I'll fix the thread. A day late tho since I didn't do anything today.

Yesterday I installed the intermittent wiper setup I bought from Rusty. Install process went something like this.

1) look at job and think "this aughta be easy"
2) remove horn button
3) remove 17mm retaining nut for steering wheel.
4) wiggle, wiggle, plull, pull, hit, smash myself in the face with the steering wheel.
5) throw steering wheel, check for blood
6) remove plastics from steering column
7) notice that the reason my ignition is out of place looking is the fact that it is actually out of place, both bolts backed them selves out about 1/4 of the way
8) remove old wiper arm assembly
9) remove ignition
10) use my dremel to make slots in the ignition bolts so I can tighten them back up with a screw driver
23) go back inside and play Borderlands


I did those exact same things, though I was going to take out my rear window when the steering wheel came off. My ignition did the same thing so I put a notch in the bolts too.....then borderlands >_>

found a perfect tailgate for my truck with a bedliner protecto-thingy on it, $55! It's the metallic charcoal gray and my truck is the bright silver, but at least it's not red or tan!! Going back Monday for the front upper control arms/hubs/rotors from a 2g monty, since uncle Sam generously returned a healthy chunk of what he took from me last year. :evil:

started the ram up after hours of charging the pretty much dead battery. found fluid goin everywhere that was green. first thought. engine coolant. found no leaks from engine coolant. looked on the ground some disgusting milky mixture that you get when you mix coolant and oil. found out that i put a hole about the size of a quarter and a crack about 7in. long. all because somehow one of the balance shaft screws was sticking out about a quarter of an inch. ugh now to take it all apart and send the damn thing off to welding.
