My idea is to keep it simple with using a good brand name shock. Currently both trucks have KYB's. The stock replacements work very good on my 01 work truck and the MonoMax for the RV camper truck that hauls heavy. I think they last awhile too if you like to save money. I think Mopar1973Man uses regular ole Monroe stock replacements from Napa with good results.

He's distant related to Donald Trump Sorry we couldn't meet up @leety Maybe next time, I hope I bucked head winds all day the day we left. Auto trans temps weren't bad, high as 150 at times. Those moments when I noticed everyone staring at his hair, I would say, ''no he's not weird''! it was funny lol.

@Dieselfuture, glad to see you around

I got 4 half gallons

We always have plenty of food to make up for guys if they run short. We are easy to get along with. I bribed my way into the group with Ice cream.

I texted Dripley yesterday morning with a somewhat lengthy text saying that many folks are still missing him. He used to always get back to me right away but, nothing has come back this time. I talked with my neighbor next door, last weekend and sometime between then and yesterday he passed away. Many were trying to get a hold of him during this time. I want to say life changes so fast. So after finding this out I am thinking about Dripley too and hope it isn't that Dripley got very sick and doesn't want to us feel bad about it. I know he smoked. I am hoping however, that he won the lottery and is busy doing all the things he never did before and will have time for us later when he gets tired of the Hula girls and the Ferrari. Think positive right?! A learned lesson from my neighbor... make sure you always have a cell phone ( neighbor only had a landline), That your sons and/or daughters have a house key, police aren't allowed to break in even for a safety check. That your best friends, ones that call you lots also have your son and daughter's cell phone number as we had no way to contact the family when we suspected a possible emergency.

By accident I got into bicycling and found it is the only exercize (sp.) I can do without pain. Helps and get to feel young again because after getting off I feel so great. I won't be making you mad anytime soon...

I saw that too. Many times I use sand paper to clean contact surfaces and use dielectric grease or like MoparMan I place a few drops of oil on each battery post/ terminals with a lite coating. Oh yes, welcome to the Diesel talk place... Mopar1973Man.com.

don't get into trouble this time following every pretty gal you see, just do food shopping, all will be well

I escaped left there in 78 Have a good time on the road Mike, safe travels. Nice time of year to go.

Funny how I don't know Putin at all but, every time I watched him on the news there was always a strong feeling of distrust, as if something bad lurking inside very man.

Yep this country is going to turn into a garbage bin very soon and the officials in charge don't want to do anything, like lazy bums but, they want their pay that's higher than private sector and retirement filled with great benefits. Now when you want service from them, try getting a permit without some kind of horse pucky thrown at you. They literally enjoy putting the screws to you. As if the homeless are a concern but, charge $14,000 for permits on a starter home without a garage. I don't know about you guys but, I feel many things in the world are running toward the foretold times and whoever believes should pray and build their faith over the amazing uncanny accuracy of the things written about them. Absolutely nothing against those who do not believe... there's not one member here I do not appreciate. That's a fact @wil440those are scary unheard of price increases you mentioned.

Amazing how your problems parallel ours here in the states but most of our protesters are antifa. Funny thing tho all this protesting and busting up store fronts over here and no one I talk to seems to know what the he11 they want. Your situation doesn't seem like just an inflation problem, man, those are some dang heavy price increases. Here in Oregon with the abundance of forest land we find it okay to heat with a wood stove. It's messy tho. Our world is changing in such strange ways all around us. My biggest problem is the lack of regard or lack of civility among people here in the U.S.

That's weird because my hip used to do that but in an opposite way. It would start hurting so bad I would be limping into the store. Then going down a isle and turning a certain way caused it to feel like it popped back in place. After that there would be no pain for the next 6 mos. to a year till it happened again. It happened a few times but, not for several years now. Riding my bicycle seems to help in many ways. I try not to do steep hills just go easy till I get a decent enough workout. I wounder if you should get an image of your knee at a knee doctor. You might have a minor disjoint if that's possible.

It is going to come to that where we will have vigilantism because the police and district attorneys won't do anything. What choice do the victims have other than that.

I thought a lot of what is important got lost here when Dripley and others stopped coming around but, listening to you real full blooded Americans brings me much relief, hope and encouragement. All of you guys speak human, thank you.

I am going to retire soon and have to watch my money closely. Be nice if they had a senior discount. Then some older more experienced guys might tend to jump in more.

This is what the Dems want so there is less greenhouse gases. It was written a long time ago in college text books that higher prices for fuel and everything else that's dependant on fuel is a solution to the pollution. The problem is it works for awhile perhaps but, eventually the higher dollar amount for everything means exhausting resources even further to maintain a standard of living, causing greater waste and pollution in the long run. I think another part of this is to make EVs a more viable expense. Only the grid cannot support that many of them.

Thanks wil440, I haven't read that thread as I'm getting some important things that need doing. It's hard to believe people can be influenced much the wrong way but, then look at all this gender change, racist because you drive a chevy or wear a cowboy hat. All those things are personal differences, part of our culture... all their doing is teaching a contentious lawless agenda that for some of the mentallly ill means resorting to violence on innocent people as okay. My opinion is that America is teaching nothing but a complete hate unforgiving agenda toward anyone that may have a human trait they don't like. It is so sick when many of these things should remain personal and get back to teaching and educating properly.

How come all the guys on this forum are so good at seeing thru bull $hit and they can't? Is that because Michael Nelson is our leader?

It would really be something if the Russian army simply refused to kill anymore. Rebelling against their own leader, care for the innocent. I couldn't push the button on a hospital or other innocent targets. That's so stupid.

I hope the rain lets up for you soon. It seems our normal weather patterns are back here in Oregon as this April has seen lots of rain unlike the past few years. I am happy about the reduced fire dangers but, not that you can't get after the wheel bearing work. Keep us posted.

Mike check your furnace an fridge make sure everything works and sounds good. Furnace should be running a steady exhaust, no strange flutter sound from bugs getting in the burner. Fridge should have a healthy burner with a good amount of sound and not clogged with carbon. At 12/13 years my burner had to be pulled and cleaned with a wire brush. It was burning very weak from carbon build up and would go out all the time. I lost a bunch of food on that trip.

Just spoke with IBMobile.... turns out pigs tongue is actually a wonderful piece of meat, beyond tender.

Crowd gets too big we'll have IBMobile whip up some pig feet soup. lol
