Strange electrical problem
We had some pretty heavy rain here in the Mojave today. Some water must have seeped in somewhere because my horn came on all on its own - was probably stuck on for nearly 15 minute - my neighbors must love me! I had to pull the negative battery cable to get it to stop. I guess I'll let things...- Mojave Red

Go out to my truck this morning - she starts rough and the idle is all over the place.

New PRND - thanks to Towcat
I finally installed the PRND that Calvin (Towcat) brought by a couple of weeks ago. Sure enough, the little cable had snapped on the old one. The R&R was pretty straight forward and didn't take long. I used the opportunity to clean out some of the crap that had accumulated behind the gauge...- Mojave Red

Front springs DONE! Gained 2 1/2 inches
All Finally had my front springs done today. I gained 2 ½ inches over where it was before – and it looks really cool. Besides the factory springs being weak, all my bushings were beat to hell. The spring shop added a leaf to each front spring and installed a complete polyurethane bushing kit...- Mojave Red

Finally addressing sagging front springs
After listening to your suggestions and talking to countless 4x4 and parts shops, I've finally made the decision to go with a set of re-arched springs. It's going to cost me $375 - and that's with me dropping my truck off in the morning and picking it up completed in the afternoon. The guy at...- Mojave Red
