My 96 2dr (long sorry)

[ROTNHOE]

Finally getting around to posting for the 1st time.To busy working on Hoe I guess.HA* Picked it up 4/2010 .104,500miles.Far from perfect but not bad. Have quite a large to do list yet, but getting some things accomplished. Things completed:Lower intake gasket,MFI injectors,new radiator,pitman,idler arms,TB crank 1 1/2",285/75-16 BFG KO'S ,new hinge pins,etc.,etc. blah,blah,blah. TYF has been a huge help in all these endeavors. Thanx to all. Current PITA'S: oil filter housing is leaking (i think,need to brake clean down). Have infamous wiper issue. couple other minor leaks.Things to do : KYB shocks,fix all leaks,brake upgrades,etc. Also,after alignment, steering wheel is off a bit.truck doesnt pull though. How does one adjust this?(I Know take it back to alignment shop).

Welcome! I have always loved the 2 doors. I just got mine 3 weeks ago and this site has been a huge help so far.

Glad to have another 2dr on board!

That's a pretty looking 2-door. Of course, take it back to the shop, they didn't finish the job, if the monkey who did the alignment job doesn't want to do, call for the manager. When I went to school for my ASE certs, it was called the "fifth wheel alignment" as the steering wheel is the "fifth wheel"

They're not done.

Is that Black Cherry ????

yeah shop will have to fix the wheel. your not alone on it, mines not centered all the way either. (thanks 4wheelparts!)

Mine isn't centered anymore after my alignment. But they screwed up the first one, and didn't tighten the bolts as much as they should, so I had to bring it back, I'm not bringing it back again. I'll just look for another alignment shop when its time for the next one.

wipers are an easy fix with a soldering iron. I was scared to do mine, but figured worse case scenario I have to replace the part that is already broken. Followed directions found on the web, have worked great since.

what is this so called wiper problem??? never heard such a thing, besides most of these trucks squeak like hell when there on..

Thanks for all the compliments. After some of these mods and general TLC ,this thing is starting to really grow on me. Even with having some pretty descent suvs/trucks in the past: 05 4wd quad cab dodge cummins(many mods);lifted cherokee;lifted liberty;ramchargers. With the Tahoe I dont have a $650/mth payment. Will take your advice nojeeps and call shop tomorrow. I thought it would b as simple as SFA vehicle and just adjust the drag link,guess thats not the case here.

Paid $4000. Certainly didnt steal it,but dont feel I got ripped off. I'm 3rd owner. 2nd owner bought it with 18k on the clock. Never had a hitch on it (that I can tell). Very clean underneath. Frame has no heavy rust,light oxidation. Has few dings that need dealt with. Wouldnt hurt to replace windshield.All in all pretty solid truck

Yes I read/researched a bit on this and I'm gonna give it a shot. Also read behind the circuit board theres contacts or something that need relubed(dielectric grease). supposedly this takes care of the squeeking?????. 1AAuto has a youtube video on wiper arm replacement.

4grand? thats a hell of a deal if you ask me, im sure a lot of others will agree for that clean of a 2 door.

Honestly a 2 door around here with less the 150000 miles on it well go for around 6 to 8 grand.... to me you stole that! lol congrats

Most of the time it seems off centered .(Closer to 10 and 4) Other times ,depending on crown in the road, it seems alright. I'll call the align. shop run it by them. Must say 96 ProComp thats one tuff lookin rig. Get rid of some bills, someday maybe you'll have a twin
