I need a new truck badly. I just spent close to $500 tonight on my Dakota at Summit Racing for a new radiator, dual electric fans, water wetter, and all new u-joints for both driveshafts. U-joints are shot and truck keeps overheating. Radiator is on its last legs after 240K miles on a 318-V8.

I used the turtle wax ice last year, it looked good at the start but the shine didn't seem to last beyond the first wash. On the bright side it is really easy to use, and there is no white crap along the edges of moldings etc.
On a related note, has anyone tried the turtle wax ice clay bar product? I've thought about buying some and trying it out.

Mine haven't budged with the glue dots for like 4 months since I got them.
Hood, upper rad support, passenger headlight, grille, Apex air diverter plate and front bumper cover are gone. The grille is literally in about 10 pieces, the rad is pushed back about 4 in. but looks mostly undamaged (the brackets are ****** though), the passenger headlight is shattered, the hood is pushed in and up and the bumper cover is scratched and cracked in more places I can mention. All the turbo/IC stuff looks to be ok - my slim A/C fan is still connected to the radiator and stiff spins just fine. The only thing I'm worried about is the main fan which is currently squished between the rad and some IC pipe. Other possible things damaged are the bumper support (likely), the driver's headlight and the front subframe/motor mount area.SATimko said:
Fortunately most of the damage is cosmetic because I actually went under the car in front of me (yeah, my fault) so it missed my IC (from what I can tell) and all the turbo stuff. Nothing was leaking or melted so none of the hoses reptured and my rad is still intact. I have pics on my phone but it is charging because it died from all the picture-taking and phone calling I was doing. I will have a thread up when I get everything straight.

are you f-ing kidding?! that sucks! p5 curse strikes again!!! ARRRGGGGGHHHHH (dark)
quick question. inside the little felt case that the tire iron is in, there is a long bolt, maybe 5 in or so. does anyone else have one of these in theirs? if so what is it for? the car jack? it looks like it could be another bolt for the front mount, but i doubt it. just curious, i have a floor jack b/c i hate the jack that cars come w/
lol. yea idk what it's for. do we have a trans filter? i thought we didn't but this thread makes it sound like we do....
