That sucks, hopefully you get everything worked out on Thursday. I hope somebody here might know something about trucks.
I bought the truck on Friday and I noticed that the temp gauge would never go above about 140. It has been cold so I figured that had something to do with it. Last night coming home the truck finally go to normal operating temp, and then kept going.
The gauge would go halfway to the red zone and then cool back down to normal, and then do same thing over again. It did this the entire way home, from McKinney to Plano on 75. I think that it is the thermostat but not too sure.
Does anybody on here have any suggestions?

Dang what's with you guys and overheating! That sucks. Kristi that sounds like an expensive fix..
Squeaky you patching up the radiator or getting a new one?
Damn Jacob, so you couldn't get the new lsd in? Jason didn't tell me nothing about the problems.

I want one 
..almost pulled the trigger on a d40/d60.... You did a pretty good job, but looks like you can do way better. I'm sure the host you uploaded it to probably compressed the hell out of the image, and why are there watermarks on there?
Just had some advertisement guy my parents let in vacuum 1 room with there kirby vacuum. It did this, is it a scam? Do anybody actually 'own' one of these? Not that we're going to buy one....cause we're not.
Caution..pretty gross..might want to not eat while looking?

Also take a look at this for HDR. Gizmodo did a diy on.

Good Morning Peeps of the DFW world.
Q,
Sorry I guess the loaner was silver. Dude, you have got to learn to eat sushi....you'll love it.
Draco,
the image looks good, Raw is a good way to shoot only it doesn't enhance your image, its in the way you export the image and how good of a color profile that software has. Typically your images are the same....think of a Raw capture kinda like the film in a old style camera. Once you captured the image you have to process it out on to paper or print....or just process it if you shot a transparency. But anyways its like the raw capture is your negative and the exported image is the print.

Good morning.
I am going to replace the radiator in the truck this afternoon when I get off work. I got lucky since the first autozone I called had the radiator in stock and it was only $141.
I will post picks of the exhaust this afternoon. I have to take pics of the Nismo exhaust also so that I can post it for sale. The Nismo exhaust was a pain to get off. It would of helped if I had WD-40 to spray on the rubber hangers.
Next I have to do the bumper tuck mod.
