You must be blind because I can clearly see the red poly bushings on the other side. Anyways, Rick, how do you like them?

Hauled home an almost-new Craftsman self-propelled mower with a brand new Briggs 6.5 HP engine. Push mower down, just need to find a Garden tractor. Anybody got an old Sears or Cub Cadet rusting away in their yard?

Today I tried taking the fender flares off too see what the truck would look like without them. Didn't like what I saw underneath so I put them back on.

Adjusted my steering box(ty DYI Section). But it didn't cure the slight pull to right I have . Soooooo looks like a trip to the alignment shop.


Oren, get the satellite radio, you WILL NOT be disappointed. I have had XM(now SiriusXM) for over 5 years now. I cannot tell you the last time I listened to FM radio.

I've used XM before. My dad bought a new Pontiac G5 a couple of months ago- his Chrysler Sebring was really pissing him off and costing more in maintenance than the monthly loan payment. Let's just say my dad won't be buying a Chrysler car anytime soon (still not sure why he traded his 05 Ram for that damn thing).
Anyway, his new car came with XM for three months and has the fancy Pioneer system with tweeters and a sub. I enjoyed XM the few times I drove his car. Sound really good. I just didn't have the time to listen to most of the stations to see if I liked them.
Crap.. rant pt. 2 done. I really cant shut up this week...

Well my 1 ton TREs arrived today lookin' all spiffy and such.
Makes the oem 1500 steering look like spaghetti.
So I decided to test fit the pittman arm TRE to my drop arm
Well the TRE taper diameter is smaller than the arm &*^%$#@!
SO now I need to figure out if its the arm...or what?
If all 1500 ram sector shafts are the same diameter and spline,
a 99 1500 arm may work.
Just another Dd day...

nc drivers aren't too bad either. i was glad that i was in my sisters car when i went to dc and not in my truck, that place is insane.

the best drivers i've seen are in central oklahoma by far. it may have something to do with the 70-80mph speed limits though.
