    Vent visors

    I'm wanting to get some installed on my truck, but I think I'm going to have mine sprayed and color-matched. I like the dark ones too, but I REALLY like the look of the painted ones over the window (not in-channel). I think it gives the truck a "meaner" or "chopped-top" look.... not to mention...

    Hope it gets better than this!

    Hey Broondog, I feel your pain. I had the same reaction right after I bought mine. I was getting 12mpg with my F250 on a GOOD day, and to make matters worse- two months after I bought it- diesel went to $5 per gallon. Needless to say, I was making payments on a yard ornament for a few months...

    At least it doesn't leak!

    Hey Smoky- You wouldn't think so, but you'd be surprised like I was! It was actually in Brandon! Some well dressed middle-aged woman was driving it like there was nothing out of the ordinary. :lmao Oh and Powerboatr- we do have state vehicle inspections here, but most places only check to see...

    At least it doesn't leak!

    I saw this yesterday in the Wal-Mart parking lot (where else?). Why would you EVER consider getting your door fixed at a body shop, or buy some new rubber seals, or at the very least buy some duct tape and plastic, when you could just as easily buy a $5 can of "Great Stuff" and do it yourself...

    Weird noise in the dash on left side??

    Trevor- I've had the same problem with mine for a long time. Mine sounds like what you describe, but mine has a "clicking" sound also. The only way I can explain it is- it sounds just like there's a computer hard drive crunching away like crazy between the radio and glove box. There's no...

    Question Exhaust Smell in Cab

    I had the same symptoms just a month or two ago... The truck ran fine- absolutely NO performance issues at all. It was cold outside, so every morning when I'd turn the heater/defroster on, I could smell exhaust fumes really strong. As soon as I'd start moving the smell would go away- come to...

    getting the truck repainted. need some ideas

    Armchair Paint & Body Work Ok, I had a few minutes to play around with some photo editing software so I came up with some examples of what your truck might look like with some new paint. It's so much easier to decide when you can actually SEE what the finished product will be! :sweet (Nice...

    Monster diesel additive

    Sounds kinda fishy to me. First, the only endorsement is from the OCC group, which in my opinion did more harm than good (watch the 30 sec video - Paul Sr. should never be allowed to speak publicly again, bless his heart!). Second, it hasn't been picked up by any parts suppliers- basically...

    Another one that makes you wonder what they were thinking!

    Looks like it was possibly made by the same manufacturer that brought us the Griswold's "Family Truckster"?

    Check out this F150... Um... Peterbilt??

    Yeah Smoky, I agree... I think the late Frank Melton (former mayor) had the right idea, but unfortunately the days of John Wayne are long gone. They complain about how the city is in such bad shape, but when you try to demolish all the crack houses and exterminate the roaches, they file...

    Check out this F150... Um... Peterbilt??

    Yeah, no need to upset her... and who knows- she might find a nice little place and not have any problems! As far as the "mean marksman"... we need more of those around here! :innocent :sweet Friday afternoon I went by my old house in Jackson to find that the neighborhood thugs that live...

    Check out this F150... Um... Peterbilt??

    Bad Night- tell your sister not to get her hopes up too much... I don't think there's much (if any) improvement over Atlanta. High crime rates, terrible roads, outrageous vehicle tags and property taxes, etc., etc.... other than that it's just "Peachy"! (Sorry, couldn't resist the Atlanta peach...

    Check out this F150... Um... Peterbilt??

    Hey Smoky- I *think* the water is back on for most of the city, although I think there are still boil-water-notices in some areas. Thank goodness I don't actually live in Jackson anymore- I'm still only about 15 min away, and I don't work in Jackson either... It's been a mess! For those of...

    Check out this F150... Um... Peterbilt??

    Some of you might remember some pics that I posted a while back of a Chevy Astro van that was hacked up and turned into a "pseudo-truck". Well, here's another one that I just have to share (parked in the same parking lot as well). Here we have an F150 that thinks it's a Peterbilt... complete...

    Exhaust smell in cab when idling?

    Ding Ding Ding! wpfd571 is the winner! (no less thanks to everyone else that chimed in!). :sweet I took it by the dealer this morning. They looked at it, listened to it, had a mechanic come out and glance at it in the parking lot... then the service mgr reached up and tightened the oil fill...

    Exhaust smell in cab when idling?

    Took the truck to the dealer last week for scheduled oil change. Everything was fine until I noticed a really strong diesel exhaust smell coming through the heater vents. Only smells when sitting still idling.... and it's not the regular exhaust smell that normally comes from the tail pipe of a...

    Question Sub woofer enclosure

    JL Audio has some really nice "stealth" enclosures that keep it looking stock, but they've also got some really nice price tags too! I found another company that has some nice boxes that look like they're well made, and provide a few more options for box placement and sub sizes. Check...

    F250 sunroof Leaking

    Try cleaning the sunroof and all of it's components. Open it up and make sure that you clean all of the dust and dirt off of the mating surfaces. I used to use just a dab of vaseline on the rubber seals to keep them soft and pliable. If they get dry and/or dusty, it won't make a good seal and...

    Pistol brand recommendations?

    Let me tell ya... I have learned so much over the last few days of poking around the handgun world. I've been overwhelmed, amazed, and confused (sometimes all at the same time!). I really like the idea of a bare-bones utilitarian pistol that's very affordable (cheap price - not cheap...

    Pistol brand recommendations?

    Thanks guys... I really appreciate all the comments/advice/opinions! I've done a lot of web surfing checking out all the brands you've mentioned and I'm like a dang kid in a candy store! Every one I look at is better than the one before! I've wanted a 1911 for a long time, just wanted to get...

    Pistol brand recommendations?

    No pistol snobs here! That's awesome- looked 'em up online and they offer: - .45 ACP for MSRP $186.00 - 40 S&W was $186.00 - 9mm was $155.00 - .380 was $135.00 :dizzy They may not be as "pretty" or have as many "doo-dadz", but I guess if you're just looking for a workhorse w/ a...

    Glock 30 w/ 13 round clip... Daddy Likey!! Any idea what kinda $$$ I'd be lookin' at with one of those, Yooper? (ballpark) Might have to ask Ol' St. Nick for one of those this year!

    Pistol brand recommendations?

    Thanks for the quick responses guys (knew I could count on ya!). After looking at the guns you all suggested, I really liked the XD line from Springfield and the little Bersa. I've got a few questions about both: 1.) I noticed that the XD's are made from a composite material.... I'm...

    Pistol brand recommendations?

    I'm looking into buying a pistol or two in the near future and knew that several of you guys here at SDD have a lot of knowledge in this area. I'm thinking about two different pistols: 1.) a compact semi-auto .45 acp 2.) a compact semi-auto 9 mm I'd like to have both w/ tactical-type...
