Ordered Rotors/Calipers/Pads/Lines all around tonight...Going this deep may as well do the front bearings as well!! UGH!! Still need to do something about the rear sag AND tires. Tires can wait until the fall but THE SAG, not only makes my eye twitch every time I look at it...but It sucked with the trailer on it this past weekend!! (Glad it's a 29'er and not the 41'er that I towed when the kids were still home.) UGH! need to play the number!! (Maybe the plow wasn't the best financial decision I have ever made.) LOL

Did you ever 100% confirm that the spring shop won't do the modded B's?

I talked in text with him today but I didn't know about the flooding so I didn't ask him about it.

Matt has been out of town so he dodged the disaster.

Watcher, I think you meant to ask that header question to Drunken Unicorn, he just installed a set of Banks headers on his V-10.

Cheers,

Are you talking about the black clip with the brake lines in it?

If so I don't believe the lower part is broken. the half moon part swings up and locks into place.

You think that's bad? There was a guy down in Houston (might be a member on this forum so I won't go into detail about him) that had a diesel X that had so many drive-thru receipts and empty bottles and cups in it every time we went into a store I would take a small handful of things out of his truck and throw them away in the trash can out front. His truck was clean and vacuumed but the little things! Like I said, he might be a member so I don't want to say to much... He's a huge black guy, think Andre the Giant but black, bigger and just as nice plus knows how to work on diesels and is a mod on here. He also owns a red "Toreador" diesel Excursion as well. Not saying anything else though, don't want to call him out

Mostly hookers but IIRC you did with your girl a few days ago before crossing the border to go back home

Had the day off today was able to slap the new 30' wheels on my bad boy.

It's been 2 yrs now working little bit at the time to finally get to this point. Buying one part every payday!!! A true working class truck.
