    Coming soon to a place near you...

    I'm not a gun nut or a prepper, I've just lived on this earth long enough and seen enough wars to know it is time to get our heads out of the sand or wherever they are and be aware of what's happening. 3 days ago (November 11), Sct'y of State Kerry told us that ISIS is now contained because we...

    Allison Tranny Flush

    I cringe when people say the Iffy Lube monnkey told them they "need' a tranny flush. If it's not done right (and it seldom is), it can do more harm than good to your trans. Do what Mike said and you will be OK... and save yourself money and grief too.

    went to the Dr.

    Lowest bidder isn't always the most cost effective. Take it to Mike and get it done right the first time. Doesn't pay to have someone practice on your Allison.

    New from Ohio

    Welcome! Good choice for a truck. As mentioned, fluid changes, fix the LLY turbo mouthpiece and put some miles on it to see what you have. EGT gauge is a must, especially if you are going to tow. Don't waste your time with the "canned tuner of the month", if you're going to do performance...

    BlueCross BlueShield

    You can blame Obamacare and the idiots who made it happen for your rising health insurance costs. The insurance companies that haven't been put out of business don't mind being able to raise their rates because of it

Buyer paid for the ride so I don't...

    Truck was broken into last night

    I think the amplifier idea supposedly works on new cars with the push button start where you only have to have the FOB on your person. I have heard that Toyotas are particularly vulnerable to the amplifier scheme for some reason, but the FOB has to be something like within 50 feet of the...

    Wife learned the the hard way but driving with a heavy foot in the rain

    I switch my DSP5 switch to "wife" mode when she or my granddaughter drive the truck, especially when it's raining. So far, they have never asked what that little switch is for....

    Will a 2007.5 CCLB driveline fit a '04.5 CCLB?

    I found an almost new (less than 1K miles) OEM dealer driveshaft from a 2007.5 CCLB, thinking about buying it for a spare. The price is less than the cost of replacing the center bearing and mine is getting close to needing to be replaced. Is this a bolt-in or do I have to change "U" joints to...

    GMC vs Chevy

    The Cadillac/Buick dealership sells the GMC as a "gentleman's truck" The Chevrolet dealership sells "Chevy work trucks". Neither place has a clue as to how to repair them. Mechanically, they are the same truck. People who say a GMC is a Chevy are just trying to yank your chain....

    No start after a dose of bad fuel!!!

    Almost sounds like gas mixed with diesel. I would save your fuel receipt, if the fuel station screwed up, they should be liable.
