    I asked him, it was a straight 6. Apparently, based on what he told me, BMW actually had/has a 6 cyl diesel US spec engine! Which was news to me!

    LCA's are a problem... OEM is what I and anyone who knows recommends. And then 37's start teasing me. Anything of value aftermarket runs $1800-$2100 Ouch. My experience with aftermarket is mixed at best. You guys know I cannot keep a shock under the truck. My TC uppers are a maintenance PIA and don't seem to last. The Dobisons up front are getting tired but have exceeded expectations. Its only money right? I think some BTF fabrication LCA's are on the event horizon... Or a rearend. Decisions decisions...

    Yikes! My brother totaled the family conversion minivan (pretty sweet GMC Safari done by Custom Craft) back when we were in high school when a spider dropped from the visor onto his hand on the steering wheel. He reacted and crashed into a parked car. Right in front of the police station. He was driving to try to convince his girlfriend not to break up with him. She did anyway. Cold. He wasn't injured, but it was a bad night for him.

    Ugh. 5:30 and it's already 80°F

    I was going to go fishing.
    Flunk that.
    Went last night, more or less just to take some casts with the new reel and exercise the line.....

    It reels so smooth I can barely feel the jighead. Though the Quantum treated me well, I've been depriving myself. :D

    You wouldn't want the tires to get flat spots. :stirthepot:

    Progressive rate, or digressive? Is your tailgate going to be running deserts or forests? ;):p

    Seriously though, I’d think that the two options for something like that would be either a OE replacememt, or whatevever multibrand chinese replacement they sell at the autoparts store.
