Well Thursday night my truck left me stranded for the first time. The rear U-joint failed and the driveshaft dropped out of the truck as I was driving 75mph down the highway. Yesterday I had a local driveshaft shop make up a new driveshaft for me, and I installed it today. While the truck was in the shop, I also installed a new grille. A buddy of mine had this laying around for several years, and gave it to me for free, so while the tow and the new driveshaft cost me $500, at least the truck is back up and running, and looking a little better!

Well last weekend my truck was running bad so after testing and checking a bunch of stuff when me and my dad finished tearing it apart we had the whole front of the motor off and found a broken guide on the timing chain. We replaced it today and after it was all back together the motor started ticking and knocking bad. So after 302,000 miles it's time for her to get a new motor.

Great idea in theory, however I have a regular cab short bed 2wd manual trans truck, so unless I find the exact same truck in the junkyard, it isn't going to fit, and about 90% of the trucks in the junkyard are extended cab automatic 4wd.
