and yea my truck needs washed but it just snowed again today so it'll be all salty again.... oh well had some fun with some subaru's in a parking lot tonight
How many times have you had to replace your CV Axles since you have had your T-bars maxed? I would have no problem cutting my fenders a little. I plan on Bedlining my truck like yours anyway since I have a little rust I need to take care of inside one of my back doors. I also may get the Pro Comp wheels in the 15x7 size and put 31's on them instead of the 15x8. I assume that may make a little difference in rubbing.

so I ran out of gas last night put like a gallon in it and drove it home, today when I went to fill it up it didn't start... I went and got like 3 gallons still didn't start, seems like my starter is starting to go out but I got it to crank several times, and still nothing, asked a buddy and he told me my fuel lines might be clogged from sucking all the junk in the bottom of the tank so I went and got some seafoam put some of that in there still no luck... so I'm really not sure whats up, the fuel pump comes on so its trying to give the engine fuel, but I'm guessing there is a big clog or something, gonna take to my buddies tomorrow and take a look at the fuel lines, might replace the starter for good measure.

Also on a good note went to the junk yard yesterday got some 3.73 gears and the g80 out of a bravada guess I'll have to wait to put that in until I got my other stuff straightened out...

Im not sure how old it was by you last night, but it was about 5 here without the wind chill. Maybe when you ran out of gas some of the gas froze in a line.

that was my thoughts exactly.

as for your buddy suggesting crud being sucked up from the bottom of the tank..............where does he think the fuel gets drawn from in the from place? also......why do we have that "sock" on the bottom of the pump/sending unit anyways? oh wait.....it's to stop all the crap that may end up in out tank, from going through our fuel system.

Yeah I learned the hard way in my 95 Z28 I had. I let my Mom drive it one day and she about ran it out of gas. I drove it to the gas station to fill it up and it ran out just as I got to the gas station. Luckily I was able to coast to the pumps. Filled it up, fired right up, drove it a few miles and it died. Fuel pump was dead. I have seen it happen in other vehicles as well.
