When it says drill out bushing, which one are they talking about.

The front radiator or the front cab?

Please help


P.S. PA instructions suck ***

 

I believe they are talking about the front most mount (the one on each side of the radiator). I had to do that to mine if your talking about the PA 3" BL.

 

Thanks man,,,, man It's been a long day and a crap load to do :P

 

It's all good. Make sure you use the exact size drill bit they say.

 

What are the torque settings for the in cab bolts?
Not in my manual thanks for the reply's!

 

55ft lbs.

i torqued mine down even more. i didnt like the loose feel. go at least 85ft lbs.

 

Thanks man.

 

you have to torque them to specs?






























oops..i didnt know that (:

 

Ya I tourqed mine to 85Ft pounds and never checked them again.

 

umm i just tightened them nice and tight with my inpact...

 

I just tightened them nice and tight with my hand, on the end of a 18inch wrench. They have not loosened in almost 1 year.

 

I put 70Ft LBS so they should be good. I'll upload some pictures of the first day.... 9 hours today + tomorrow still...

 

is it done yet

 

Nope Finishing The Bed Today!!!!!!! WISH ME LUCK NEED TO GET IT DONE!!!!!


EDIT: BED INSTEAD OF CAB :P

 

You did the bed first?!? You took the easy way out brother!

 

Yea, I just cut off the threads on the bushings on kevins and victors truck. So much easier than drilling (unless you have a drill press it's impossible).

A tip with the cab is oging to be the heat...heat up the cab bolts from the bottom (under the truck) to melt the loctite or you will have a hard time getting them off. Use an impact to make it easier too.

 

nah man its easy.

vice and drill, done.

i tired holding it in my hand once. lol didnt work out the best.

 

We didn't have a drill press though, but thanks for the tip!!!

I'll have to try that next time.



For kevins we did it in the parking lot of his townhouse, and vics there was no excuse...mine was done w/ a drill press...

 

well like a pair of vice grips and a normal drill should work fine.

 

No did the cab first..... then the bed... Spacers are in. Working on all the other little **** to put it back together....

Interior is all done clean and put back in, now on the out side I have to finish

 

Are you doing this by your self?

 

I did mine by myself, without and impact or torch! I ended up using a 18" breaker bar and putting a plumbers wrench wedged with the frame to hold the bottom bushing from spinning. I had fun!
