Hello all! I wanted to share a video I put together of my 04 5.3 truck. It had a glasspack on it when I bought it, I ran it single straight pipe with a Y merge for awhile, then a catalytic converter broke apart ( i suspected it was clogging ) so I put in OBX style 1.75" longtube headers, catless...

Hey all. I made my first oilfield mistake, bought me an older diesel. 2006 2500HD LBZ Crewcab 6'5 LT model. It had 170k, bought it for $16,500 in Feb 2019 with a 7" BDS lift, 3" body, and 37" Nittos on 20x9 wheels. It has been a financial nightmare but I think I got it reliable now. Its...

What's up folks. What does everyone prefer for a grease gun? Having never owned one before, I am slowly loading my vehicles up with serviceable suspension components and going to need to greasethem. There's $14 guns at auto zone then there's pneumatic ones. What's a good one for a garage self...

My girlfriend is looking to replace her 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 ext cab 5.9L 4wd with 120k, and a glorious 11mpg on a good day, for this pre-owned 2011 Ford Edge 3.5 Limited AWD with 85k. Decently high miles on it for its age, its first year was as a rental ( kind of a red flag to me ) and the...

So the Tundra can get 4.30 gears, with 4wd? Thats the perfect gearing combo for leveled on 35s guys. How come we still can't buy these gears for Ford? Is Tundra not reverse cut transfercase? Here is where I heard it @ 2:04 7iKQ79HV3aw

I have a few quarts of Mercon V in my garage that I bought in early 2011. Since then they have only sat there, for 2 hot summers and 2 cold freezing winters. My common sense tells me they should be just fine to use, but I wanted to see opinions if I should use it or not. Planning a pan drop and...

Hey guys. This is going to be a big spring season for me, an expensive one at that. I am updating my truck's front end. Going with new ball joints, shocks/struts, and I am going to need new tires. I'm planning on Moog serviceable ball joints, Rancho QuikLifts, Rancho RS9000XL rear shocks, and...

As some may recall, I was wanting to get a personal loan to get a small little economic 5spd car so I could save at the gas pump, and more importantly save my truck from high miles! Well from the advice of you folks, some family and co-workers who have financial experience, I did not do it. I...

Whats up all. I found a little car I really want to buy for a DD to save me the extra fuel cost and miles on my truck. It's an '04 Cavalier LS Sport 2dr 5spd with a great maintained history and 86k miles. This would be great for me and I would even enjoy driving it here and there some as I...

Hello folks. Darren here. The past year of 2011 my activity has lessened some from work being 12hrs+ avg for most of the part but with winter season here I am home a little more often now. I just wanted to make a little update thread for my '07 F-150 Supercrew. ( The links in this mini-bio...

Hey all. It has been quite a while since I have updated some photos. Life priorities are becoming too involving for hobbies these days. For example, these photos are of the first hand wash I have given my truck in about 6 weeks. Bad, I know. I need to make time for the winter preparation...

My friend had a flat and needed to get it fixed quick, his pal at the dealership fixed it quick. While over there with him there was a red ext cab LTZ in the garage without antenna, lug caps, wrapping variously placed, I figured it was a late model '11 or new '12. Sticker said it was a '12...

Well the exhaust order got put off AGAIN. Had a nasty surprise on 7/30/11 on my recently acquired 2007 Supercrew Lariat 4wd, front right rotor was smelling hot and appeared grinned badly. Been through this before with the old truck, twice... seized & cracked caliper piston. So I bought brake...

Back again from the busy living, with quite an update. I traded my truck for a new vehicle, check it out. :rollin: Alright I'll be serious. I seen a black '07/'08 Lariat Supercrew on my local dealer lot last week, looked like a chrome pkg truck and thats only available on...

There is a red 1998 Camaro Base 3.8L loaded for sale at a dealer down the road. They are asking about $5,000, its auto, 99k miles, t-top, black leather, and has the ground effects that some Base & Z28s came optional with. I really really like its looks though there is a issue with the bumper not...

Posting my newest enhancement over here in the paint and body for some more publicity. Its been a lot of talk with me going all PTM with my truck one step at a time, from handles, mirror caps, emblems, and bumpers. Well I took some action and knocked two parts out. After a mishap of the...

I need a more eco friendly daily getter without it being a stupid Prius. I have had a high interest in 2008+ Chevy Malibu since I had that silver LS rental. For awhile I was going after a white LTZ 4cyl as I want the luxury and cruising mileage and love the way they look in white, especially if...

Well this year it looks like I will be doing some modifications since my pause since 2009, ( unless a muffler swap counts and replacing the braking system counts as a modification, that is all that happened in 2010.. ). Well in store for this year, I am finally going through with my dreamed PTM...

Hello. Lately my truck has been needing some small repairs, fuel door being one of them. Here is my write up for fixing this very embarrassing issue which takes only 5 minutes of your time. Photos were taken with my BlackBerry Storm2 9550, not the greatest photos. Plus the truck is filthy...

Been a long long time since I have taken new pics, and I still haven't, but I photoshoped some older pics and was impressed with the results. Originals.

Changed my oil last night. Must have had a bad seal on the filter. I did everything I always do in perfect order, and oiled the ring seal before putting it back in at hand tight strength. Today in town I smelled an awful burnt aroma in the heat and opened the hood, the left side of the engine...

Well, it happened today on 12/11/10, she lost the trade in retail value and joined the AARP Trucks Association :uhoh: I really wish I could have traded it in last summer when I could have gotten $13,600 for it with 92,000 on it.. damn. Oh well, rough economic times, and it runs great...
