Pretty sure that's the one for my '99 GMC C3500 (6.5l). Not sure which one in there would work for the wife's '97 Dodge Dakota (3.9l) though. Might be interested in stocking up on both if the price is that good. (Edit: EAA29 for the wife's truck, according to the guide, so not one of the...

But if you let all the farts out the truck won't run as fast! It's gas powered, ain't it?

Beats me too. :dunno:

Sorry... Daddy may not understand it but my first thought there was not, "Damn, those post whores on TMC are gonna want to see this, where's my fWONking spoon?"

Oh hell, that was four years ago and I'm not the one who took the video, it was some other guy standing there with his phone who showed it to the trooper when he got there.

Stupid doesn't even begin to cover it. At least not at my local Costco. They have a rule that all lugs must be torqued to what the book calls for, and if it's not on their chart, and you can't show it to them in your owner's manual, they won't touch it. That's all well and good, but does not...

I guess that's the only answer I'm getting. Sorry TMC, I tried. I really wanted to do business with this sponsor and help support the site, but $55.00 extra for the same part from the same manufacturer is just too much.

You might, and I stress might, be able to use the pulleys, idler, tensioner, alternator, compressor, and power steering pump off any '97 and up Dodge with the 5.2l or 3.9l. The 5.2 is the same block as the 318, and the 3.9 is based on the 318 (it's a 318 with two cylinders removed), but that...

Costco tire centers are where Satan lives. They are evil and should be avoided like the plague. I bought my previous set of tires at Costco, and while the price was great, the service sucked sweaty monkey balls. Never again. This current set of tires came from my local Firestone dealer...

Yeah, it was. He was a 95 lb. Ridgeback. That old boy could get up quite a howl when he got going. :lol:

Had one of those on my '79 Saab. Bob, our dog back then, used to howl along with it when my alarm went off. :)

As I stated previously, and as you quoted me as saying, I know there's no such thing as "Free Shipping", that things don't magically get from Point A to Point B at no cost. The cost gets passed on to the consumer, one way or another. I acknowledge this. You say that you "work hard to offer...

Ummm... did you overlook what I posted after that?

I'm going to have to figure out what exactly I did back then that resulted in those other numbers. I wish I still had all my emails and records from back then but I lost 15 years of emails to a hard drive failure (and backup drive failure at the same time - it was a sucky week) a couple months...

Just remeasured and the dimensions I used back then were 65" long by 17" high, by 8" wide.... and I just ran those figures through my UPS account and came up with a cost of over $90 to ship cross country UPS Ground. Something isn't right here because when I first did this, back then, it came...

I'll have to remeasure and get back to you on that. As I said, it was two years ago (closer to three now that I think about it) and I don't have any of that paperwork any longer. I do remember though that UPS quoted me $18.65 to ship the box to Chicago from my zip, and what I did was weigh and...

Yup, the DX IV is the most recent version of that puppy. I have one in my truck.

If not, I just saw one for sale on ebay for $14.95 :D2

Installed a ham radio in the wife's truck for when I drive it. She's not a ham, and has no desire to become one, but her truck gets better fuel mileage than mine. We usually were taking mine though, if we went out together, because of the radios. Now we can take hers and I can still be...

Cobra 19 DX IV is currently under $35 on Amazon and is an excellent little rig. They usually sell for about $45 in truck stops, so about the same cost (with shipping) either way. For what you're using it for, as part of your safety equipment, I don't think I'd want to trust a yard sale or...

I don't mind paying reasonable shipping costs. Someone has to pay the cost of getting it from Point A to Point B, and no company is going to stay in business long without passing that cost along to the customer, one way or another. (Just like TANSTAAFL, TANSTAFS... there ain't no such thing as...

For a couple of years now I've been wanting to order a part for my truck from you folks, but the shipping amount you want to charge for it has always been so completely over the top and outlandish that I haven't. After seeing this thread I figured I'd try it again, and see if you finally came...

When you can buy a brand new Cobra in any truck stop for under $50, and shop labor rates to work on a radio these days start at $55, the math is pretty simple. A local ham or tech might be willing to work on it for just a few bucks plus parts, but if it's a blown final amp (you're giving...

Not yet. I just put them on this afternoon and have not taken the truck anywhere. (There's a mercury vapor yard light over my driveway, so pictures of the lights there wouldn't be very accurate.) Besides, I still have three more to put on the front. Two 27w spots (one on either side) and a...
