    Appreciate Jimmie Johnson's greatness

    I'm not old enough to remember the real old days but I remember being glued to the couch watching Dale do his thing and that was great. Don't think I've watched an entire race since his death. Seems like nascar is going the way of the NFL, both are regulating themselves into oblivion. My biggest...

    Mirrors

    I ninja edited while you were posting, I will go in search of the heat grid, ebay has tons of Kool Vue manual towing mirrors for a pretty reasonable price so that might be my best option.

    Mirrors

    WT So my next thought would be finding manual mirrors then separately finding glass from a heated mirror and wiring up a switch for it but now it seems to be getting kind of involved. Do you (or Rich if you see this) know a part number for the power mirror control switch and wiring? I can make...

    Mirrors

    So no manual with heat option, if I get power ones can I still manually adjust them (only have to set them once then leave them alone) or will that jack up the gears? It wouldn't be a big deal if it was just scraping them off when I got in but I always use the heat to keep them dry when driving...

    Fog on the inside of the windows.....

    I'm taking mine in next week monday for the same problem. I do get a bit of coolant smell from mine though. On a previous truck the problem was caused by a poor seal on the windshield. Only way I can get mine clear at all is running with the window down a bit, not doing that all damn winter.

    Mirrors

    I know most people said towing mirrors wouldn't look right on my truck but I am seriously wanting to change my mirrors and figure I should just go ahead and get the ones I want. My major goal for the change is getting heated mirrors, this is an option I didn't realize I relied on as much as I...

    Winterization

    My goal is more along the lines of keeping the miles off the truck. I am starting another job soon that's about a 60 mile commute each way. My truck will never be a show piece, it is used and abused towing and hauling crap I just want something that does better on fuel so I can save the truck to...

    S10 price suggestions????

    Your best bet would be to look around locally for what other S10's or Rangers are going for. There is a huge swing in used vehicle pricing across the country so here it could be very different than where you are. Zem buys cars for a living and he's much closer to you than I am so maybe he can...

    Silverado/Ram Driving Impressions

    I've heard nothing but good about the aero turbine 3030 on the hemi's. I think that's the dodge boys version of a magnaflow. My Ram was an 08 so it was still the other body style and didn't have coils all around but it rode like a lumber wagon, glad to hear they got that taken care of now...

    Who Else Has Overload Springs???

    I don't have anything on yet but in spring will be putting on airbags with a compressor. On our work trucks (1 tons) before we even take delivery of them we have them add an extra leaf to the pack. I have never noticed any of the trucks riding worse than an average 1 ton but they are also...

    Steering Wheel Wobble at HWY speeds

    I know absolutely nothing about fords but my 97 GMC had an appetite for pitman and idler arms which caused the death wobble. Honestly, take all the ideas that have been listed and make a list in order from most expensive fix to cheapest fix; start at the top. Since the broken part is always...

    Winterization

    I never even realized they made special low temp washer fluid. My wipers get all covered in ice and snow and clog up the sprayer way before the washer fluid freezes. Good news is I should have a winter beater this year, down side is there's still no room for the truck in the garage so it will...

    It's red, it's a jeep and it doesn't have black wheels I have a feeling Zem just made a mess.

    No personal experience with them but they're pretty big on Pirate 4x4 if you haven't looked over there.

    Buy a truck and get AK47, America F YEAH!

    A local jewelry store does this every year around hunting season. Buy an engagement ring and you get a free shotgun (in case she says no? :dunno:) seems to work out pretty well for them.

    FML!!!!

    Put new brakes and struts on a new car for a buddies mom tonight. In return I get the car she has been driving. :thumbs: p.s. car we did brakes on is a 99 subaru forester with 226,000 mi on the clock and we're about 90% sure they were factory original brakes. The guy we got it from has had it...

    Show your full size spare(s)?

    Bernie, I wouldn't chance it running a flat next to a good tire on a dually. If you get a flat just pull it off and throw it in the bed, that's what we did on semi's if we were empty I'm assuming it would work on a light duty truck, never looked at the lugs to ensure it would work. If that flat...

    Crane/Boom Truck parts

    Medium/ Heavy duty truck service shop or service body shop if you have any near by, we have a ton here. Depends what parts you need, if it's parts for the truck I would try the heavy duty truck shop if it's parts for the crane or bed try a service body shop. Otherwise see if you can find out...

    GMT400 Chevy / GMC Trucks

    Worst idea of my life was selling mine. Well next to sleeping with that chick with lice but that was completely different. My 97 had a smoother ride than my 10 does but I'm betting it will settle down in a few more thousand miles. My 97 also had all the options, my 10 has none so I really had...

    GMT400 Chevy / GMC Trucks

    No it was a Z-71 used as a 1 ton. Suspension settled a lot, I measured when I got it and when I sold it, over the 3 years I owned it the suspension settled about 2 inches. Not entirely certain if they were ever replaced or not but I know when I sold it with 150ish on it, it still had the same...
