    Thanks. Yeah the TG one doesn't have that angle to it (is just straight)....says it's for 04s but in the instructions it doesn't show that bolt being in the way, shows it being off to the side more. So there's obviously a difference in some trucks that they didn't account for; that BAMF one would work perfectly.

    I’ve been meaning to get one as well, after re-adjusting my rear brakes and noticing the difference they can make I wanna get them 100% back in the game.

    Tell em to screw off. If they don't like it then thats their problem. Your property, you do what you want.

    That's what I get for having my bed off and having neighbors that are all 70 or over.

    Anybody recommend upgraded Lower Balljoint bolts? Seems to be that these are just as prone to failure as the balljoints themselves.

    OEM Bolts: 90080-10066

    Oh I’d love to. But there’s no way I can ship that to California legally.

    Because you know, California.

    Alright so gotta dumb question... does the door switch that controls the dome light have a fuse to it? The dome light comes on when I put it in the on position but not "door" position

    I think oem are grade 10.9. You could get 12.9 but I think improper installation is why they fail.

    It won't implode immediately but your fluid will lose it's lubricating properties and then when you least expect it, it will implode

    If it turns on I doubt it's the fuse. Mine does that too, probably dirty or corroded contacts. I have to fiddle with the switch to get it to turn on in the door position. But once I get it to turn on, if i leave it in the door position it'll keep working fine. I keep mine off most of the time though.

    Holy shit you actually live in Vermont.

    Here’s my 5-lug I registered in Vermont, even though I live on the other side of the country in California. Your state is a great car registration loophole for getting a title for a car that you bought without one.

    Swapped my cluster to a unit w/ tach - just looking to find out what you guys with the 2.7 normally see for idle? Curious if mine is reading correctly, I was sitting around 500 this morning. Ebay listing claimed it was from a 4 cyl, but who knows what it really came from

    It could have been from a 2.4l 4 cyl. Perhaps that small difference in engine displacement could be causing your issue.

    Give me 5 minutes I’ll go start my truck and report back.
