Well its uncertian whats going on with me. They took x-rays and blood from me to see what it all is. My very lowest ribs are the things causing my chest area to hurt along with my shoulder areas too where they wrap around me and go to my back. My lower back I have no clue. They still say its muscles spasms and whatnot. What I dont get is when they put me on steroids to keep my muscles from inflaming to stop them from hurting and then you get taken off, it can cause more pain.....that to me is just a huge waste of my time and money. Then I was taking pain killers on top of that too and all that was doing was covering up any problems that I am/was having. The only thing that worked so far was the muscle relaxer that I was taking before bed. Now I am to take it 3 times a day and it can cause drowziness and cause some people to fall asleep but for me it didnt do that and Advil on top of that. So I have to take the day off work on the 9th to go to a doctor that I will be seeing regularly and see what the results are and may find them out sooner.

I just want to find out how all of this started and how it spread to my ribs and why they are acting up the way they are. Im told to do stretches for my lower back. My gf also brought up me going mudding tomorrow to the doctor and he said that I shouldnt due to I could be bouncing, jossling, etc...around in my truck from it all. I dont know what their idea of me going out a mudding is but Im not going to be jumping my truck or giving it nonstop hell. Its not going to be any worse then me going up or down a set of stairs.

Yesturday I will say was the absolute worse day of my life, nothing went right and just got worse as the day went on so I think I hit my low point yesturday but now can look to improving stuff now.

Okay now as for the truck, I think my gas mileage has dropped a bit, think I need to have my carb cleaned out with some seafoam, seeing how shitty the gas is today.

Well went outside and did a quick wash to the truck the get what mud I could off of her. Used a broom and some washing stuff that was laying around to do the job, broom helped with not having to bend as much plus couldnt find a sponge and wasnt going for perfect either. Cooling off now and then to clean the inside and get a list together for tomorrow.

List for tomorrow? Going to go play in the mud? Make sure your axle breather tubes are working right.
If your going to go play in the mud, why are you cleaning it?

 

[dangerranger83]

My front breather is at level with the master cylinder and my rear is just at the bottom of my frame. Plans are still to go play in the mud tomorrow with a buddy on his families property.

Washed the truck so that I know what mud is from tomorrow plus my rims needed cleaning and needed to get the mud from the underbody that has been there awhile.

Okay got bored and have been wanting to do this for awhile so.......

Not how the cab is level but the bed isnt. Frame is twisting a little bit. The side body lines dont line up when I do this.

The coil retainer is doing its job nicely too.

First time that I have ever flexed it like this too and I am very happy with how it all has turned out so far.

From the looks of your front bumper, your cab mounts must be worn...

 

[dangerranger83]

There not falling apart yet but the brushgaurd isnt on there straight either, need to loosen the bolts on the driverside lift it back up and then tighten it and it will be all good.

Even if they look ok, cab mounts might still be internally shot.

I know that mine look good externally, but they compress and lengthen about 1/4" when my truck flexs all over the place. Thank my GoPro, otherwise I would have never know and never replaced 'em. Now I have new ones on the way....

Just a thought.
