100% Redneck
I went to a "National Tire & Battery" franchise for my last line up. The first store close to the house didn't have the tool that mounts to 20" wheels. He sent me 15 miles to another store and they fixed me up. I first went to Goodyear, they pulled the truck in then back out. "we can't work on modified suspensions". It uses factory specs I told the manager. "Sorry sir company policy"
Another old man story...
First started doing body work in Charlotte, NC. After a front end collision we'd pull and straighten out the bent frame. Since I was the "new guy" I'd hook the vehicle to the wrecker and tow it down to the alignment shop. You did this to see how it "tracked" after the frame work so you didn't bolt new sheet metal on a crooked frame. I got to know all the guys at the alignment shop really well and I'd stop by after work and drink couple beers at their shop. It's nice to know people with other automotive skills

Fixed my power lumbar. Also was not plugged in BUT when I went to bench test it it still did not work. Ended up pulling the entire wire harness put and double checking everything. All seemed well so plugged it all back up and it worked. Not sure what happened there.
Tried to fix the rails from sliding back and forward with the new bushings. I am unsure why I need to take the plastic trim piece off on the outside rail? I can't do it either it seems. I also think I have the seat positioned in the wrong spot to access the rod because it does NOT want to come out. Going to put the seat back in the truck as I need it this weekend.
Finally I went to put on my new registration sticker and what did you know, the tinters tinted over it and I tore some of the tint. It is not bad and I can for sure still rock it but it is really annoying.
In quite the bad luck rut at the moment.

Finally got my new floor mats. Genuine GM NNBS mats. Passenger side is not perfect, I'd give it like a 7/10 but driver side is fantastic.

Been 5 months since I updated this thread. Nothing has happened except for my PCM issues but I did reinstall the factory bumper and sold my K2XX one. eBay product that didn't come with some of the hardware. **** eBay bumpers
