My buddy had to take his treadwrights up to 80psi to get the bead to seat. When it did, it was loud.
Oh so my mpg will drop if I lower my psi? Screw that lol they have been fine for this long. Getting guard dogs soon anyways. Ill try it though.

I think it's inline, theres lines that leave the tank and go to a round cylinder that is mounted up along the frame just a little ways from the tank, then the lines head up north from there. I'd assume thats the filter.

Ya I think I will replace it as well.

32 is pretty standard. I tend to fill mine to 33 to allow some bleed cause I very rarely check them.

Right after I put my 3 link on I now have some super annoying vibrations that are synonymous with the engine.
At idle it vibes, sometimes under load it vibrates and sometimes it doesn't.

Nothing changed under the hood..other than I busted the ccv hose and then taped it up. I did notice a single grey wire handing down by the o2 sensor on the cat..

Would the new cross member for my 3 link cause more vibration? Heck..it's annoying

Did the trans mount change? That's the only thing I can think of that would cause vibes transfered from the engine to the trans into the cross member maybe? Hmm...
