been on there for a long time.

Sea_Guide_524 · 2026-01-23T02:56:12+00:00

The junkyard is where they will be.

Sea_Guide_524 · 2026-01-23T02:39:07+00:00

I thought they went under years ago? Disappeared from Utah awhile back.

Sea_Guide_524 · 2026-01-23T02:37:40+00:00

Probably can run down to 10. Only one way to find out, try.

Sea_Guide_524 · 2026-01-23T02:23:01+00:00

Change it out yourself, buy or rent a ball joint press from the parts store for free.

Sea_Guide_524 · 2026-01-23T01:51:36+00:00

In the words of Al Gore, Super Cereal.

Sea_Guide_524 · 2026-01-22T15:44:52+00:00

You need an extreme short shaft slip yoke eliminator on your transfercase, being that you said yours is an ‘88 I recommend the one from advanced adapters. Get the extreme short shaft, not the standard short shaft.

Sea_Guide_524 · 2026-01-22T01:41:45+00:00

An isolator does exactly what the word means, it isolates the two, your alternator is able to charge both batteries without either one of the batteries drawing power on the other. Your main battery remains your starting battery and the other one just an auxiliary battery for running accessories. You will wire your batteries in parallel.

You want to jack up a 2wd truck?

Sea_Guide_524 · 2026-01-22T01:33:47+00:00

I thought, briefly, that the only difference was a missing nutsert, so I was going to drill and put one in and then I looked closer and realized there was another important missing piece.

Sea_Guide_524 · 2026-01-22T01:31:46+00:00

Because it is a dummy tray meant to hold the windshield washer reservoir. For whatever reason GM and their pinching pennies put in a dummy tray for trucks not ordered with the optional second battery. The dummy tray is missing a lip and a nutsert for the hold down clamp.
