You can start a chit chat thread in the General Forum and will probably get more responses.... General Non Truck Discussions

Welcome to the site!! We have a Welcome Wagon forum for new introductions....and....a parts wanted forum. Many members don't bother looking in the General Forum when they are looking for someone that wants to buy the parts they might have so you will probably get better results posting a wanted...

Good afternoon.....yup, and if you check out all the automotive sites that are associated with this one, you'll find members from all over the world.

That's what skeeter spray is for.... :D

Welcome to the site!! LOL!!

I've heard more than a few Chevy guys complain about the 5.3 engine. A buddy bought a used Suburban with one....the truck was nice but the engine was a pile. I have a 22 Colorado with the Z71 package and the V6 has lots of power but things like the thermostat housing 'failed'....haven't studied...

Don't know what I did but got in with my old username....but it's been so long since signing in that I don't remember who is what or what was who :D

What's it called when you 'wipe' hot lead in a body seam using a wooden paddle? Sweating solder is more common but you can also wipe it too. Been a lot of years since hearing someone call it wiping though.

Couldn't log in with my regular user name on my other machine so I joined up under CrankyONE. The shop LT is really old but I'm on it. What's odd is my info here says what my password is and yet I can't login on my other machine that's in my office using that password.

Thanks! Wish I could take credit for it but kept it looking decent for over 5 years now. My 95 Dakota looks like it went through hell and back! At least it's not beat up but it is fairly worn out.

My 5.9 diesel has a hard time to come up to temp.....I can block the radiator 85% and it will run at 180 in 70* weather but will get up to 195 in extended stops like in heavy traffic. And don't tell me to install a new stat. Done that many times and gave up and went to the blocked radiator. The...

Had this 96 Dakota for about 5 years now. Was advertised on Craigslist for way too much and it didn't sell until I made a low ball offer....V6 but runs good and has one repaint before I got it. Dang red needs buffing....

I like the RT wheels too but couldn't find any that were reasonable at the time and had the Durango wheels already so, they went on. Also had a full set of Michelins 15" 235-75 tires that were nearly new to go on it so using the Durango wheels was a no brainer.
