    This is going to hurt....

    I get what you are saying and I understand your approach. However the truck is running fine still and IF THIS IS A PROBLEM, I caught it very early. The front crank seal isn’t even leaking and there is no evidence of bearing material as far as I know. I am trying to get as much info as I...

    This is going to hurt....

    I am on my phone and cannot see what my signature shows but the truck in question is a 2003 qcsb 2wd.

    This is going to hurt....

    I fired the truck in my signature up the other morning and it was squealing like a belt was bad. Wasn’t a belt so took it to a local place figuring it was a water pump. While under the truck the mechanic said; “hey this dampener is wobbly when going from neutral to reverse”. He said the...

    Bad link and interested in the product.

    Change Diff Fluid

    Maybe I am missing something here, but no one has mentioned using an additive for the limited slip. Keep that in mind when changing fluids.

    Will this work for an '03 California truck? Probably best to call me or text at 207 852 1143

    Upgrading the Valve body alone?

    Searched for what I am looking to do without results. Have the below truck in the signature, new to me. Just returned from a 1000 mile round trip pulling a 17.5 twin axle camper. Nothing heavy but reminded me how much these transmissions stink in stock form. I especially dislike the 3-4...

    Just need some reassurance

    This is who I bought the kit from. I did not call ahead, I just placed the order and two days later it was in my mail box.

    Just need some reassurance

    Thank you sir! Those brakes are light years ahead of what they were on the 1st and 2nd gens. I honestly feel like I could stop this truck instead of having to plan where to stuff it, should I have to stop in a hurry. I like the sound also. My kids have never known anything different than the...

    Just need some reassurance

    So a couple weeks into the new truck and I am honestly still waiting for something to break lol. The truck is flat out awesome. Whoever had it previously took great care of it. Although not having the records, the condition and high end replacement items speak for themselves. I am not...

    Just need some reassurance

    I have had more 4wd trucks than 2wd. When it comes to having a 3/4 or 1 ton truck with a diesel hanging out front, I have found the life span of components to be around 70k miles, (being generous). As I no longer am pulling a heavy trailer or going to be living in Illinois much longer, I see no...

    Thanks. This looks a little more affordable than the fass set up with the same results.

    Not sure what is up with the quick reply? Sorry for the spacing issues.

    Just need some reassurance

    Thanks man. I am already looking at ways to sped money on this.... What is it about men and their trucks? This truck is as basic as I could find with the right miles. I am beyond needing 4wd and huge power so hoping this thing goes the distance! Obviously will have a 1000...

    Driver's seat foam replacement

    Is there a source for replacement fabric? Checked genos and did not see the fabric cover available.

    Just need some reassurance

    Maybe what I am looking for then is, are they more prone to problems. Obviously pulling a trailer and wandering with three small kids, I am looking for a reliable vehicle. The 12 valves were straight forward and simple to own and work on. I see a lot of these early 3rd gen trucks with mileage...

    Just need some reassurance

    Been a 12 valve guy my whole life. Well life has changed in many ways and on to new adventures. Part of that adventure appears to be the purchase of a bone stock, completely rust free 2003 2wd SLT that was born in California. It is sitting in the lot with not even 90k miles. Have a ton of...

    Guns, Bows, Shooting Sports, and Hunting Gun safe

    Two things to offer: First, if at all possible, steer clear of the models with the digital key pad. These key pads do fail and when they do, you are looking at deconstructing the safe. In reality on the lower end safes, this is real easy with a sawzall, hammer and pry bar. Really not even...
