I believe that the initial 'clunk' was caused the Carli track rod bar, which we just replaced (1k miles ago) so the original clunk was Carli's, which started with the sloppy-wandering steering about 6-7k miles ago. The steering got so bad that we fitted a Redhead steering box and the full Apex...

For sure I'll report back, I'm hoping that they'll stand by their products.🤞 When they were fitted I imagine that they were greased. I wasn't given any instructions to grease as I went, but also seeing how easily the seals pop out of their seats with the pressure of the grease gun, and how...

Today I was able to spend some time with my Land Cruiser building buds, and had the benefit of both an experienced builder and a second pair of hands to turn the steering wheel and rock the front wheel while I could listen and film underneath. All of the issues turned out to be the Apex...

I've crawled underneath several dozen times, added a pair of rubber washers to one of the x3 steering dampers that was clacking, but that wasn't it. Thenonly thing that sounds like it maybe a bit too loose is Apex track rod, but the noise sounds much worse than that, it almost sounds like I have...

Try reading what I wrote.

Here's a new clip of the worsening noise... https://youtube.com/shorts/Q7CmJ6aSAy8?feature=share

I had several Apex parts added around 4k miles ago, combined with the Redhead steering box to try to eliminate the terrible steering vagueness and wandering all over the road that turned out to be the bad Carli track rod end. To be honest the noise was there before the Apex parts were added, but...

Thanks so much for all the suggestions, will make a list and start eliminating everything again.

Can you help me identify this loud metallic clunk that seems to be emanating from the front left? The truck is steering and handling perfectly, having recently replaced a faulty track rod bar, but this persistent noise is loud and worrying. Sounds like it could be suspension brakes or even...

I guess I should have specified last call before going into deep storage, where they’ll likely sit till after my days are done, as nothing ever seems to get out of there! I’d really like to sell them as a single lot, happy to take any serious offers.

Last call on these parts, anyone interested?

Darn, I just realized I never got notified about these replies and totally forgot to check back in. I still have all these parts and love to sell them in a single lot - I’m in Los Angeles.

I went for the 6.2 when I ordered it 4 years ago because a lot of the early crate 7.3 engines were giving bad problems in motorhomes and tour buses, and it was also the first year they were putting them in the SD, so I went with known reliability. Overall couldn't be happier with the rig, the...

I'm trying to figure out the next tire for my 11,200lb rig, which is currently on 37X13.50R17 Wild Peaks, and while they're very nice tires to drive on both the road and dirt, they've been shredded by the approx 3,500-4,000 off road miles I've done around the American west (out of about 16,500...

Is it OSX / Mac compatible?
