i noticed when we first drove it the speedo dropped to 0 then back up to 60. i put 40$ in the tank so it's on 3/4s of a tank. i didn't notice i had an accent till my friends told me " no one else in marianna has an accent like you, other people have it some times and you have it all the time" then i actually listened to myself and others and i noticed holy crap they're right. people like to say drawl but i say accent. don't need to follow everything everyone does. it's good at times to not have one people actually understand you. i was in GA and everyone understood me. i didn't get one "huh" like here in FL.

Been a while man.

Not much of a fan of Moog anymore... They quality control has been seriously inadequate recently. Many of my parts from them failed. Many others have reported the same. I've since replace all of those parts though

That pains me to hear that, how long did they last for? At least I have a 5 year 60k warranty from the shop that put them in. I hated wasting that much money and not even getting, parts that I really want... Like dana 60s with gears and lockers.

Put a couple hundred miles on her this weekend. Drove down to Round Rock, then Austin, getting some school shopping for the kiddos out of the way. It's been so dang hot lately, this morning it's 73*. Man she runs like a different truck when it's in the low 70s, wish it was this temp year round....

Drum brakes last damn near forever lol, if you wheel cylinder is leaking back there just buy a new one $11.99 unless your really tight on cash get the cylinder rebuild kit $5.99

youtube and the shop manual helped me, also do one side at a time so if you forget where something goes you can look at other side of truck. they are the same just mirror image. if you need to remove those brake lines use one of those special line removal tools or be easy on it with normal open ended wrench they strip easy.

Well my I had multiple u joints seize after like a couple thousand miles. Not sure exactly how long. I did grease them regularly.
Ball joints.. well I can't fault those for not lasting. 37s on a 1500.

Got the distributor base gasket ordered from dodge. $2.34 for the ring and $16 after shipping is better than $115 for a new distributor
