Saved them to my list, let us how what you think.

One comment about stacks always bothered me, the whole "You can't put anything in the bed because it'll burst into flames" argument seems invaild. The Y-pipe on my stacks has been buried in dry leaves for months now and I haven't seen a lick of flame.

I just picked up a 12k harbor freight winch, got a nice deal on it too. Someone forgot to remove the Black friday sale tag so I got it for $110 less than usual which was $10 cheaper than the 8k winch.

I sold a 1980 Ramcharger that way. I left the parking brake on and twisted the driveshaft in half while trying to move it around the yard. It had a fixed rear yoke though so the guy drove it home in front wheel drive.

My switch started working again 2 days before I had to install my mirrors but I already had the new switch. Unfortunately the new switch didn't work so I cleaned the old one and put it back in for now. I am going to need new door panels so hopefully the switch lasts a little while until I find some and then I'll try and replace it again.

I just got these mirrors since my boss is buying my old set from me. Can you tell me how you got the mirror lights to function as marker and turn indicators?

Sweet, I"ll be pulling my door panels off next weekend to install my new mirrors so I can toss in a new switch while everything is apart.

The auto down function for my driver side window quit working today. It still rolls down if I hold the switch though. Is there a relay I can check or is it the switch that goes bad? I know it's trivial, but I like hitting the auto function so the window can roll down while I put my seat belt on. It's the little things.

That's crazy, do you still even need it? My father in law tried for years to have his work truck stolen, he left the keys in it every night but no luck. He had to wait until it died before he could get his boss to buy him a new one.

I have that first one you linked to, got it from Geno's. I've had it on about 3 years with no issues and I have gone off road and through some fields with it as well. It's nice being able to change my oil without needing any tools.

Got the motors swapped this weekend, new used motor seems to be working fine. I did get a better look at the fragged motor and noticed the rod also snapped the camshaft. If you unplug the injector and pull the rod you'd have a good running 5 cylinder motor.

No idea, kid was just about to accelerate onto the freeway when it knocked and stalled. He started it back up and it obviously sounded like crap. It was his Dads jeep for years and he flogged it pretty hard, guess the boy just got be the unlucky one when it let go. I'll pull the pan and look inside when the motor comes out this weekend. It's almost ready to pull but ran out of time.

Brother in laws 94 wrangler tossed a rod with 106k on the clock. Currently swapping in a new used motor from another 94 with the same mileage.

Come on, who doesn't love the adrenaline rush you get when you weld your wrench to the fender.

I went with a 1.5" RC level, doesn't remove all the rake but made it more appealing for me to look at as well as fixing the slight rub I had on the passenger fender liner.

Not sure which transmission he got, he doesn't know enough about trucks to be able to tell me. It's already lifted though looks to be in the 4-6" range with at least 35's on it. It has steel bumpers and a custom hood as well. He says it's not deleted or tuned but he want's to get it done eventually. He wanted to know the ball park cost of that but I have no idea.

He had no problem throwing money at the last truck, he just couldn't keep up with the repairs caused by repairs from other shops. He tried to get after market headlights and the shop used a soldering iron to enlarge the bulb opening and hot glue to hold it in. I'll pass along the info as soon as I talk to him, thanks.

I just installed the same bulbs in my truck last weekend with some aftermarket housings. I agree they aren't as good as the Mishimoto setup but they are far better than the stock setup. I have a 30 minute drive to work in the dark every morning so I'll find out how long they last. At least the bulbs are cheap, about $15 for the pair shipped from Rock Auto. I may order another set as backup if longevity is a concern.

So my friends son who does pipe lining work out east finally moved on from his 6.0 silverado which had been hacked on by just about every middle of nowhere "mechanic" and bought himself a 2018 Ram 3500 with the 6.7. I don't know much about this truck yet, will probably be a few months before I see it but I know he will be asking me for help with it eventually. I plan on talking to him soon, I was wondering if there was anything I should warn him about to get done or watch out for. This truck is going to get used and abused, his chevy can no longer be properly aligned due to some of his work related off road excursions. Is there anything you would suggest running in the fuel as I have a feeling he may be fueling up at out of the way places and dirty fuel could be a concern. I'd like to help him make this truck last, especially since he got a diesel at my suggestion.

A friend of mine accidentally ordered 2 of these so he let me have one. I'm still not sure if I want to keep it on the truck, I only mounted it to the grill as I need a new one anyhow. If I decide to pull it off I just slap the new grill on and it's back to normal. My wife thinks it's a hoot staring at a duck butt while we drive though.

I installed these yesterday, got them for free from my boss. He ordered a set and a tab was broken so they sent him a whole new set and he gave me the others ones. While I put these in I also added the relay harness and some Hella 9004 100w/80w bulbs. It turned out better than I expected but there's still room for improvement. I still need to adjust them but they are so much better than the TYC replacement housings with silverstar Xenon bulbs I was using.

Is that your oil drain plug? Having never been inside a cummins I can't really even guess where that bolt came from. I do feel your pain though, I have removed the oil pan on my mustang 3 times and always find something inside that shouldn't be there.

Hell yeah, congrats on the business. I hear you on people and their poor planning. My wife has her own dog grooming business and always gets the calls about "We just got back from camping and need our dog washed". My wife books out a month in advance at a minimum and tells people all the time but nobody listens.

It's been my experience as well that a vehicle will work it's best right before some kind of costly failure.
