I got the front aligned and now have found that the rear is out of whack.....When I got this truck it had a broken spring and the whole cluster had come apart. At that point I had found that the 1 1/2 inch block had elongated pin holes, (for the spring bolt) in it I guess it got worn out over the years.
I rebuilt the entire rear axle and brakes and reassembled with new U bolts. I tried to measure and get it located equal distances but!, I guess I didn't get it where it needs to be.. Exactly how does one go about this aligning? are there some steps that I need to take and checks along the way?? Thanks for any advice..
I did get to go out and play a little in the Power Giant today. I drove it all over the fields and woods. No bed on it and a little extra bounce in the ride.. It got a little hot but went right down. What temp should the thermostat be in this 230 Ind. engine? Thanks again y'all...............
