stripped off the subframe for some blasting and painting and stiffening. Clearly the underside needs to be cleaned up to look nice again. 10 years of wear isn't pretty.

and positive that the trans mount and rear mount are good right? thats really the only other simple solutions i can think of. just the little things before trying to dive into something big. it would suck having to take out the trans. and rebuild.
I get an annoying rattle from my shift knob when I'm in gear. How hard are those bushings to replace?
The rattle might be from the little circle piece that is part of the shift boot. Mine rattles. Well eveything rattle when you have AWR mounts![]()
Yeah I know what you mean. I have full 95duro mounts. I don't run ac ever because of it.+1^^ lol especially at start up. idle at 2k rpms. my teeth even rattle haha
I took out my condenser because it was damaged and didn't feel like buying another one at the time, so I just left it out. Everything else is still there if I decide to buy another condenser. It's fall and temperatures are cooling down, so I probably won't get one until at least next spring.
Trans finally crapped out today. It is stuck in 4th gear and I can get it to engage 3rd but not any other gear. I'm thinking the shift fork came loose or is bent but I won't know unless I pull the trans.
