Once again I tried to track down my start & stall issue, no luck. Used it as a mobile shop for some trailer repairs.

Homemade Disconnects

Made some homemade front disconnects today. I used 1/2"X4" long shank bolts. Cut the heads off flush, ground an angle on end. Drilled 1/4" hole for latch pin, welded on a washer as a stop and then used a lock washer, flat washer and nut to lock it down. Used a different latch pin to lock disconnect to sway bar in open position. Works great and get full flex with no worries. Costs less than $6 bucks, (already had the latch pins) and an hours time!! WIN

I sure would be worried... But who knows, maybe you used components stout enough and joined them together in such a way that they can continually deal with the loads they're going to see. I guess we won't know till it fails?

Unless someone knows differently I think your lower control arms are backwards? The bent end goes towards the axle. The bend is to allow more clearance at full droop so the arm doesn't contact the shock mount.

And those poly bushings are gonna be hell on your mounts.

Just got her back from the tranny shop. Torque converter became damaged and began distributing bits of metal all through trans. Sensor also needed replaced. Runs great now.
