Replace your belts people!

Still amazed that some shops want, and seem to get, $200+ to change these belts.

$200+?!

$50 for belts, 3/8 wrench, 15mm socket, 10min of your time.

10-4

A local shop gave my truck a once-over while doing other work, then quoted me $210 to supply & install new belts. I laughed out loud, bought both belts from RockAuto.com for under $45, then installed them myself in 10 minutes.

How's your shocks on your lift gate if you open manually? To test, turn your rocker switch off on the over head consol.

I'm pretty ******* manly and strong, so the shocks don't seem to have much resistance. I don't know what's normal. I plan on replacing them anyways. If that don't fix it then I'll eBay a new actuator.

I know my lift gate wouldn't open when the shocks were bad. But mine wasn't making the same sounds yours is.

New struts in. Gate still grinds a tad but at least now functions!

Temp tags expire tomorrow. I got the title today. The whole getting title from the dealer has been a ******* ordeal. This dealer mainly finances cheap cars so never really has to have a title ready for a cash buyer.

Still it took a whole goddamn month.

I've heard of some folks not getting their title for MONTHS by dealing with dealers like that. I never buy a used vehicle without walking away with a title at the same time just because of that but glad that you got yours just in the nick of time.
