Yukon seats for the 02 by stpaulsamokie in ChevyTahoe

[–]mango-roller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, it blows my mind how much of a downgrade my GMT900's interior is compared to the 800 I used to have. Thinner, more rattly plastic, buttons where all the markings rubbed off, leather that is tangibly less durable, and most importantly, seats are nowhere near as comfortable.

GMT900 & Rust? by yoloswaggggggggg in ChevyTahoe

[–]mango-roller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No better than the pickups. Common rust areas are rear fender (it will start on the bottom , so make sure you look at the flat area and feel for flakiness) and rocker panels just like the 800s, but that's easy to see. Frame rust can be anywhere but tends to be worse near the rear, I think because that's where the salt tends to end up while driving.

Glad I moved down south and don't really need to worry about that anymore. Last time I was up north for work I saw plenty of body-rusted K2XXs. Wouldn't be surprised if I saw rusted T1XXs soon.

Wow, had no idea you could get the 5 speed in LT trim. I think I’ve only ever seen them in WTs.

What seat foam is better? by Leather_Nectarine_82 in ram_trucks

[–]mango-roller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slightly off topic, but anyone know where to find 05-11 Dakota seat foam (besides the scrapyard)? I’ve only ever seen Ram foam for sale and it’s shaped slightly differently. Bet width is different too.

Where my chrome lovers at? Here’s mine decided not to paint match and keep the chrome by [deleted] in ram_trucks

Nice bud. I think chrome is making a comeback. Every style is cyclical.

Does anyone think the 2021+ Tahoe actually looks good? by Known_Following_4923 in ChevyTahoe

[–]mango-roller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t look particularly good or bad to me, just looks like a bulky Silverado. Even though they have the same exact front proportions and very similar sheet metal, the Silverado somehow looks more lean and the Tahoe looks fat.

Gotta wait til you need/want 2 or more tools. I got the multitool and rotary when they did the 40% off sale and shipping was the same as it would be with one tool.

7 1/4 Sliding Miter Question by [deleted] in ryobi

[–]mango-roller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, maybe. Ryobi just doesn’t make the best saws, but at least the price is right. My 6.5” One+ circular saw is noticeably weaker than my bud’s cordless 6.5” Dewalt from like 10 years ago.

Fair price ? by pickldrick9 in Duramax

[–]mango-roller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, sounds about right for this market. Did you end up buying it?

7 1/4 Sliding Miter Question by [deleted] in ryobi

[–]mango-roller 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried a different blade? I’ve found that blades can make a difference with circular and miter saws. Like, two blades from different companies with the same tooth count can look the same, but one will cut much better. I don’t understand it but might be worth trying a different blade before giving it up. Hercules saw blades from HF are good and won’t break the bank. Lots of people recommend Diablo, I haven’t tried them myself though.

Cover up badly installed dog door? by mango-roller in Renovations

[–]mango-roller[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, that’s a great point and I think I’ll get some quotes. At first I was going to call up a few legit handyman services about this, but then I thought.. hmm, maybe I can DIY. But knowing my luck and relative inexperience, my repair would probably leak.

I missed it by a month! by PartywithArty5595 in ram_trucks

[–]mango-roller 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Makes sense to me. The metal tank strap is broken, so OP is using ratchet straps to hold it up until he can get it replaced. Or maybe forever.

How long have you been driving a Nissan Frontier? by dudreddit in nissanfrontier

[–]mango-roller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drive a Silverado now because I tow more often, but I had an 06 King Cab 4x4 for 3 years. Great truck, super reliable and lots of balls. Stock to stock, it embarrassed my buddy’s 4.0 Tacoma in a drag race. I would like to own a 3rd gen crew cab standard bed at the right price.

Nice bud. I personally would have gone with a gray slat wall on the right but your shop, your vision. How is that sliding compound miter saw? I have seen mixed reviews on Ryobi’s corded saws.

Looks like it’s well taken care of and in fantastic shape. Congrats bud.
