  1. both axles are brand new, sway bar and lenkages are good / new. so where's the torsen bar mount? I can check that to see if it's loose. then the rag joint is fine, we inspected the steering shaft when we replaced the steering gear box and everything was fine.
  2. it looks very similar to our new pup who's doberman and collie mix... very high energy... if I can get her to calm down I'll snap a quick pic of her http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj196/smokin5s/Hailey.jpg?t=1255654457
  3. what kind of dog is that?
  4. nothing has changed, it was making that noise then.... so what else could it be? I've replaced everything in the steering except for the tie rods which didn't seem to have any play in them.
  5. great! how much am I looking for to get this done and is it dangerous to drive like this?
  6. so.... how do you replace ball joints? I don't think that's anything I've ever tackled before.

    sharepoint sucks, so don't worry, he won't neeeeed you for long j/k we've just been having issues with siteminder and sharepoint this week so I'm talking trash.
  8. see that's the problem, I gave her what we could afford to "lose" and gave her our payoff info, she gives us all the figures, we say looks good, then we go into contract.. .BAM prices are different.... guess that's what we get for assuming that we actually hired her to look out for our best interests. Realtors are like lawyers IMO, they are out to take your money for as little work as possible. BTW, this has turned into what it was not meant to be, I wanted to just warn anyone from going to Julie for your realty needs... I think I've made that point
  9. I had an '84 and it talked when the door was open or whatnot, does this one do that?
  10. ok, so I've now replaced, sway bar lenkages on both sides, both axles, steering gear box, pitman arm, and idler arm. The truck still feels like it's steering is loose and I have to hold the wheel at a bit of an angle in order to keep it driving straight (hard to explain) Also, when I turn the wheel to make a sharp left turn, I hear a clunking noise in the front passanger side. Anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this?

    WTB gas grill

    the rubber tube that goes from the tank to where the burners hook up underneath? if it's the tubes that connect to that rubber hose, that's all part of the universal kit
  12. damn dude, I seriously just took about 8 sheets out to a burn pile last weekend...
  13. dude, there's a big difference from 3200 and 17,000. we have a limit to what we have, I'm already not happy about bringing money to closing on a house that I put a fat down payment on it. 2k might not seem like much to you guys, but when you're already stretching your wallet, 2k is a VERY BIG DEAL
  14. so since no one seems to be replying saying they are CR's new VZW contact, am I to assume we don't have any VZW emiployees anymore?
  15. Verizon has a new phone called the Hero... it's been dubbed the iPhone killer... it's VERY much like the iPhone, we got a few the other day at work and it's pretty sweet. and it's open source so software, etc... is readily available for it.
  16. and the fact that these new developments are inflated in price while the builder is here and then when they move out the area drops in value because no one is in there holding the prices of the houses at an unrealistic value.
  17. yes, I sold it for around what I owed... here's the kicker, how was appraised 2 years ago for 40k more than what I sold it for and that was before I finished the basement, replaced flooring, and did the landscaping... gotta love this economy
  18. sorry... long day, but ya, I've never owned better cameras then when I start buying Nikon.
  19. because of realtor fees (6% of selling price) and closing costs and taxes
  20. it's a cannon, Nikon is always gonna be better
  21. dude, I have no negative equity in the house, I'm actually selling the house for more than I owe on it... the issue is realtor fees, closing costs, etc.... when I gave my realtor my payoff, she told me I would need to bring 15,000 to closing in order to sell the house, I told her this was sthe MAX I could bring, now 2 weeks before closing she's saying, that I need to bring 17,000 to closing... 2k might not seem like alot to you but when you'er already paying that much, 2k is a big fucking deal
  22. picture is kinda funny but would be funnier if you didn't see the bungee cable tied to her ankles
  23. dude, it's a point and shoot camera, what do you expect? if you want crisp pictures, get a D-SLR
