I normally recommend Brown Dogs, but given the lack of options for your application, I have no problem recommending these guys. I wouldn't be afraid to run them myself if I didn't already have Brown Dogs.

Alright so I couldn't find a thread for weird noises which is weird because I've seen it before. Anyways I'm getting this rubbing noise for like a second when I let off the breaks, but it goes away when I give it some gas. Sounds like it's coming from somewhere by the wheels but I have no idea
Anyone got any ideas?

He is in Florida and so am I, Gods waiting room. You can cook on the pavement here most of the year. My jeeps get to temp in 2 blocks of driving. Fan comes on at 224 degrees or later depending on how much insulation has built up on the sensor.
I used to to a trailer all over the state, had full gauges, 1 ton truck. With no external cooler transmision runs about 20+ degrees over coolant temp.

Does anyone explain me how to undestand this? :
Top of Piston to Cylinder Head . . . . 0.80–0.89 mm
Piston Protrusion . . . . . 0.53–0.62 mm Fit Gasket
(1.42), 0 Holes
Piston Protrusion . . . . . 0.73–0.82 mm Fit Gasket
(1.62), 1 Holes
Piston Protrusion . . . . . 0.63–0.72 mm Fit Gasket
1.52), 2 Holes
I know how to measure the piston in top dead center to the block surface to get the rigth gasket thickness and they give us all this values here ....but how do i measure the piston to check this 0.80mm to 0.89mm im not seeing ??? so lets imagine i have 0.72mm from top of piston to block surface and i know i will need 2 holes gasket but how do i measure to check the other 0.80 to 0.89 ? dont undestand this value here

Well, I know this is from a few pages ago, but hopefully you'll still see it.. if not, maybe someone else will.

Trying to track down a clunk/rattle I get when going over bumps. Did ball joints (lowers were shot), hubs (driver's side was going) and front axle u-joints (both dry and due). Have replaced front sway bar bushings. Control arms look OK. Could probably use a tranny mount but exhaust pipe does not appear to be hitting cross member. Can't find anything by grabbing and shaking stuff or jumping on the bumpers
.
Was greasing front end and realized the slip joint had not been done since I've had the truck. It took a lot of grease. Thought maybe it could clunk or tap when the suspension flexes and the joint is moving in and out.
