It's all good. :D Got her back today, everything seems good. First thing after the lot runner pulled her up, I tried 4Lo and the center locker, and it all worked like it should. I thought I smelled a little burned clutch, but I couldn't find the source, and that doesn't make sense anyway...

What a little cutie. She doesn't seem too sure about 3D Bill Murray, though. :D

Thanks for all the kind words. Got the wire transfer done today, and everything seemed good until I called the tow lot manager to touch base and he said Mannheim (auction guys) came and picked it up today. Since WF didn't have a hold on it, he had to let it go. I about had a stroke right then...

Indeed. I've tried to be very civil and friendly all around to this point. Repo guy seems like a standup dude, he's even agreed to waive one of their fees because I'm trying to get this handled quickly and professionally. Letting the dogs off the leash before you're back in control of the...

Yeah, it is, that's why I'm worried. Ok, here's the story. We moved about a year ago. For the first couple months, Wells Fargo Dealer Services had a lot of trouble getting our bill to us correctly, despite my wife filing it with them just how they asked. After that, everything was smooth...

Yeah, I'm mentally preparing myself to start her up, put her in gear and be greeted by either nothing or some horrible noises. If you call a tow truck and they're working for you, I would certainly expect them to be careful, but repo companies seem to prefer whatever method lets them get out of...

Through no fault of my own (long story), my 03 Limited was towed last night. I will probably be able to get it back yet this week, but if it's damaged, I just might lose it. When I visited it at the impound lot today, I saw that they had looped the seat belt through the steering wheel, as I've...

I've never felt it worthwhile to replace just a boot. It's more work, more mess, and not usually significantly cheaper. If you've lost grease, you've probably got water and dirt in there too, and once that happens you're on borrowed time anyway. I've always used NAPA remans and have never had...

Don't know about a dealer, but I wouldn't bother with the ones off eBay. I had one, the quality was crap, and it just wouldn't program.

You guys are great. Thanks for all the info!

Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll shoot for that one.

May be taking a trip to Colorado this summer, and I'm wondering if it wouldn't be fun to take the T4R on some light off road trails... Something more than gravel roads, but somewhere I won't have any trouble in a stock 03 Limited. This will be done on a long road trip vacation, so I don't want...

I think I found the problem:

That's a little over 68k miles for anyone wondering. I'd say shocks might be approaching the end of their life at that point and it's not too surprising for one to fail then. Seems awfully quick for a ball joint though, but given all the variables out there, not unreasonable. I think that's...

Thought I'd bump this, because I learned something over the weekend that might help you guys. I would advise against getting the black ones. My wife is unhappy with the WeatherTechs because "the floor is always dirty, and I can't put my purse down". She didn't have that complaint about the...
