by Big Mike226 on Tue Jan 01, 2008 12:33 pm
A friend of mine has one and needs to have torque boxs welded and was wondering if any body knew a good place and said that he is also having problem with overheating when sitting idle it doesnt happen but when he drives it gets hot

Does he just want to have the boxes welded or add the reinforcement kit? As for the over heating, could be a fan, clogged radiator or t-stat issue. Def a circulation/blockage problem.

There's a shop in Eldersburg (Carroll County, MD) called "On the Ground Performance" that has done chassis work for us and some friends.
For overheating, a cheap check is to replace the thermostat ($8-$20)...in thinking of that, do you know if he's using a stock thermostat or has gone to a colder one? As I recall the stock is a 190*, but most folks move to a 180*.

If the boxes are not torn, the standard bolt in kits work well.
I welded my bolt in kit for re-assurance.
What does his cooling system consist of?
what type of water pump is he using?
What type of fan? Clutch style, or electric?
Did he install a new thermastat lately?
Lots of questions to get an answer

If they are torn the rear end will move around a lot, will feel like a broken bushing in a LCA.
Best thing to do is weld the tear and then install the reinforcements.
