    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    None of the AZ around here had them and there aren't many O'Reilly's near me. Was only $18 at Napa

    Oreilly isn't worth shopping at unless you look for coupons/specials on what you want to buy. Prices are higher than pretty much anywhere else.

    Think I figured out the clunk. Two of the cap clamps were a little loose. :bananadead: Either that or it was a combination of the clamps and the leaf spring clip bolts. Still going to replace those shackles and will give @Speedytech7's suggestion of 30ftlbs per side a try.

    Also I hit a clean spot. Well, cleaner than the other side at least. Too windy to finish. Caught a couple of face sprays of Simple Green.

    I'm telling ya, pull those clamp bolts out and just bend the clamp verticals out just a bit. Those things are just noisy flex limiters

    You're absolutely right; my biggest issue though is time....and not being able to take any off.

    We're running only 1 sales manager, and 1 finance manager (me).

    Other finance manager quit in November and the other sales manager quit just 2 weeks ago.

    @cruiserguy

    What general area were you thinking?

    Only thing I'm familiar with would be Texas....outside of CA that is.

    Well I guess not being able to take time off is as good as any reason to quit haha.

    So the other finance guy was here 4 years?

    The sales manager was here 2 years?

    We all covered each other if someone wanted to take a vacation.

    One guy left cause he was promised more money and the other because it was closer to home with less hours.

    Now that we're 2 short, we're trying to run just as many deals but that also means our workload has doubled.

    This is the kind of stuff though that I would hope employers would look at; been here 8 years and I've been in this situation where I tough it out with the store and it works out in the end. Working more hours, doing more work, working, and still getting paid the same since I'm salary mainly.

    We'll see though

    Is Tucson the better area?

    I always mix it all up between that, Phoenix, Yuma, and Scottsdale

    Tucson is way better than Phoenix. Scottsdale is in Phoenix and Yuma is kind of the armpit of AZ. But not too bad. I've only driven thru it going to San Diego or coming out here.
