    Perfectly edible, though I still prefer aluminum foil wrapped and put on the grill for about 45 minutes before I plop the steak on. Bob

    NO 1986 Ford pickup had/has king-pins! 2 &4 wheel drive both use ball joints with the previously mentioned alignment bushings. Someone mentioned bending axles,,,that only applies to much older twin I beams that did have king-pins. No one is gonna do a reasonably decent alighment on this...

    Best 6" .44 magnum

    No one seems to have noticed the firearm your interested in! Dan Wessons are extremely well built, high quality firearms. Being out of production wouldn't bother me a great amount, because unless you're putting 500+ rounds per week through it, it'll outlast you. They were mass produced for many...

    Say what you want about Autozone...

    AZ is more shade-tree oriented. OReily has too many pro customers to bite the hand that feeds them in most areas. Bob

    Do remember a few (several?) years back General (I think) put vulcanized-in-place "boots" in tires to improve balance. Horrible idea. Bob

    in standing water Is this tire history?

    My guess is the tire may very well be ok. If not damage will be either visible on inside of tire when removed from wheel, or there will be a bulge when aired up on replacement wheel. No visible damage, or bulges,, tire's ok. Bob

    Do I want passenger or LT tire for a truck?

    I think the dealer may have oversimplified a bit, as the SUV/pickup sizes aren't truly "P" rated tires. Nowhere in their size designation, or physicaly on the tire is there a "P" in the size. More correct would be to call them "standard load" vs "LT". In a very few of the older sizes (235/75R15...

I'll take a ribeye marinated approx 1hr in Dale's home cooked over any steak I've ever paid...

    $350 for a water pump and serpentine belt job, wow

    Anyone with even mediocre mechanical skills can change that pump in a Saturday afternoon. That is, if he ain't got someting more entertaining to do, like catch a ballgame/NASCAR, go fishing, take the kids to a park, go to a bar and pick up a broad, etc. He'd actually be doing the pump for...
