I'm starting to think about replacing my engine. I'm not very good with engines yet, but what I have now is pretty screwed over.

That's ridiculous on the price. $120? Seats here go for $29 for buckets and I got my bench with arm rest and cup holders for $10. Still cheaper than new at that price, so good find I guess.

Default Replaced alternator

replaced a bad alternator with a rebuilt 132 amp unit. Hod to use the outside 2 mounting holes in order for it to fit. Belt just barely slipped on, but all is well now. Battery also has a bad cell and wont hold a charge, swapped in a spare Optima and was back on the road again.

yeah I wish i could have gotten them cheaper. But living in central IL sucks . anyway got them in today very comfortable but the driverside lumbar support bladder is poped . hopefully i can fix it or find a replacement. Any one here ever repaired one before?

Hell I would pay $250+ for a nice set of 40/20/40 seats to put in the rear.

I guess our salvage yards are much cheaper around here. I'd pay that for a set at the yard that strips the truck themselves and has the seats stored and sold inside. Our U-Pull It's are so much cheaper though.
