    I wanted to make a joke about needing another NCAA investigation, but at least the Rangers aren't as bad as the Astros. Y'all have that going for them

    Well went crawling around under my truck again. Tie rods have no play, no noticeable play in the steering rack, although the u joint does seem rusty.

    Bad news is I found this....

    Passenger side motor mount...

    Good thing I go to school with lots of welders!

    Not sure how common that is but you are the first 05+ I have seen do that and not be jumping in the dessert.

    My truck had it under the previous owner. You might want to reconsider letting your buddies weld it back up.

    My buddies wouldn't be doing it. I would see if I could pay my welding teacher to do it.

    The early 05s were the worst. In mid 07 they fixed the issue by welding a steel plate in between that area

    Because I've been to class 4 times. I don't trust myself welding on something structurally integral to my to truck. Lol

    Blake doesn't mind fixing cracks in his frame, and they hold up great. Oh wait... :D

    Not long. The only thing I've actually done is laid down a bead on a solid plate. No joints
