Well in the ever continuing carnage I have been enduring over the past 7 days I have replaced a vacuum pump, belt, icp sensor went bad, and now my unidentified noise in the front end has been identified. It's not the shock or bushings but yet the actual lower mount that attaches to the u bolts.

Any clues as to where to even begin to look for one?

Here's a pic.





As someone told me last week at the camp ground, maybe if I would do Maintnence on my stuff this wouldn't happen. Aaron you know exactly what I'm talking about.

 

Probably talk to some of the guys who've done D60 swaps... Have you been baja racing Great White?

Was the guy that told you that joking?

Wow, Mike that's cheaper than I thought it would be. I wonder what grade of steel that is.

 

Apparently state Road 151 in Wisconsin is considered Baja.

And yes, that's what the guy we were camping with told me when my vac pump quit. Serious as could be.

 

Well, since you aren't in jail you took it better than I would have.

 

Thanks Mike! Looks like I'll be ordering one of those next.

 

Oh believe me, the thoughts were there. I just get really quiet.

By the end of the trip I was ready to unload. Worst. Camping. Trip. Ever.

 

Tried to rep you Mike, but I could not.

 

That shock mount is the same for both D50s and D60s. I've already sent one to the rust belt and should still have another rust free one if you want it. I think I charged something like $5+shipping last time.

 

Never fails, didnt see this untill after I ordered the new one.


Thank you for the offer though! Believe it or not this is a rust free truck. I think all the miles just got to it.

Edit: reps sent.

 

Metal fatigue! It happens. At least you didn't get ripped off at JBG; that's seems like a reasonable price for a new one.
