yeah thats why iv'e been doing all the work on my truck myself (which has been ALOT so far lol) but i cant forget its a 23 year old truck,
anyway, i was wondering, should i go with an expensive brand off ball joints? i heard bigger wheels+wheeling wear em out quicker, so i'm thinking i should get a set with a lifetime warranty? and it is dangerous to drive with bad joints, if you jack the truck up there is a couple inches of vertical play

yeah thats what i was thinking, but latley i really want to stop putting money into this ttb, i dont expect it to be in there much longer, and it prob would have been out already if **** didnt keep breaking, right now i think the alternator is on its way out, the truck cant start on its own and cant hold a steady idle, lol i wonder how many grand i'm going to be into this truck for until i say **** it lol

Man, that thing is going to "nickel and dime" you to death.


On a side note, anyone want to buy a Kubota L275 and all the attachments? Last night when I got home from work, I got stuck in the driveway with this pos Dodge 2 wheel drive dually. So I start up the Kubota. Try to blow the snow out, doesn't work. Tractor won't push the blower through the snow, as the front axle broke this summer, and I have yet to order the gears to fix it. Well, after 3 hours of moving snow with the bucket, the driveway is clean, and the work truck s parked by the house. As I'm backing the tractor into its spot, the water pump decides to lockup. F-CK! What else can go wrong!? And of course I have to order the pump online as there isn't one in town......

Instead of fixing parts on the TTB and engine you should just solid axle the front while you still have the chance lol.
