    Thinking of moving to Florida in the next year

    Sounds like miserable Illinois. Chicago and Springfield themselves are blue, most of the rest of 100 counties aren't. How 2 counties can out rule the other 100, has always baffled me. Look at the geographic size of Chicago especially compared to the size of the whole state. Even if you add in...

    Ebay water pump does $1000 in damage.

    Same can be said about Napa parts. "Napa" doesn't manufacture any parts.

    Ebay water pump does $1000 in damage.

    That trans that lasted 3 months was a junkyard find that for all the world looked like a fresh rebuilt, which was why I got it. It had been under my bench for 3-4 years after I got it, and I put it in back in July last year and it died in October. I am just now getting to put the rebuilt...

    Ebay water pump does $1000 in damage.

    I've had 6 Dakota's and 2 Durangos, only the most recent Durango has a ".7" engine (4.7) and I haven't had that one very long. plus a "1500" with a magnum and wouldn't say cooling system was an issue on any of them. My biggest issue with radiators seems to be caused by Bambi. I'm replacing...

    Ebay water pump does $1000 in damage.

    Wow 7.... I've never put more than 2 on any of my magnum engines. What kind of pumps are you using? And when I put the 2nd one on it was because I had to be taking it off for something else anyway and replaced it only because I had it off. The op seems to be about a newer engine he says...

    Disowning Family Members

    Wow oh wow. I drive past that place daily. At least once, sometimes twice depending on which way I go. Sad to hear. I have heard the team "I disowned (someone)" many times, I thought that was just a way of say I don't talk to them no more, want nothing to do with them, didn't know there was...

    Are you a Mopar purist?

    I remember a certain 69 F250 that my brother was so pissed off at its 390, that he seriously considered a 318/727..... before there was a way to turn a 318 into a 390... Luckily (for the truck) a guy I knew totaled out a 69 galaxie that happened to have had a good running 390 in it.... that I...

    Trying to summon the motivation

    Yeah I used to be the guy who went to my buddy's house and asked where they were at on whatever project they were working on. Id get looking at it and before we knew it we were all working on their stuff. I've never had that luxury to have others do the same over here. I mean sometimes it would...

    45 bucks for wiper blades?

    I have 2 Durangos that take the same ones as each other. I just got a pile of them from rock auto. Several years ago when I had my wrangler I had one break on my way home and had to stop at the first place that should have them. Ended up at an o'wrongleys and paid $28 for the only 13" blades...

    Again so many I've never heard of... Currently sitting in my truck, listening to Sirius classic vinyl. "No sugar tonight" by the Guess Who just ended "A whiter shade of pale" by procul harum playing now.... Now (I hope/ would like to hear) something like "Dear Mr Fantasy" by Traffic or even...

    That's why I have a project of an 85 d150 with a slant 6 of all things ... When they hit that red button and immobilizes everything else I can drive on by Adding "factory AC" to it and doing some body work to it... Waiting for my buddy's dad to sell his 95 Dodge B250 van, 1 owner, never out of...

    Minivan Time fellas

    We're in a car seat situation too (grand kids one is 3, his sister is 1-1/2. The trans died in the 01 Durango at 314k and we needed something bigger than reg cab pickup trucks in case we needed to haul both of them, we've done 1 or the other in my truck. I wish my 96 Dakota cab and a half had...

    I dropped of another kitty to get fixed today.

    I have 2 cats, both getting old, both males. The one wanted nothing to do with me for years, but now lays and sleeps with me everywhere I go within the house. He pisses off my wife because of that. I have taken to sleeping in my sons old room because I get up too many times, and earlier than...

    Questions regarding Sirius XM.

    Definitely worthwhile. If only for the lack of commercials and channels that don't play guns n roses and/or def Leppard every 3rd song... 2 bands I cannot stand. But I also don't like country, which in BFE where I work that's my choices. I love classic vinyl channel. That and classic rewind...

When I had my last phone I tried one of the ad blockers, no, 2..... One was duck duck go, I forget the name of the other one. It was great for a...

    I tried, but I just can't take the commercials anymore!

    And 4-5 minutes of nothing but commercial after commercial. No they can't just run 1 or 2 and "back to regular scheduled programming". That more than anything is the most aggravating part. And (we have dish network at the moment) the ridiculous amount we pay for cable in any month pretty much...

    I tried, but I just can't take the commercials anymore!

    yup.... I could do without them broadcasting hours of Mecum auctions in and of itself..... but any channel you watch... I thought that was the whole damn reason we pay so much for cable and/or satellite TV exactly so there WERENT any freaking commercials Even reruns of 70s TV are now an hour...

    MoparStyle.com Shutting Down

    Mopar style went *poof* all of a sudden a few years ago, don't remember exactly when but I occasionally do a Google search for it hoping to find some of the old tech. So far no dice. I used to be on there alot.
