The push-button 4x4 sucks. The controller in the cab is 300 bucks. The motor on the t-case is another 300 bucks. No way to test them, you replace one, and see if anything improves. I hated it on my s-blazer. One of the things I liked BEST about my dodge was, that stick on the floor. I can deal with cad issues, those are dirt cheap compared to the electronics.

 

Anyone else take a shower with their pet raccoon? (where's farmboy!?)

 

THANK GOD NFL FOOTBALL IS BACK!!

Even if it's only preseason, I was on the verge of going nuts.

 

Fifty bucks for a transfer case saver beats hell out of thousands of dollars to replace a truck that throws parts all over the highway.

 

The two words between the quotation marks. But I'll leave it at that because I don't want to get banned until it's worth it.

As WTF's go: The old woman and I were watching a flick this evening and someone in it was drinking a martini, and I said to her, "Wow, a martini sounds good right now". She agreed, so we paused the flick and went to the liquor store. First WTF: I got their very last bottle of Bombay Sapphire. There shouldn't be such a freaking thing as a last bottle of that. Stankeray, sure. I'd never even notice.

THEN: I couldn't find the vermouth. I worked there two nights a week just ten years ago, and I know where the vermouth belongs. In a dinky liquor store, it goes with the mixers, right? So I asked the chick behind the counter, who was just 12 years old when I worked there -- and her dad and I are friends -- where's the damned vermouth? She said, "I've heard of it, but I don't know what it is". So in the course of splaining it at her I got an idea and looked in with the wines. Sure enough, there it was hiding next to the gallon jugs of Sangria. Carlo Rossi Sangria, Martini & Rossi Vermouth, it makes a certain kind of I don't know 5h17 kind of sense.

 

 

 

I think dlyter has had the unfortunate experience.....

 

at least 2 times too. My 241DLD has it installed from the factory (reman factory mind you). It also has a special "tensioner" chain, one that is spring loaded between the links to allow it to take up the slack over years.

 

I'm not a fan of push button 4x4 either... My old S10 Blazer had a 4x4 lever and cv axles, never had a issue but those weren't exactly powerful enough to destroy the front cv's anyway....
