Lost brakes Monday. A line rotted out on the passenger side. $79 at the dealer, so I got the part # and ordered it from Tasca Parts. Got it for $49.58, while on Tasca went ahead and got a transmission screen, and fuel filter. $92 and done.

My Cravenspeed antenna got stolen from a high power blast of water at the car wash... Contacted Cravenspeed and they issued me a replacement free of charge. very cool of them!

And just 5 minutes ago, I ordered Rancho Quiklifts & RS9000XL shocks from The suspension Source. They price matched two sources and i'll get the $120.00 rebate .

So the truck got some money investing this week.

Next up, need to get Moog lower ball joints, and then i'll be ready to overhaul my front suspension.

Found a broken ****, issue with temperature not adjusting. Installed MagnaFlow duel exhaust, and cleaned all of the fuel and emissions components.

Came so close to ordering a borla s-type then backed off because I saw the xr1 offering was $40 less. So now I don't know what to switch to....

Bought AVS ventvisors, scuffed, primed, painted stone green, and now they are drying off waiting for the clear to harden properly and sand, buff and wax to install. Came out really neat for a rattle can job

Hi T&D, I am in need of a tailgate badge. Would you be willing to part with the one you just took off? BTW, those new badges look sweet!

Waiting very impatiently on a shipped status for my order on Tasca Parts ordered on March 6th.... Brake line ( kinda need that to drive the truck ), trans screen, and a fuel filter ( maintenance ).

On a plus side, my Rancho components have shipped from The Suspension Source and should show up Wednsday!

Didn't you buy a new 5.0 last year T&D?

Had pinion seal and rear differential fluid changed along with a destroyed lower drivers side bj at the dealer. Picking her up soon
