Ski has seen me several times at Numidia over the past 7-10 years and maybe briefly he said hello once otherwise he has never spoken to me no mind posed a threat to me! That said, he was never around long, losing early and his car doesn’t/didn’t work well

Says the 160 lb soaking wet, 60 year old geezer too old to race his own cars.

If someone were to plow you, you'd call the police, then your attorney in that order.

Quoted for truth. He’s even said before how he’d call his lawyer if someone touched him. The big talk about assaulting people is relatively new. We’ll see what next year brings.

I spent the afternoon working on my rusty ass 2007 GMC

Installing all new parking brake parts and rear shocks along with boogger welding in a new upper shock mount on the driver upper side to what little was left of the spare tire crossmember

NJ winters and brine spray wreaks havoc on these poor trucks...

Every part I Installed came from Rock Auto and has been laying in boxes for 8 months waiting for me to install them

Whoever designed these parking brakes needs a beating !! On a 2500 series truck you have to pull the axle and the hub to get at this stuff. It's not a new design and was used on Corvettes from their first years with disc brakes....maybe other cars too but I can't recall.

I only got one side done and have to do the "good side" tomorrow or maybe another day.....

RUST never sleeps and it doesn't care where your parts came from or how much you paid for them.....

I was gonna buy a new truck but this old one still runs, drives like new regardless of the rusty rear frame under the bed.....

The fuel lines, brake lines and trans cooler lines I've replaced all came from sources other than the dealer

I did replace a trans cooler line that was "weeping" with a GM supplied supposed "upgraded" line and after a few months it BLEW the f'ck out right at the crimp from metal to rubber...

My Allison trans dumped most of the TranSynd fluid that was not very old all over the ground and I towed my truck to my shop to fix it...

I cut all the original trans cooler lines apart and used the original metal sections, flared them and had a local truck shop make me rubber sections to make the connections...

The OEM lines were known to start leaking at the rubber to metal connections.....GM replacement line didn't just leak, it blew the h-e-l-l apart...It was made in Canada...

My home made lines have been on the truck for at least 5 years and NO LEAKS....GM lines were junk.

Their brakes and shocks are no better than any decent aftermarket parts..

I'm bored other wise I wouldn't ramble on about such a stupid topic.....LOL

Rich, I couldn’t disagree more about the shocks and especially the brakes and the lines on my ‘05 never rusted out or blew apart and that truck had north of 350k on it when I sold it.

Got new genuine GM rotors and pads going on all 4 corners next week. I even use genuine GM wiper blades.
