Mark Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Just picked it up...literally a one-hour job. Apparently there was a redesign towards the end of the '97-'04 generation truck, and the shop manual wasn't updated. It's nice to open and close the door without it sounding like someone cracking their knuckles. Now, to get the CD player straightened out, and get some tunes back...

Glad to hear the hinge replacement didn't require disassembling the entire vehicle. An occasional shot of EP 'moly' grease should prolong the life of the new one.

Mark Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 So...those of us who drive manual gearboxes ought to get a break on our insurance rates, right? Don't get me started on insurance companies... Next time you check out an insurance company's website, check their vehicle listings and how they come up with rates for the various types of coverage. Nearly all will be "above average" for collision coverage. How can you determine an average when everything is above average? Smaller vehicles are more costly because they are likely to receive more damage in an accident. Larger vehicles are more expensive because they are likely to inflict more damage on other vehicles in an accident. If you have been involved in an accident recently, your premiums go up. But if you haven't been in an accident, your premiums still go up because you might be more likely to be in one in the future... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
