Rob tell me about it. When i bought beast two years ago i looked for six months for thus setup..


Well the truck will be home tomorrow. I dropped it off today to have the tires put on and my suspiciouns were right. It needs a new passenger side tie rod so im having them do that.then this weekend im doing the tuneup and then a compression test

That is so cool Micah, again, congrats on that. I was looking for a mid/late 80's F150 with that setup, but they are hard to find around here. Everything I found had a 302/auto in it.

That would be a bad thing MIcah. Not to mention with teh tie rod end replacement it would need an alignment anyway.

Thats not to bad at all Micah. Last time I had tires put on my truck it was about 1400 bucks. That was 4 tires and an alignment. 200 of that was for the alignment.

Good morning Idaho, welcome to Thursday! Micah, I'd go ahead and replace both tie rod ends. If one is worn, the other is probably not far behind!
