I always thought the driver’s seat should be centered in the cab anyway...

Right and left are for sissies anyway.

Real men use actual directions.

"I need a caliper for the north west side of my truck
Is that the North West, or the North by North West side?

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
When I tore apart my front end to install the lift kit, I took a silver marker and labeled the sway bar ends port and starboard so I would put it back right.

But did you also put it back together left?

I though North by North West was a movie???
I thought that was when Kim and Kanye's kid names a kid after herself.

Yes. But now I'm considering removing it altogether.

By the way,... i drove this mess 2 1/2 hours home yesterday. No rear sway bar. No problems. Even got up to 80 mph for a few seconds during my brief time on the interstate.

Never drove so far with my accelerator nailed continuously to the floor. I gotta replace my 3. Slow.

Well around here if we haven't started an argument that nobody knows what it is about then it must have been an easy question and we are seeing how far and how fast we can drag the thread away from the original topic.

mission accomplished?

Steering was normal. There was weight on the front. The front of the bed had a bunch of copper wire. Plus there were 3 big cans of diesel in the bed. Weight distribution wasn't too bad.

The way modern thought processes work most would say you need a modern turbodiesel to move that kind of weight :rolleyes:

I'm open to a bunch of possibilities. 4bt, TDI, OM617, 5.0L, LS, The newish diesel in the Colorado, I don't know.
It's all going to boil down to price and availability when I do it.

Is this your place? I'd love to have a small house with the ampacity to run a 10,000 square foot shop! Those electric panels are a little overkill?

And to carry on with nothing to do with the thread....How about old style gas generator to fuel your engine...generator that use wood for gasification..? It was pretty common between the WW1 and WW2. I want to put one in my truck and enter the 24HOL [24 Hour Of Lemons].
