Greetings From CinciTucky

Hiya! Generally speaking, I gravitate toward sportier cars, mainly smallish imports (I'll be looking for an old Miata or 240sx in the next year), but I like all that is motorsport. I've been struggling a bit financially (nobody's fault but my own) and needed to get out of the "scene" for a minute. I got a good deal on my mother's 99 B2500. I didn't think I was much of a truck guy, but I was wrong! I've had it a few years and recently lowered it, which I quickly decided wasn't for me and it's in the process of being lifted and refreshed. Most of the bushings are shot, as well as the hangers and shakles. Road salt is HORRIBLE! After that's all finished, which will hopefully be in a couple weeks, I'll have to change or have the timing belt changed as well as diagnose a lean running condition.

I'll be posting pics after it's lifted and I'm sure I'll be asking all manner of ridiculous questions as I work on it.

Welcome to TRS~!

I can relate to the salt matter also...but I had my frame sandblasted and coated before I put any more work into it...if you can afford to do that, you're ahead of the game...
