the only napa that used to be by me closed. i never went there anyway. and the oreilys by me actually knows what theyre talking about. maybe i just got lucky with that one!

 

I think it varies from store to store..... The Advance by me is my go-to place for parts. They know me, they give me discounts, and they have a clue. Of course, it helps that the manager is a gear head.... and wants knowledgeable people working for him....

Autozone, on the other hand, will hire anyone, and I have real issues with the quality of some of their parts.

I don't know if we still have a NAPA around... we did a few years ago.... but, they either closed, or moved, and I don't know where they went.

There are others..... but, Advance is convenient, always does right by me, so, they get my business.

 

We have and Advanced that just opened by me, haven't checked it out yet.

For me it's AZ for fluids and cleaning stuff, parts at NAPA

 

Lots of gibber jabber going on

I didn't do anything to the Ram today, the wife took it to work. But I want to paint my 14x3 black, it would look sweet black with the red filter

 

Not today but two days ago:

Replaced my timing chain with a double roller set up from Hughes. The one I removed had about 1/2"-3/4" of play in it.

Also did my tranny filter replacement and installed a drain plug. Tranny is still slipping. Thinking I need to adjust the front band. Otherwise its shift kit and solenoid replacement before needing a replacement tranny :/

 

Finished welding the bumper that replaced the sport bumper that got smashed by a deer

 

That will look good with paint or some kind of coating!

 

^^ And a new grille


GTX, any pics of the carnage from the deer?

 

plowed some snow today... i need to get some new pics truck is doing amazing this year!

 

Thanks, ideally it will be black by the end of the week, I pulled it back off to add some bracing to the ends, and figure out a way to add some foglights to it. Would look tons better with a sport grill behind it but the deer smashed it too... dang are they expensive and hard to find.

Edit: stewie01, I may have a few floating around somewhere. Ill see if I can find any
