    Wouldn't you like to know!
    Bummer man hopefully they can get it squared away, DT does have a good policy at least towards that aspect so they will probably do it no questions asked. They replaced a set for me due to the same issue when I had 5-6k miles on the tires already.

    Well, this would be the second replacement, the Coopers were the first. I'm having 4WP do all their work before I go to the final step of replacing the tires, but it is possible that the second set of rims damaged the tires in the time they were on.

    If Google Fiber would stop taking a trenching tool to my sprinkler lines when they install my NEIGHBOR'S lines I would be so happy.

    This makes cut #3.

    Fuck them.

    Sending them a $300 bill.

    6 months apart. They "patch" afterward that blows out after a month. Just had the flexible line replaced with PVC - if they cut that I'm cutting fibers.

    Told them to trench 30 feet to the right (in the neighbor's property) or KXAN is getting all 15 emails, texts, and copies of the repair invoices.

    It’s all fixed (so they say). The sprinkler guy comes back tomorrow to do the pressure test, so let’s see.

    KXAN doesn't give two shits about you. In order for you to get coverage, you'll have to put on a dress and claim you are transitioning, or here in the country illegally and demanding your rights, or...

    Probably way too late but I recently had some new methods installed and was actually turned down by Firestone because they didn’t want to scratch them. They referred me to Texas Tires in Round rock.
    I’ll be honest, driving by, it looks like a place I probably wouldn’t stop at. But they were great. Had me in and out quick, no damage, and even helped out when my tpms sensors weren’t reconnecting to the truck at no charge. And they’re open on Sunday when most places are closed.

    Yeah, I'm not ever going back to DT, no matter the location. I can't say enough good things about the manager, Sid Bergeron, but the numbnuts that work in the shop there are what you would expect. 4WP did the DSI conversion on my Tundy before I bought it, and my mechanic there is named Bubba and has been there for 25 years, so I should be good with him finding the issue, if there is one with the truck. He did manage to not put any of the stem caps back on when he installed the new rims, but he can do that when I go back in on Monday. And I'll make sure they are one when I leave...

    Nice. I just got a RT-590 recently. Haven't done turkey on it yet but this is how I plan to do it as well.

    My buddy in Minnesota just ordered a 590, should get it in a week or so.

    The turkey on the left and the chicken were for our neighbors, and the turkey on the right is ours. The neighbor said his wife was freaking out when I said I'd be putting them on at 11a, with a 1:30p sitdown for dinner. They hit the smoker at 11:09a, and were done at 12:23p...

    If you don't know about dry brining, look into that. It really seals the skin, and keeps the keeps the bird juicy as :censored:.
