    Maybe, looks pretty involved on both but a lot easier to make room on a v6

    I dont have the code number, but yeah I saw that it was on a bracket, just didn't know exactly where. I probably wont have time to change it for a while just wanted to get it checked before I left town for a bit

    I don't drink coffee, but I do coffee runs for work sometimes. I got my coworkers to finally write down there chemistry concoctions for me. I hate Starbucks for that reason though, "welcome to Starbucks...." Here's the list of what I need.

    AZ must have like some sort of ban against small coffee shops and stands. I use to love going to random little ones but around here we have Dutch Bros, Starbucks (consistent yes, bitter AF also yes), that's it. There is on little stand that I know of and it is great but it has no drive thru and is always packed full.

    I guess, I wouldn't know lol. I can see you packing a big can of coffee for camping or when Monte breaks down. Or would that be a bottle of Jack lol. "Ugh not again"

    I've done two of these and had to use a chisel between the dust shield and bearing assembly. It's a pain in the ass and leaves the shield looking like shit but it eventually starts coming off.

    Yes I did, just before RT. Checked them after the trip and had a small amount of play in them. Nothing I was concerned about just yet but they will probably be replaced before they hit 10k

    So am I seeing that others are having premature wear from lbjs ordered from Camelback? Do OEM parts come with a warranty?

    Yeah I can't remember what site it was that I was on yesterday, but the same OEM Kings 2.5 coilovers (non resi) that I got for my truck 8 months ago were about $150 more than what I paid then.

    So the squealing belt on my truck was awful today. Hopefully I can find a new tensioner bolt tomorrow at the junkyard. I'm still confused on how it even fell out.

    If it's a wave washer I'm no help, if it is a copper washer alot of hardware stores carry them.
    QUOTE="m3bassman, post: 17624320, member: 49376"]That's the worisome part. It won't just come out. It's in there solid. An hour of tinkering with it let to nothing.



    Slide hammer is next option.[/QUOTE]

    Probably got so hot being a grinding bowl the inner race welded itself to the hub/spindle. Then you cut heat freeze it and get the race out. Only to find the surface is so galled up a new race just falls right out....

    Well I hope not at least, time vs cost and avalibility right. Best of luck man!

    I think that's a good recommendation. I use a Canon 80D, but mostly because I got a good deal on it. Up until several months ago, I shot solely with a Google Pixel phone. My recommendation before even a Rebel would be to practice composition with what you have. If you find you like it, then go for a Rebel.

    Also - a DSLR is a lot like a truck - once you buy it, then there are lenses, software, etc. It gets pricey. Right now I want a wide angle lens.
