You could always try to find some poor sucker to go for you. I managed to when my 05 needed registration.

Lol

You volunteering? Not many people I know would go unless they absolutely need to. I don't even have the registration paperwork yet which would mean multiple trips for designated individual.

Looks really nice Greg!

I'll be driving down there to pick one up for my parents in a couple of weeks.

I remember going through that with my old truck. The ttb just doesn't like to be aligned.

And...I miss my 300

Yes, I loathe the TTB. Shop said today that one side is spot on, they can't get the other side, it's still pulling, hard. That's all I heard from them today. Said they were 4 hours into it and multiple test rides. Said they have to go back and mess with the good side to counter the pull so we'll see.

Shoulda never sold my solid 44. Thinking I'll find the parts for the solid swap again, and do that. Then throw a ZF5 in and be done. TTB=fail.

When I did the radius arm, radius arm bushings, brackets, upper and lower ball joints in my 96 4x4, and then had it aligned, it worked out great and drove very well after that. I'm kinda thinking something must be bent somewhere on my current truck. There shouldn't be any reason why the one side won't go where it needs to be, especially with camber eccentrics that have + or - 2.5 adjustment.

I am absolutely not volunteering. I'm just saying you're best off finding a sucker to go for you. I did. It was great.

That's incredible! I've had good luck lately over the past few years. There was one time, way back, I got there, got my number, drove back to east lyme from saybrook, ate lunch, did some work then went back to saybrook and still had about ten numbers to go, if I remember correctly, it would have been about 2.5 hours or more of total wait time if I had stayed there.

I wish Ct would implement some practices that Hawaii dmv has, out in Hawaii, the reg stays with the car, plates, so all you do is walk in, with the signed title, paperwork, they transfer the reg and plates to you right there and print you a new title. No waiting months for it to show up in the mail. Do they still mail you the title here? I haven't bought a car in ct in years.
