Yeah things like that nowadays would be like you're talking about the end of the world. Oh my God you did what?!?!

Welcome to NPORA! You'll draw more attention to your question if you were to post this in the garage (in this instance), so with that goal in mind I'm moving this to that section.

mjotrainbrain volunteered to manage the Truck of the Month section 14 months ago and has done a great job handling it. Tonight I'm happy to announce that in addition to the TOTM section he has decided to become a full forum-wide Moderator as a member of the Mod Team! Please join me in welcoming him to his new position.

Odd that they don't carry any basic parts, but they should at least be able to order them. What company is it? Is it a chain or is it at least associated with one of the major chains? In addition to RockAuto, which has good prices and Slartibartfast has a valid point regarding shipping in his post above. Don't forget to check the vendor section for a discount code, you can also use Advanced Auto. Search the web for discount codes for Advance Auto if you go that route, they always have them and they always save a bunch of money.

I'll mirror RainGoat's sentiment and to build on that I would like to say, on behalf of all of NPORA's member base and staff alike, that your dedication and contributions are sincerely appreciated!

@Charlie_Brown I know Adam has had some bad experiences with aftermarket parts, and there is definitely some validity to that. However I replaced my slave cylinder with an aftermarket offering from ,I believe Napa, sorry I don't know exactly what brand it was, six and a half years ago. That same slave cylinder is in my truck now and operating just fine. This is just my unique case and as with Adam, YRMV.

Absolutely! They should be suspended!

Just a thought here, if I remember correctly the slave cylinders are fairly cheap so you might consider just replacing them both together and then you shouldn't have to deal with it again for a very long time.

@hawairish and all , please feel free to use the "Report" function if you feel that there is inappropriate activity that needs to be reviewed and potentially taken care of by staff immediately. You can find that in the upper right of all posts except your own. When a post is reported all staff, active or not, receive these notifications. For Less pressing matters that may still need attention, feel free to PM directly or use the mention feature.

@hawairish I appreciate the nominations but ask that this not turn into a nom thread that may or may not be taken under consideration. I mean nothing negative by this, it is just that I have never been a fan of staff appointed by a method that so often turns out to be little more than a popularity contest. Again, considering the above, suggestions are appreciated, but volunteers are better, especially when they present a case for it themselves... just explain why they would like to be, how they can contribute etc.... and privately. This gives basic idea of they really understand what NPORA is, as a community. However, even then it's hot entirely reliable, to that I'll point to the most recent forum testing and upgrade as a prime example. Many volunteered, few responded and fewer still actually contributed.

Happy New Year everyone!

Your headlight problem is likely covered in the following thread

I've never run drilled and/or slotted on any of my 4x4's, partly for the reasons mentioned regarding mud and grit, but mostly because standard rotors have always given me good across-the-board performance. However I always do look for quality thick rotors and not cheaper thin walled ones that are more prone to warping under hard braking. Now on my car I do run PowerStop drilled & slotted front and rear and they made a very noticeable improvement to braking performance. But then again I'm never planning on going through any mud holes in my LS.

Merry Christmas to all of the NPORA family and their families as well!
