  1. I've heard a lot of people complain about the FM modulators not working so well. A few months ago, I installed an Isimple interface in my 04 Impala SS for my ipod and I've been pleasantly surprised. It was easy to install and I like that I can control my ipod with the factory steering wheel controls. I got the part number I needed from their website and then bought it on Amazon for quite a bit cheaper.
  2. I thought it was Inland Empire? Also, Columbus Joint and Clutch has done several driveshafts for me and all has been well.
  3. Buy a tank sprayer and do it yourself. I have 3 acres and the cost is between $50-$75 per application depending on what I use. Straight 2-4D is cheaper, but doesn't kill as many weeds as a 3 way like Trimec.
  4. We get it already. Every truck that isn't a Cummins, Powerstroke, or doesn't cost $35,000 is junk. You don't need to remind us in every thread about diesels. OP, have you considered an old military pickup? I know they're 4wd and reg. cab, but they are a 1 ton (actually 5/4 ton), usually minimally rusty, have less than 100k and typically can be had for less than $3,000. My K10 with a 6.2 gets 20 mpg and hasn't missed a beat in the 6 years I've had it.
  5. 94% 45 out of 48. If I wasn't an owner of a 50's Chrysler product and hadn't spent years of my life looking at Chrysler stuff that test would have been a little harder.
  6. Go snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef. We flew into Cairns and then took a ferry to Fitzroy Island where we stayed for 3 nights. Truly amazing experience that I don't think you'll find anywhere else. We also spent close to a week in Sydney and there's plenty to do there. A few highlights were the Opera House, Powerhouse Museum, the Taronga Zoo, the Australian National Maritime Museum, and we did a dinner cruise on Sydney Harbour. The one thing we didn't do and wish we would have was go to the western side (outback). We spent 20 days between Australia and New Zealand and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
  7. You're a jackass. What if he was paying extra on his house?
  8. How many thousands of hours were on it? I scored a brand new previous model year (2009) Cub 50" commercial Z-Force 23hp Kohler last year for $2999. I stilll see those deals from time to time.
  9. Does it have Hydroboost? If so, it could be the booster/lines leaking.
  10. A commercial driver is a 70 and a judge is 71. Interesting.....
  11. I bought my 04 SS in 2006 with 20k. It's about to roll 90k and with the exception of an O2 sensor about a year ago (CEL came on 2 days after I paid it off), I've done nothing to it other than regular maintenance. I did the tranny fluid and filter at 50k, and flushed the coolant last year. Needless to say, I'm definitely happy with the car.
  12. This. I bought an engine from them with their usual "$xxx.xx perfect" bullshit description. After driving for a week the oil looked like metallic paint. Pulled the bearing caps and every bearing was trashed. Fuck those hillbillies.
  13. Good intro and welcome to the site. Keep us updated with pics.
  14. +1 Just reordered from them a few weeks ago. This was my 4th order and I have always been satisfied. Nothing (Heartgard, Frontline) has ever been anywhere close to expiration dates, either.
  15. Hunan House on 161 or Lai Lai on E. Broad.
  16. Anything oceanview available starting on Sept. 17th or 18th for 7 nights?

    If history is any indication, the FC will get wrecked at some point anyway....
  18. I know it's more expensive, but the Ditra is supposed to be the way to go. Much quicker/easier to install, and it's thinner than cement board. The fact that you might not have to reconfigure the dishwasher setup may also be worth the extra $$.
  19. Buy gift cards at Giant Eagle for the fuel perks. I bought $800 in Home Depot cards to purchase a water heater and just got $102 worth of free gas last week.
  20. You can't adjust the lifters on that, they have the type of rocker arms that are just set to a specified torque. Probably just needs a set of lifters. I just put a set in my dad's 97 Jimmy with 198K on it. It was ticking at idle as well.
  21. Will this work with an OE electronic speedo and no ECM?
  22. Just looked on Thirdgen and it appears you can use the same crossmember.
