    De-chrome grill

    So I hate the look of the chrome grill, and don't want to buy another. I was wondering the best way to go about removing it. Ideally I want to rocker guard it. If I just spray over I realize that it won't stick well and can be peeled off. I tried stuffing it but I guess I didn't do enough. If...

    New Power Steering Pump

    So my PS is starting to grind pretty good and I'm looking around to find a replacement. If I buy new, should I get an OEM for my 2005 1500 or is there a better option out there? Like a more efficient or even a different unit from a newer truck? Any help is appreciated, thanks!
