Current Level of Progress: 47% of items to pass state inspection complete.
(45.7% if you count having to replace the bungee cord with a real battery hold down which, curiously, is not an area of inspection in this state)

That parking brake thing might be a small headache. What caused the DW? And how do they check axle shafts? And no windshield washer check? What kind of state do you live in?!
ReplyDeleteHaven't even looked at the parking brake except to note that the cables run across the muffler. Death Wobble not solved yet. It was muted by replacing a right front shock bushing. Gonna swap tires side to side to see if it's a tire balancing issue. After that, replace the shocks with $20 Gabriels to see if it damps it down. Like it says -47% ready. The next 53% might be a blasted headache! Exhaust downpipe is to be replaced, getting quote soon. Work continues
ReplyDeleteIf you have the time and are putting on a whole new exhaust, the downpipe is easy. It unbolts easily (I put new bolts on it) and the whole rotted system could be cut off. Snaking a new pipe in there should not be too dificult and then it's just clamping things together. I vote for a Flowmaster 40 series!
