My DDD Daily Driven Duramax

No, it came from china then after some redneck blows out a tire and turns it in for a core, it gets sent to mejico to get rebuilt.

from my experience most starter and alternator cores take a turn as the 'futbol' before being rebuilt, I imagine steering boxes are about the same. AGR sounds pretty good, I don't think they play 'futbol' in Oklahoma.

AGR is out of Fort Worth.

I used to live in Ft. Worth, you might be SOL then....

Unless they drastically changed the tire compound, you just fooked your self...

well fock. ive talked to 2 other ppl and they got better wear than the buckshots

[DRAGOONRANCH]

the last three sets of buckshots in the family have worn like iron, and our gravel roads are hell on tires.

[Reckless]

Tires are just higher than **** and these looked good. Ive heard from a reliable souce that they wear better than the buckshots. Maybe they have changed up the compound. I hope

[DRAGOONRANCH]

just keep an eye on your pressure and it will help a bunch

They use buckshots on the trucks at the coal mine. Also some of the nitto or toyo all terrains on the half tons.

Got new steering box in today from AGR. When it cools down around 6ish its going in. Pics to follow if camera will cooperate. Also found a hole in the intercooler to intake pipe. Damn powersteering hose rubbed the pipe. Fixed it with good ole JB weld.

Update. The t-case wasnt engaging into 4wd. Took it out and the shift yoke was fubared because the rear seal was leaking. Replaced yoke and seal. Went to test the 4wd in the driveway, it showed it was in 4 hi. This is one of the bastard push button t-cases I remind you. Pushed it into 2wd and just stayed in 4. I tried every combo in the book, Netural, Park, back and forth. Well then i checked the electrical connections and they were fine along with the shift motor. Come to find out there is a rotary sensor that tells what mode it is in. Well, apprently my year model only used a different type of this encoder sensor, while the new ones 02-08 use a different style. I have called all over the US and every junk yard or dealer wants to sell the whole t-case or the motor sensor combo which is 600 new. All i need is just a fvcking $40 sensor. But I got one trans shop that might can get me one. NP t-cases are a PITA. On another note, BigHorns do suck. I might get 20-25K if im lucky

Is that be the same thing that is in our burban? Because if so that is what will go out next.
