The D50 has been sitting for a few weeks. I got it lowered at work, but then the holiday season opened the skies, and we have been to busy to get the alignment done. I got all the tie rods installed yesterday, and got it aligned. Truck drives like a dream. The toe was incredibly far off. It was so far gone, it killed a pair of tires in 3 months. Toe and tie rods also explained the vibration at 55 that is gone. I have two new tires to put on the back, and then get all 4 done with nitrogen, and I almost think this portion of things will be addressed. I filled it up last night, and can't wait to see how the lowering, alignment, etc help the MPG.
