Today the Idler pulley seized up and fell off. Caused me to loose power steering. Thank God I was 2 blocks form home. Replaced the Ider and tensioning pulleys. Also replaced the Alternator since it felt like it was squeaking lately, it is under warranty.

didn't you hear the pulley crazy? mine sounded like a train going off the tracks before it went.
think i'm going to take the stereo out of dak and put it in my mazda b2300 that only plays cd's. it's a nice stereo but the dakota plays cd's, sc cards, i-pods and usb drives. the only problem is is i don't own the truck anymore. LOL!
nothing is going to top the uconn - mich game last year.

Tore my pass. door panel off to tighten up my mirror because if i go 80+ it folds in...also my outer door handle didnt work so i pulled the latch out and it was all froze up along with the locking mechanism on it so i sprayed it down with WD-40 and got everything working...then i vacuumed it out and armor-all'd the inside...and yesterday i replaced my t-case rear output seal...slowly but surely its turning into a decent truck...
