I installed both TF steering rods today in about an hour without being up on jacks. It would have gone faster except I put the dampener bracket on backwards and couldn't get the dampener mount bolt through it. I torqued the lock nuts to 60in/lbs with a crows foot. It really looks good with the beefier rods.
I was going to document everything with pictures but it was too hot, I was too tired since I did this right after work and too thirsty for 4 beers.
I am defeinitely going to get an alignment by a pro. My steering wheel is slightly turned to the left while the wheels are driving straight.
Did Old Flowers rd yesterday. Great drive.
Goes through where the High Park Fire was..
Some pretty steep uphills and downhills..
Traction control worked so well..
Only used 4lo on steep downhills..
Oh yeah and no scan tool or ultragauge for coolant temp......I checked on coolant a few time but it remained un-changed....pretty happy about that

Torque increases with the addition of a crows foot. Probably not an issue on this amount of torque, but something to consider in the future.
Winter Park is so nice. ...haven't been up there in a while.
old flowers rd was kinda my test for the cooling system. ...now that I got through that....on to bigger and better. .
I was happy with my temps up to Winter Park -- this was going down hill.. Going up I70, had the AC going and hit 199 briefly but was generally around 195.

I bought a new serp belt today
Nice. I need to get one of those gauges..... I ran last trip without and felt so vulnerable....but also gave me more confidence in the vehicle.,.. But yes I feel weird not being able to see temp....
That’s only if you use a swivel attachment along with the crows foot that deviates from the angle of use.
Also, if you 90 degree the crows foot...there is no increase in torque value. But, straight out...increase. (just for those that may be following along)
