Dropped the water last night in the driveway. 17* didn’t let it run very far
Still icicles hanging from the drag link. Now with 50/50 mix it can live outside.
Forgot that I have a 1/4 mile tunnel in my back yard. Brappppppppppppppp. Made some music last night to circulate the anti freeze.
Wish I could describe the sketchy steering. It wanders across the lane. It requires constant gentle and ever floating steering wheel input. Cornering is probably the most sketchy. It will pull in harder and the counter correction can be unpredictable.
Toe-in is 3/8”+ Fault of my fixed T link and offset heim joints.
Caster is 4* It’s hard to find a factory number but some references are as low as 3* I know what some will preach. I could change the bushings and get 7* but it will most likely make the front driveshaft inoperable.
I can easily make this a crossover drag link setup. It may require a new pitman arm which isn’t an issue other than time. While the knuckles are off for BJ deletes, I can drill the factory steer arms.
How much is this reverse Ackerman screwing me over? Pretty sure I just want to dump it in favor of factory. It wasn’t a choice I made but rather a product of the arm design. I just rolled with it not knowing otherwise.
Full droop shot but aside from slightly flatter link angles, the two trucks are near identical. This truck would go 80-90mph with no steering issues. It had factory Ackerman and 7-8* caster being the most notable differences. Locked axles and full time 4x4. Never anything scary.
