Somethings wrong with my front axle/4x4

Last fall I was cruising along at highway speeds and this horribly loud noise started coming from my front axle on the passenger side. It was to the point where I couldn't hear myself stop. My light showed I was in 2 wheel drive, but I have reason to believe the truck was trying to go into 4 wheel d...

Driver side heated seat quit working

This started last winter, but now is the time to get things fixed before this winter arrives. The driver's side heated seat doesn't work, but the passenger does.

Ranchos stiff?? Hardly...if people think they are too stiff they need to try Koni yellows on the highest setting. There is no comparison there! These were in my old civic with Nuespeed race springs....almost too stiff for a daily driver. Girls hated how it rode, but it handled really well!!

New shocks, new shackles....time for TB crank?

I think I should do a mild TB crank to level out the front of my truck a bit. How soon afterwards would I have to do an alignment? I am looking for an inch to an inch and a half. One more question.....does the truck have to be off the ground to crank the TB or not? Let me know what you guys think......
