Hurt like hell, but man I could sure breathe great! Left a heck of a goose egg as well.

Got my u-joints replaced today, no more ridiculous noises. And who knew they needed needle bearings to work, haha. All mine had was a fine dust, crazy.
Very cool. I like it.
Does that replace the entire top piece?

Is that the Eagle Eyes one?
Before you put it on, can you look on the inside that goes towards the glass and see how the actual red LED part is attached to the housing, and if it looks like it might be a bit adjustable?
Mine hangs down a bit on the passenger side and I didn't really look at it good enough before I installed it to see if it could be adjusted.
you can take it off and probably adjust it from the backIs that the Eagle Eyes one?

Drive in M2-3 and you will not slip or will be minimal..
never had a issue being in M gear in snow
Now in drive(D) i slid out the rear end going a few mph the rear was still going straight after i all ready i made my turn...
NEED a LARGE amount of Torque while in slushy snow
and you can only get that a low gear M2-3 with V8 ONLY... yes your MPG might suffer but it's cheaper then damaging something few more $$ in gas is cheaper then spending $3,000 in repairs..
plus you get the added bonus of engine braking in the snow i could pretty much stop with the engine braking alone from 35mph

I had the spark plugs and wired replaced by the dealer. $500. They recommended a coolant flush and replace all the hoses for $1200. The $500 for the plugs and wires was high but at actually laughed at the coolant/hose price!
Holy crap $500 for plugs and wires? AC Delco parts would be about $125 and it takes all of a half hour to change them so what exactly did they charge for labor?

It’s actually my ‘02 2500HD reg cab plow truck. It’s a warning to all of us of the nasty effects of rust. I only had to deal with one snapped bolt too; welded a nut on the exposed stud.
While I was in there I did the wires (Auto Value’s brand) and ACDelco Rapidfire plugs for $35+22 = $57.
I can’t believe the dealer charged that guy here $500. I’m curious to what else they did. New coils too?

$306 labor, $95.20 plugs and $144.55 wires. My back doesn't let me do it myself anymore.
That’s outrageous. Dealer labor is what: $120/hr? That’s 2.5 hours to swap plugs and wires?!?

I know, and it still stings accepting the reality of not doing most of my own maintenance anymore.
That’s why you shouldn’t go to a dealer for maintenance. An independent shop would have been 1/3 that and it’s not something that’s hard to do so pretty much any shop would do.

I thought that too, but in this town the independent's are higher. I got gouged for $1400 for rear Arnott's by a local. It was covered under warranty so I didn't care much.

Hemet used to be a retirement town and I think the local independent tech's are taking advantage.
Did you call around for quotes?

Yes, not many good options in this town. It's circling the drain.

On my GMT800 pickup I had to pull the tires (0.1 hours) wheel well liners (0.2 hours) and then I had full access to the wires and plugs (0.5 hours). So 1.1 hours actual for R&R of just the plugs. I’m curious what the official Mitchell book time is. Maybe add in 0.2 hours for a mandatory safety inspection as it is a licensed dealer. So 1.3 x $120 = $156.
The parts price doesn’t seem too out of line but the labor fee is ridiculous.
