No, we are not calling you an idiot, but your immaturity is showing through. Chill out and take all this as constructive criticism, don't be a know-it-all.

Kill this thread

Will a moderator kill this thread already?! This kid doesn't get it. we are trying to help him and he has yet to post his symptoms or trouble codes.
F'em already. Obviously he doesn't care about fixing his truck.Let him pay the grand to some yahoo. I have asked him several times to get codes and list the symptoms, instead he wants to defend his position in life. Maybe just move this to the general forum and let people dog him there.
Cadskins08 I hate to say it, but you are an idiot. The people that have taken time to respond to you thus far are very knowledgeable.
Suck it up or go the f home man.

the reason i havent responded is i had made this thread while my truck was already getting fixed. if i had the tools id fix it myself, TRUST ME. how am i immature? ive been sucking it up most f the time have been laughing while i read all this crap of people doggin me. the whole point of the thread was to see if that was too much. remeber i live in houston so tho's car repair shops jake their prices up like crazy.

Why were you saving for rotors? Those rubber hoses are bad in that year, - They break down inside and constrict fluid flow. - So much so, they can't operate twin piston caliper systems properly. Replacing those lines will do wonders and you can do it under a $100.

As far as the other stuff, - well, vehicles need to be maintained. I'm sure you can do the math there.

Take care of her and she'll return the favor man

Another great tip,jbrew.I'm gonna just follow you around the site, and pick up whatever knowledge you drop. I need.My brakes have always kinda sucked, but I thought it was all due to the 35" tires.My rig is a 99 as well, and I'm gonna go right now and search out a set of Stainless Steel braided lines.Anyone have a good supplier?

1st im not an idiot.
never said you were, keep talking though and let people decide for themselves.

2nd save most of my money but I help my friends out a lot, and im paying for a new computer also and I got college next year also.
That's great, do you want a cookie?

3rd, I bought it for $6,000, $3,000 cheaper than the dealer. And my parents had bad credit at the time so they wouldn't have gotten a loan for a car anyway.
Congrats. Sounds like poor financial decisions run in the family.

4th, the teacher doesn't like me very much, I found it quite amusing that I had a 30 in that class, it doesn't matter that much to me anyway, because it's a computer class and I dont need it to graduate, but now I have like a 85.
Found it amusing? Just a day ago you were biting people's heads off because you were under such pressure

5th , are you saying im an idiot because I use turtle wax ice? Thats LAME!
I never said anything about turtle wax ice, wtf are you talking about?

Read that again, glc has hit the nail on the head. In fact, go back and read it one more time.

Laughing? You seemed pretty upset over people's (mine in particular) responses.

As for immature, how about this:

3 whole years? So you started when you were 15 right? Geeze, by now you must know everything there is to know about running a business. Just curious, do you pay taxes on your earnings? I doubt it, so what you really are is an amateur detailer. Like kids who mow lawns during the summer, they aren't professional landscapers are they? It's your "I know everything and I'm always right" attitude that screams immaturity.

Not to mention this gem you posted on my profile page:

As I said earlier

I don't have a problem with teens, and honestly, people who have no real-world knowledge of drugs, alcohol and are dedicated to any religion scare me. They're usually the closed-minded type of individuals who live in their own fantasy world and make life worse for the rest of us.

Hoping that I get fired and my truck gets repo'd (even if I did lose my job, I won't lose the truck as I can pay it off now if needed) is extremely immature.

You've got a lot of growing up yet to do.

That has to be the most hypocritical thing I've ever read. How DARE you call yourself a Christian when you wish that on someone!

wow.. what a response. like i said earlier.

lets just fix all this crap. my truck is fixed, everything it paid for, and im happy.

you call me immature?
i dont drink

i dont smoke

i drive the speed limit

i go to church EVERY sunday (i'm very involved)

have very good grades (now i do lol)

i dont have any type of record (no moving violations either)

im the one who stays out of trouble

i never even seen the inside of the principals office.

i never had a office refferal.

im VERY true to my customers.

honest

loyal

if you have NEVER met me in person, or anyone in peron, you shouldn't judge them by reading what they say on the computer, or your phone. thats very rude, yes i have people that i dislike but i have tried to get along with them but it just doesn't work. go ahead and keep doggin on me, i could care less.

i do take care of my truck if you are saying to yourself that i dont take care of my truck. i wish ya'll could see the customers $40k+ cars that i clean, they dont care of anything, rims all scratched up , rusted and only a few yrs old, dings and scratches all over, tv's dont work, filled with crumbs and trash that not caring for your car. i dont even eat in my truck, no trash, carpets are perfectly clean, 1 dime sized rust spot on the roof, a few dings here and there and a few light scratches (last 3 things was from the previous 2 owners).

Wow. I see now that you really just don't, or can't, comprehend what people are saying to you.

Best of luck to you in life, you'll need it.

Boy - you really do have a hole in your marble bag.

For the mechanic to say that you had two plugs burnt up tells me everything. Mostly , the truck has gone thru hell from it's owner. Don't lie to me kid. Your type is very transparent and here I was trying to help you out.

That's okay, I'm a fast learner your just burning bridges as you go. You'll smoke one that matters to you at some point in time, then you'll realize your entire life has been garbage.

Mannn, - It sure would SUCK to have your attitude.

BTW - How in the hell can you go from a 30 to an 85 so quickly? Yea, just more trash
