There are thousands of places on the internet where I feel the price or shipping charges are too high. I simply don't shop at those places. It works itself out.

Installed the biggest mud flaps I could find!

Found a GMC dealer in California who had it in stock for $17.00, with free shipping.
The ones I found were $10 each from Agri Supply(a farm store)

I'm now on Medicare,officially old.
A few days ago installed a new radiator.
Not mine, but I changed the driver door lock actuator out on my Dad's 08 Sierra. Even have the scratched up arms to prove it. Worked out so well I get to do the two rear one's in a few weeks.
It would have been nice if GM would have given a little more room in the door to swap these things out if they were going to put such cheap, shitty actuators in the early 900s.

Wife's truck ('97 Dakota 3.9L 4x4) needed a tune up before it gets inspected this week. The last time I did one on it was 9 and 1/2 years ago, so it was a little overdue. 
Did the air filter, breather, PCV (and grommets for both), and the plugs last week.
AF was clean (it'd been changed last oil change) and the PCV and breather were good (but the grommets were another story, told elsewhere) and even the plugs looked pretty good for almost a decade and 70K miles.

The truck still had a miss after that, which gradually got worse, so I figured I'd damaged a plug wire pulling them. Fortunately, I was going to change them anyway, so I already had them, and a cap & rotor too.
Yeah... Good thing I did. Things got a little worn over the years.

Actually kind of surprised it was still running at all to be frank. It doesn't really show it well but the tip of the rotor is just gone, and the coil electrode is worn down into the plastic of the cap.
Purring like a kitten now though.

So is it Squirrel or Frank?
