I spent a lot of money on a rack one time.
 
The rack I bought for my truck was much less expensive and much more accessible than the other rack I've purchased.
 
Broke a bolt when replacing my front sway bar bushings, so I had to remove the sway bar while I was fixing it.......now, it drives so much better, I think I may leave it off!

My 80 is minus both the front and rear sway bars. Does fine everywhere except for the waterworks curves, and I'm sure that an emergency maneuver at relatively high speed would put it on its side (not that you'd be able to notice the results of such an incident).
 
No and that would have paid a lot better than the elementary Ed degree she got. She can issue a visitation pass to whoever she wants. As long as I get a few dollars off the visit I'm good with it!
 
Thanks for giving her my birthday present this morning!
 
Check in the mail? Lol
 
I've had a few issues the past month or so with a very week start when it's cold. Tested the battery, and it's always been at 14v. Even took it to Sears...tested it OK.

This morning, after sitting for 3 days, it BARELY cranked. Battery shows 14v.

Has to be the battery though right? Would the starter or anything else be affected by the cold??

Battery.
 
This is gonna be a pain in the ass to get handled at Sears. Ugh.


Nahhh. Sears will put it on a charger that also tests. Fairly painless. I'm not convinced it's the battery but you will find out soon.

Good luck.

That's the problem. Sears has already tested it clean. My tests show it clean.

It's a $300 platinum battery. But it barely turns the starter when cold...

Don't know if I can convince them that 'weak start' warrants a replacement. We shall see.

I would be willing to bet that it is your starter requiring more amps than normal to crank. I had this exact issue in a 4 runner. I had 4 wheel parts replace the optima red top and then two weeks later it required a jump to get started even with the new battery. Replaced the starter and all was good.

Good Luck.

Requiring more amps than normal due to cold temps?

Yes. For a while it would start with a jump start, then one day bam Nada. Even with a jump.
