Re: Starter Alignment Problems? Try installing the shims. Sounds like the pinion might be too close to the ring gear. I've had aftermarket starters make noise when installed and had to either add or remove shims to correct the pinion-to-ring gear clearance.

Re: Clunk from lowered Ty front end Thanks guys. It doesn't sound like a ball joint noise to me. The lower ball joints are pretty new. I'll check the torsion bar mounts, but it just seems like too much of a coincidence that the noise would start right after the front end was lowered and the...

Hey guys. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this before.I lowered the front end of my Ty to even it out with the back end after I installed the 2" lowering blocks. Cranked the torsion bars until the adjusters were near the bottom, with a few thread remaining. Truck sits nice and level...

Re: Looking for a Ty, split from smoke on startup I always wondered what happened to it. It wasn't quite what I expected to hear though. You're right, it is quite sad.

Re: Smoke on startup? Re: Smoke on startup? Actually, just put an ad in the "wanted" ads here. I'm looking to get a Ty, don't have one yet, hoping to get one soon.Used to have a Sy many years ago, but it ended up somewhere in Alberta. Got the itch for another one ! Anyone looking to sell a...

Re: Smoke on startup? Yep, a few tool companies make them. I have a K-D Tools #2078. It works great and it's cheap. http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/MAN34_TTW420.html Basically, the tool grabs the top and bottom of the spring and you turn the knob at the top to compress the spring shorter...
