    Too many marketing college grads, and Chinese parts

    So headlight goes out on my KW, this would be a PITA on my old Pete because most likely it would be wiring. New truck simple enough. When at Napa I buy a headlight that is marked with 2 wattages. Get the box home and open it it has a high beam only for small square 4 lamp system (2 prongs)...

    Said goodbye to a old friend today

    Sorry to see her go, but we had our time together. I put almost 500k on that truck, 430k on the N14 I put in in 2013. On a better note I found a new toy in the wake of a totalled Subaru. It needs some work, but has the right bones, except for the slushbox. I'll remedy that in the future.

    Apologies

    Want to take a moment to send a apology to Dave 71 Polara. I guess I pushed a bit too much and maybe pissed him off. So sorry for that it was not my intention. Everyone I guess is a little on edge with all that is going on, I know I am. I went on a rant about a mechanic that was in hind sight...

    Covid 19 not stopping mechanic arrogance.

    Well, took the truck down to get a spring pivot pin replaced. It broke, never in ally years trucking have I ever heard of this. I thought that it had shifted over and I knocked it back in, but it is too short. So I explain all of this too service manager/supervisor. Sure bring it by we'll have a...

They are to go onto my Barracuda which is primarily a race car so durability I not a concern. I have...

    Winter storm Harper

    The weather people in the Pgh. area have been going on and on for days about this storm. Looks like our snow total will not be bad, but the ice is unpredictable and can be bad. Big John and others in upstate New York the 18-24" they are predicting is a crappy outlook. Stay safe and stay warm later.

    You tube and the downfall of man

    You tube is a great source of entertainment and some great information. However after searching for a easy way to get the crank position sensor out of a 98 ram, I have come to the conclusion that people are a glutten for punishment and doomed, and also that Dodge should have abandoned making...

    Thanks Dad!

    THANKS DAD. My dad passed away yesterday afternoon getting a medical procedure done on his heart. In hindsight I guess I should have been more concerned. He has been through a few of these angioplasties, so it seemed okay. Well apparently it was worse yet than we knew, he did that a lot...

I had a 43,000+ lb coil on, nothing special, heard a loud bang thought maybe I had blown a tire but I had no lean and no squished tires in the mirrors so onward, got down the road to deliver and doing a walk around find that...
