Man....when is enough-enough
#1
Well, I had to replace the starter on the dodge diesel! Just when I paid out $550 for the clutch and other stuff...I fork out another $247...$50 is a core. I will be getting that back tomorrow!!!


But, the good news is...it spins over so much faster and fires right up.

Yes, I have been there. Most of my tow rigs ended up with way more upgrades than they realy needed. Thats why when I started this crew cab project I decided to keep it mostly stock. It may not wow people with tire burining power or be four wheel drive. But its realy supposed to be a nice driving truck. For me that will mean stock and easy too run. Just enoug upgrades to haul anything but still run regular, and take me there in comfert. I will probably put bigger tires for that pre runner look, and that will give it a higher highway speed. Fuel is just too high for much more than that. Probably will splurge for a good radio(sat?), speakers, I have 10 disk for it. Right now I would be happy if it even ran :oops:
