HeyYou, I'm an hour from GR, why do you ask?

I'm having a guy that several people at the parts store recommended do it after hearing the estimates I got around town but I'll make sure he knows to torque it properly.

I just got to this side of the forum but I've been around a while with my Dakota, if that's what you mean haha.

I'm just sticking with the Moog. Already had them hold it for me and I'm getting it for $138. Only $38 more than the other ones I saw.

Curiosity. I am in southern michigan. Think I might do a 'get together' come spring, for all the DF folks that are within driving distance of me. That would be a blast.

That's (pretty much) Ohio border territory haha but not saying I wouldn't do it. Would love to meet some of these good people and I know people down that way that I haven't seen in years anyway.

Day trip from GR. (but, perhaps a long day.)

Get your wheel bearing addressed?

Don't know how I forgot to mention this...

Took it to the guy people recommended, got it up on his lift, take the wheel off and the power goes out...so he grabs a light he charged, does the job..quickest/easiest Dodge wheel bearing hes done and in the dark at that, he says. Then we spent a good hour or so trying to figure out how to get the truck down until he decided to try running the switches/motor for the lift off of his generator and well, it worked haha but definitely a PITA.

Funny thing is my boss drives a 90 Surburan with a nice lift and 39 1/2s so I think if I had to call in due to it being on the lift, he woulda got a laugh out of it and not cared hahaha
