    Lmao I drove a 10k pound 7.3 dually zf6 as my very first vehicle. I single handedly seal coated my high school parking lot with oil leaks and diesel leaks. Biggest pos on the lot but boy did I love it. C clamps to keep the utility body closed because the latches rusted out of it. Then pulled up in the cleanest e46 bmw the next year no one really knew what to think of me😂

      Upgrade the pitman and idler arm and idle arm bracket to the kryptonite and your front end parts and it should help your red head. Or get the red head HD version

      Friends it is seeming to be the last hour, and I desire that you acknowledge the God that does exist, and his Son Jesus the Christ, know that you cannot get your righteousness and enter the kingdom of Heaven, by deeds or following the law, but by having your faith in the Holy One who makes your righteous through faith. Be converted, have the Holy Spirit, humble yourself, do not be a hypocrite (we are all guilty of this, I am EXTREMELY GUILTY of this), REPENT AND CONFESS YOUR SINS and ask for forgiveness, read the Bible, be baptised in the name of Jesus. Read the Bible read the Bible read the Bible. Start in the 4 Gospel books, Matthew Mark Luke and John, believe what you read, and be changed, and sanctified, be a sheep of Christ's, ❤ Grace and peace be unto you saints
