You know what, it's not worth it. You're right. And I mean that genuinely. I'll be introspective for a bit, make some changes, , and everyone will then act and react however they decide and then it will just be whatever it is. If ya'll wanna treat it like a clean slate, fine. If you don't, **** it. It's whatever. All I'm doing is just letting it bother me and being not of a ****, myself in the process if trying to reply and defend and have the last word. So I'm done. It's doing me no good, hurting my non-existent reputation, and bothering y'all.

I applaud that response, good job buddy. Let’s get back to working on our trucks.


Man shifter cables are a pain to hook up and adjust [emoji21] these final loose ends are taking forever

The big stuff is always easy. It's the little stuff that's a PITA.

When replacing my fuel pump the retaining ring was the biggest PITA ever. Had to use a 4lb hammer to get it off and on.

Bruh, literally don't get me started on when I did my HVAC box. Everything in the cab was easy, it's the under the hood **** that sucked dirty ass..... :/

That'll be in my future if I don't get rid of her. She doesn't blow as hard as she should and the condenser freezes up sometimes.

Interior looks like. Ass all stripped out. Gain or not, I'm reinstalling tomorrow-ish. Definitely gonna leave the folding floors out, though. Don't want em, don't need em, and they're heavy. I'll probably reinstall the spare and carry the ****** little jack, but I'm thinking of going without those, too, at least until I get the 17s and new tires.

A long time ago when I was young and into imports I did that and instantly regretted it when I was an hour from home and blew out a rear tire.

Like I said. Cab ****'s easy. And, well, the underhood **** is easy if you know all the pitfalls ahead. Talk to me or xtremewlr when you're ready. I'd actually not that bad of a job.

Make absolutely sure you have a helper when pulling the dash back, though. I cosmetically damaged one of my airbag connectors trying to do it myself. [emoji850][emoji37]

I'll take that as a solid "better to have and not need than the other way around" and definitely put the spare and **** jack in, too.

I was actually kinda surprised when I pulled it out. I doubt it's ever been bothered, but it has air in it and everything! [emoji14]

Dude, so much truth, i did my motor swap in half a day, then a small pressed in ring in the back of the crank kept the trans from slipping in and caused a 2 week delay...

Not in public or around my ford driving friends [emoji23] haha honestly I don’t mind any of the big 3, by FAR Dodge is my favorite. This one is the 6.0 and he’s had a ton of issues with it. The thing rides like a tank because of his suspension and air bags, and the steering is sloppy, you gotta fight it down the road to keep it straight. Plus the extra weight of a 2500 feels cumbersome...

Wait a minute...

Hold on I’m gonna go take the seats out, I’ll let you know tommorow if it feels better driving around...

Maybe you lost it when you took the seats out of the loaner truck.

Got the phone and phone book set up on U-Connect. Also put the tool bag and recovery kit behind the seat.

Not too exciting or major. Lol

Got the tank level sending unit in. Just waiting on the gauge. I have an idea on gauge placement you guys might like. I'll show that later though.

Also I'm building 6 foot long traction bars for my truck. Using these ends. They are off a 05 1500 4x4 with a lift kit. I just cut them down to use the ends since the bushings are brand new. Will update that all soon as well.

Sounds small as well but I started using a windshield heat shield during the day at work. I have to say I don't know how I ever went without using one. I can actually touch my steering wheel now at the end of the day after work. Truck cools down with the A.C. so much faster now. Well worth it. It says dodge too. Lol
