Connecticut's December BS thread
I can't believe it's time to get up (a quarter to Three) and no one has got it started.

Slackers.

Waiting for my truck to be aligned, wonder how far out of spec it is. Then I need to do an oil change later

I completely understand that, i just didnt realize they were so bad at only 66k miles. If i jack up the truck theres no vertical play in the wheel...oh well. i guess ill officially start the ball joint party, maybe next weekend. already have all the parts, just picked up a tube of mobil 1 grease for all the ball joints and u joints so i should be good to go
