    The Current New Truck Market Is In Trouble

    I can tell you I only purchased my 24 3/4 Chevy gasser because of the excellent payout I got from my insurance when my 17 got wrecked. I have no issues with it and I can tell you it pulls so much better than my old 02, 17 and my kids LB7 Duramax. If I had not received that payout I would have...

    2025 Toyota Tundra SR Loaner - I really hate this truck!

    I can't see towing without a cooler. I can tell you towing 10,000 lbs in my truck, I have not seen that thing over 174. I don't care about MPGs. So if I lose a few cold I am good with it. Caprice has a nice one too and even after some "spirited" driving in the WA desert it stays under 190. I...

    Idiots that drive with hitch balls attached…

    You know I wanted to add, after I got the Caprice fixed from the scooter fire, a guy at work backed in to that bumper with his ball. I was able to buff most of it. He had no idea he had done it. I just happened to know his truck. I let it go, I understand how you feel, but the way some...

    I had that happen to my 05 grand prix. I got a painted front bumper off of Amazon. It really was nice.

    Idiots that drive with hitch balls attached…

    You do not know that. I will routinely drop the float at places for static display and if I am picking up that day or the next I will leave it in. If I am camping I do not remove it and drive the truck to places I would like to go. I leave it installed.

    Chocolate milk that expires in 2027

    On submarines you run out of fresh milk about 2 weeks underway. After that you either get powdered milk or UHT milk. You can get the UHT in plain, chocolate or Strawberry. I did my first underway in 1995 and we had UHT then.

    Got my QuickJacks.

    I did look at those but I love that I can get the vehicle all the way off the ground.

    What are you working on today?

    Brakes on the Corvette. These were super easy. All the fasteners were the same size from front to back. Loving the quick jacks.

    Works great this way also. Still really happy with this purchase.

    2001 Buick LeSabre transmission mount recommendation?

    I have had 6 3800 cars. 4 of them S/C. I have just used what I can get and have not had any problems to include the Anchor junk. Basically that is what you get. One of my 3800s had rocker arms(increase lift without a cam swap), 2 sizes smaller pulley, full exhaust. It was an ok mover (low 13's)...

    Got my QuickJacks.

    Scratch my last. I can use the 8000TLX on the Corvette. I can just slide them in side ways. I just checked, bunch of C6 folks use them that way because the rest of the their cars are longer. So even better as I have the longs ones for the trucks and Caprice. QuickJack (Bendpak) says it is ok...

    Got my QuickJacks.

    I ordered the 8000TL they sent the 8000TLX. I will have to send them back. I just noticed it this morning. It won't fit the Corvette. I checked my receipt and I did in fact order the 8000TL.

    You use the pinch weld to lift it. It comes with the blocks for it.
