hmm, I might have figured it out. Google images can be your friend :D . Looks like 2003 to 2006 are my years

So my wife called and said she slid off the road in the mountains and bent the front bumper. She sent pictures and the right side has been pushed in and up a little. Not much, but enough that the lower plastic rubs the tire and she had to cut a chunk off so she could drive it. My question...

Sorry, can't help but I'd love to see some pics of your progress. :)

yaaaa, not spending that much. Be a different story if I did this more than once or twice a year.

was it 4wd? I could see where a 2wd setup would be a piece of cake to work on. It's the 4wd system that is right under the filter. Specifically the U joint that connects the drive shaft to the yoke is directly below the filter. Taking the U joint off doesn't gain anything because the yoke is...

I looked at getting a "generic" one when I first got the truck but the way the lines came off the adapter it wouldn't fit. I have never checked to see if there is a specific one for that engine.

I've tried that route a few times. Always burn my arm because the crossover pipe is almost in the way as well. This is a cold engine change only for me. Have to use my longest screwdriver to even reach the filter so there's enough handle sticking out to hit with a hammer. By the time I pull...

Yup, that time of year again. Changing the oil on my truck. Who the F#$& designed the location of the oil filter!! They must be in cahoots with the kitty litter and soap companies because I have to use both each time I do this. Good thing I only have to do this twice a year at most. Rant...

I have seriously considered that, but there's just no good place to route it to that I can find.

Finally scraped up enough money to by the proper stuff to flush and replace the old fluid. Did the double drain method. Talk about a cakewalk, I can change the filter and fluid in the transmission quicker than I can change the oil and oil filter. What I really love now is I won't have to...

Float may be sticking. My old JD had that problem. Once running the vibration of the engine keeps it moving freely

Don't know how :o You're more than welcome to if that's an admin thing. Not flush with money, but I can handle this. Finally got the clutch for my Saturn. Replaced it along with some very worn out TRE and Lower control arms. Oh ya, and two broken motor mounts.... :eek: Didn't...

So here's the update. They offered to sell me a replacement tire for $81.02, includes shipping. I replied that I would be interested in buying 2 tires to keep matching tread and asked if they could do any deal for 2 tires. They said they will sell me 2 tires for $162.04, includes shipping...

Just cause I got a bubble in my tread doesn't mean you have to join the club ya know :nonod:

That and the beast has been leading a soft life lately. No more horse trailer, no more horses, no more wood burning stove, trying to sell the camper. Lately it's just been going to the gas station to get lawnmower gas or pick up my cars when they break down :(

Truck is lucky to see 7,000 miles a year. 100K/7k = 14.3 years.....Truck will be 24 years old. By then kids will be out of the house and I kinda doubt I'll be needing a 3500 crew cab long bed pickup. :D

Imagine that. I leave a fairly unpleasant message this time and low and behold I finally got an email response. No apology for not responding, but they said they will prorate the tire. I sent them the pic they want and just waiting for a response now. As for the tranny. I have the earlier...

Had one of my treadwright tires develop a bubble in the tread...separating from the casing. 2 weeks later at multiple attempts to contact them and they won't reply. Officially on my shit list now. I only had 17,000 miles on them and a ton of tread left.

Well, here it is. 2 weeks later and I STILL have not gotten a response from Treadwright. They are now on my shit list. I called and left yet another message today, this is myu 4th call total to them. I had no missed calls of any kind this entire week I was working and no email either. What...

Thanks for the help. 235/85 is the same height, but I don't want to be mixing tire widths. I don't use the truck much and unfortunately getting the tires fixed are not top priority right now. 1. clutch on my Saturn, I can barely maintain speed in 5th gear if there is any hill whatsoever. 2...
