    Today's lucky dog deal of the day

    And it cost me nothing. When I bought my 19 Ram earlier this year, my 1st thought was "I don't like those Firestones just because they are Firestones". Personal preference. So I toyed with buying a mild all terrain tire like I had on my 05 Ram, and selling the Fstones off cheap. Opened...

    Best place to loose the brakes in the family driver's ed vehicle

    So some of you may have seen my post about picking up a $1000 Dakota as the family driver's ed vehicle a couple of months ago. It s an '03, 4x4, club cab with 127k miles on the clock. I haven't taken the time to go over the whole underside yet, figuring I would when he actually starts getting...

    Hassle free lifetime guarantee, they say

    Was only a minor hassle. #2 Phillips screwdriver, Kobalt at Lowe's. Probably have had it for 5 years. Broke the tip off a couple of moths ago. FINALLY remembered to take it with me. They don't sell this one individually. Only in a blister packed set. Old guy working the tool section said...

    Gear lube still stinks

    So I've got this 741 case that has been sitting open and dry for about a decade and a half or more. Sold the R&P out of it the other day, to a member here. Man, the gear lube stink that thing released when I cracked the caps loose and unbolted the ring gear. Just the little bit that came out...

    Another shipping cost gripe....

    Holy shipping cost, Batman!!! 6 pound item. Box measures 32x29x6. 86 friggin bucks for a ten hour ride in a ups or mail truck. On another note, 445 smackers for truck freight for a pair of qtr skins. That's just wrong when the shipping is as much as the parts themselves. Kicker is they...

    Picked up the Keller family Driver's Ed $1000 vehicle deal of the day, today

    So Josh is 15, just 12 days ago. His little sister is right behind him at 12-1/2. The original plan was to teach Josh how to drive in the Shelby Dakota, like Jake did 11 yrs ago, and if it survives Josh, it would then be Jess's turn in 2.5 years. Well, all that changed today. Picked up this...

    Older guy at church, a Chevy man to the core, tells me he has an 8.75 in the back of his garage to give me. He does not remember what it came out of and says it's been laying been laying under the bench for a couple of decades. He's tired of looking at it. I'm making a lunchtime run tomorrow...

    I told him to check his u joints....

    My son's been chasing a whole truck vibration for the last 4 months. Suggested a u joint, but he said they were feeling good. We swapped his ground up rear diff on Saturday and he checked them again and said I think maybe the front one is starting to make noise. Ya think?

    Yesterday's deal...

    My son's 01 Dodge 1500 needs a rear end or rear end rebuild. Bearings are toast. Sounds like a dry meat grinder on steroids. He found a guy an hour away with an entire rolling frame from a 2000 1500. Guaranteed the rear diff is good. Says open diff and it's the correct ratios. So we take the...

    The loaner vehicle....

    Typically I hate dealerships... A shout out to the dealer, Thornton Jeep Ram in Red Lion, PA, with the backstory.... So I bought a 2019 Ram 3 weeks ago from their used car lot at their sister Chevy dealership. Discovered the left rear seatbelt does not latch. Took it in for that and the...

    A pic of 2 sons... makes me laugh

    We are, by no means, a family of giants. So it is only appropriate that this makes me laugh..... So our oldest, Jacob, was always on the smaller side all thru school, and here he is at 17 yr old the day we brought his 65 home from the paint shop in 2013. Notice his shoulder height compared to...
