I hate the amount of things my truck desperately NEEDS. Needs a new fuel pump, input/output shaft seals, possible shift linkage adjustment. Throwout bearing is on it's way out so, pretty much a clutch replacement.

And hopefully that's the least of my worries. Worst case is t-case & tranny might even need work.

Oh and there's the issue of the suspension and related components and joints, as well as alignment. and i also need tires pretty badly.. like now actually and a new steering wheel adapter (stripped threads).

OH and I almost forgot, I have a torn CV boot, so need to replace that and check it out and make sure everythings good, repack everything with CV axle grease and I'm pretty sure theres other things that need doing I can't even think of right now.

Converting to 5 lug is easy....front, get some older rotors (careful, there are 2 sizes), and rear, get some pre 91 axle shafts (make sure they are from the same size axle).

If you have a self pull junk yard near by, those parts are probably available.

The 6x4.5" bolt pattern.

The completely oddball bastard rear driveshaft U-joints (But I'm glad I have a 1 piece aluminum driveshaft)

Live front axle. I want manual locking hubs so I can use low range in 2wd and possibly save some wear and tear on the front axle/pick up some mileage. But live front axle beats CAD or auto hubs.

i hate how recently everytime i open the drivers window, it falls off the f**king track. those little plastic clips are a pita at 4$.

i also hate how when i got my truck it was scratched and had dents all over it, then i had it painted black professionally and it started rusting after that. and it went so fast that i couldn't keep up with it.

and the fact that if i leave the ac compressor plugged in it drops my milage down a full tank in 1 day

So far, I hate the extended cab and the V8 engine. I know Dodge trucks comes with a regular size cab. I'm not sure if they come with a V6 engine. I also hate that my truck is dying on me and I can't figure out the problem. Hopefully, its just a minor problem because I don't have much money at the moment.
