Please use jack stands when your working under a vehicle; a guy down the road from me dyed last year when his car fell on him.

Or at least put the tires under the truck so it does not crush you

I know most people won't buy new hardware, especially if their truck was cheap but you get what you pay for. I paid 270 dollars for a 1999 f150, and it needed 100 to get it road worthy. With that said, the drivers side door hinge and the hood latch failed two years after I bought the truck in 2017. I bought both replacements from my local Ford dealership. It wasn't hideously expensive, and my logic is that those pieces lasted 20 years in the northeast with all the snow and salt that comes with it, so they must be good quality. Time is money too, do you want to do the job once or a few times? I still own my truck, and it's now 25 years old with 212,000 on the clock, and I've not had to touch the hardware I've installed since I put in.

Your dog is great! I've always thought that most of the time the frost on the headlights is because people took their car to the car wash and used the spray wax.

Brass fittings are junk , go with copper or tool steel bushings !!!!!👍

@99Projects 10 ай бұрын

Ya know tool steel is a good idea. I never thought about that

@DavidRobinson-mx6cl 10 ай бұрын

@@99Projects I had no luck with brass bushings , like you said, maybe two weeks. Copper lasted longer , depending on how wallowed out the hinges are , tool steel seems to last ! Might have to order them specifically to size or get them turned on a lathe !!! 👍

I’ve replaced my s10 door pins twice and the same thing happened immediately afterwards, brass bushings broke. The last time I ended up welding flat washers onto the brackets which held the pins into place

I think it would last years at least. If you live in the north east, taking the age of those trucks into consideration it should easily out last the truck.
