Default Whats driving you nuts with the truck?

I'm a perfectionist, or so I'm told When I can't get things just so. It bugs me.

I still have some drive-line vibration after my drop. Was mostly gone now its back a bit more.
Now my alky pump is leaking

My tranny does funny things at cruise in OD and accelerating from a coast. Feels like its slipping. It's actually not done it so bad the last few weeks but did a funny clunk tug kind of thing tonight. Still can't break it though. I tried tonight.

When its cold my security light in the dash stays on real dimly. I put tape over it in the winter.

I hate my brakes... always have and can't ever seem to get the money saved to upgrade the brakes. Always wind up spending the money on something to make it go faster.

I can't keep up with the chips and scratches in the paint. I fix a couple but find 3 more.

Ohhh well. I could go on and on. Just a rant. Post up yours. It will make you feel better!

I have a vibration at idle...sometimes. I think it's the exhaust kissing the frame?
My trims freak out and A/F goes crazy lean/rich while at cruise...sometimes.
Ditto on the brakes ....

I'm sure everybody is like this but everytime I do something to it to make it faster it feels 10x better at first and then after a month or so I guess I get used to it and my truck seems slow again.

My truck also feels like it weighs 2x as much as it does sometimes

My tonneau cover needs to be painted

I have a small dent on my bumper

My hood needs to be repainted for rock chips.

My tune is far from perfect

Thats why you can never stop modding. It feels slow after a while and you gotta upgrade lol.

My tune is a joke if anything. More of a joke than a tune, as you can see by my times.

My dual climate lights went out. First the one on the left, then the one on the right.

ALL controls to my passenger side door quit working a few days ago. Can't control anything on my passenger door via passenger door or driver door.

I have a crack right behind my right rear tire. It's a good 10" long, it hides itself most of the time but is hideous at others.

I have to buy my G/F a chihuahua for Christmas instead of getting horse power tuners.

I had OEM plastic mudguards (the black ones with a white bow tie on them) which chaffed the paint off right down to the plastic.

My old man works at a body shop and I could get a hell of a deal on getting my body work fixed, but I'd rather spend money on going fast.

I almost have 60,000 miles on the truck and can't seem to get around to getting a 4 cylinder DD.

Besides all that I love my truck anyways Even tho they salt the roads good here in Ohio I still have very minimal rust, even underneath.
