    CV Shafts SNAFU

    This is the one we looked up on his computer today... http://www.carquest.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_CARQUEST+Reman+CV+Halfshafts__10151_-1_10651_1414277_25090?acesApp=1# Basically looks the same as the one you have above. If this part # yields a dud, I will try the part number...

    CV Shafts SNAFU

    Yep, went by there as my last ditch hope and he said he thinks they have the correct part I am looking for but I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning because their truck comes in tonight. I will be at their door at 7:30AM when they open to see if they have it. If so, I'll be back in business...

    CV Shafts SNAFU

    I take it by "local" you mean a mom and pop shop? I sure wish I was in Tree Stand, USA about right now. It seems that everyone here in Raleigh must have their CV Shafts made in China, Taiwan, or BFE!!!:D2 Make them in America bitches, at least I know they will work on my AMERICAN TRUCK!!!:flag:

    Thanks Jim, I added it to my wish list. I will wait and see how CarQuest pans out. If not, Amazon 2-day shipping it will be. :thumbs:

    CV Shafts SNAFU

    I'm telling you Jim, this one has really pissed me off. It would be OK if there was a driveshaft shop that would just replace the boot that is bad. I know the bearings and knuckles are good, hell it's only 4 months old AND I haven't even taken it off road for hunting season yet. If CarQuest...

    CV Shafts SNAFU

    OK guys, I replaced both CV Shafts on my 2000 Sierra in May 2012 but yesterday afternoon I checked under the truck, doing my normal visual inspection (about every week or so), and noticed the passenger side inner-boot was busted open. So I figure, hey, it has a lifetime warranty so I will...

    Oil Question here...

    To be honest I don't really remember. I dropped a bunch of $$$ that day picking up her front and rear brake pads plus ordering her Bilstein front struts and rear shocks. Out the door ran me about $600 (the freaking Bilsteins were $400 for her car including shipping). I think the brake pads were...

    Oil Question here...

    I totally F-ING agree about the filter being hand tighented + 1/4 turn. That's why I think those A-holes at the dealer probably never changed the filter from the last time she had it changed. The pisser is the damn filter is right in your face when you open the hood. How hard could it be...

    Oil Question here...

    I put a Mobil 1 oil filter on there. The dealer usually throws a Toyota filter on there but like I said, this one was a PITA to get off. I dented it up a little bit with the filter wrench trying to get it off. My wife called and complained about the filter but the Service Advisor told her it has...

    Oil Question here...

    Thanks John. I changed it myself this time with Mobil 1 Synthetic and used a Mobil1 oil filter so I'll check it out when I change it in 5,000 miles. I plan on pulling the dipstick once in a while to check it as well. I still think the dealer pulled a fast one because they pull it way back in the...

    Oil Question here...

    OK fellas, I changed my wife's oil in her 4Runner this past weekend and noticed a few things. She has been having her oil changed at the dealer for over 3 years now and they "claim" they have been using Synthetic. 1. When I drained the oil it was the color of freshly brewed coffee (damn near...

    Is The Mazda Miata Really As Good As Everyone Says It Is?

    Which states are best for off roading?

    I would say check out Montana as well. I was stationed there for only a year but it was beautiful. The winters are a little rough (only went through one) but the summers and spring are great. Hunting and Fishing everywhere up there. The only bad thing I would say is that most of the land is...

    OK, I checked and now ask...

    The reason that urged me to do this was I was fishing in a Bass Tournament a few weeks ago and a guy messed up his truck AND trailer pretty bad when his spotter wasn't paying attention. A guy backed up to connect to his trailer and basically rammed the tongue of his trailer into the tailgate and...

    OK, I checked and now ask...

    Anyone install these Amazon cheapy backup cameras on a GMT800? I was looking into it and it seems like a harmless install but I will have to put another small monitor in the truck. Between my GPS and my ScanGauge II, I'm not sure I want another 3.5" or 4.5" monitor stuck to the windshield. Of...

    Anyone know where I can get new smooth, non-chrome, GMT800 mirror caps?

    Sounds like a plan 'El Jefe' I'm finally moving away from my manual stuff and installing power mirrors and windows SOON!!!!! Can't wait to join modern society! I've been a rebel long enough. Actually I'm getting too lazy to keep up this facade :thumbs:

    Anyone know where I can get new smooth, non-chrome, GMT800 mirror caps?

    I know, I know, this post is a little dated BUT I found these for you Daddy!!!! It says Textured Mirror with Gloss Black Cap so I would think (assume actually :dunno:) that "Gloss Black Cap" meant smooth...
