Cried at you....lol, by the looks it was screaming(grinding) at you. sometimes it pays to drive with the radio off for a few miles.

Just a tip, Do maintenance checks twice a year on you truck. spring and fall are good times, mainly cause it's warm out. You get to know your truck better and can visually see how long your pads are lasting and other parts too. Plus it's give you a better performing vehicle and safer too, and saves you money in the long run.

Do yourself a favor and check out your gas tank straps, they seems to be rusting out on our trucks. Support the tank with a jack and a piece of plywood when checking in case they are almost rusted through!

Merry Christmas!

Yeah, I usually have my music on low or off, the silence of my truck is a much better sound.

And thanks again, I haven't gotten a manual yet because my parents wanted to get me more stuff for Christmas, so as soon as I open **** I'll look straight for that. Think my dad got me a chilton though, if that's the case I'll buy a haynes anyways just to get different information, and along with the forums I'm set.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Cool, Chilton's may be just as good, my local Advance Auto doesn't carry them, so I only know Haynes. But if you get both let me know which one is better, I just might have to get one too. More info is always good.
You will be posting and helping others soon!

Yeah definitely, that'd be cool to help. But regarding comparison, if noone already gives their opinion, like on this thread, I'll be sure to send you a pm or something!

Will probably buy one next time I need to buy something.
