Picked up the Scout from Charlie at Truett Worrell and he had completed work on the springs, lowering them, pushing out the angle of the shackles and thus softening the ride considerably. I still have plenty of clearance for the wheels - probably still have a couple extra inches lift over factory delivery standard. This ride still ain't no cushy luxury sedan by any means but it's much better.
Next stop was to see Gerald Warner at Jeff-Tech in Arlington. Mark Drake of Scout Madness in Lubbock, TX told me that Gerald is the man for Scouts in Dallas and he knows what he's doing on a Scout. When I got to his place, in fact he had 3 or 4 other Scouts in the shop, which was good to see! With all new gauges and a new fuel tank sending unit and still not having a functioning amp, fuel, temp or oil gauge, I am at the point where I need a mechanic who is an expert at working specifically on these old Scouts. The steering is still a little questionable, the brakes may need attention and the clutch probably needs to be checked. Gerald says he is the man who can take care of all this! I believe him...
