surprisingly, mine worked absolutely perfectly today. used it to move about 1500lbs of batteries for work 3 times. had a couple pallets in our storage unit that needed to be moved to shop before winter hit

i know thats overloading it (according to printed payload rating) but i only drove 3 miles and i still had play in my suspension so i don't see any issues.

I had 6000 pounds of mulch in the back of my F-150 once and still had suspension play. Pretty much the same deal as you moving it about 3 miles. Was a scary 3 miles though with all that weight LMAO.

All this for a damn multifunction switch ........

Note the black electrical tape on the base of the old one. That lasted over a year and a half.

I made the mistake of removing the threaded part of the stem, & taking that plastic U-joint apart to clean & grease. Wasn't fun getting it back together. There's a little clip hiding in between the 2 plastic halves that catches on the C yoke - what a ballbuster!

WHile I was that deep, I removed the 4 E8 Torx bolts & put loctite on them ... because we all know what will inevitably happen ....

Okay, first off, Gio I like the semi avatar lol.

And now, what have I done to the blazer lately?

Well my internet and tv was out all day yesterday so me and a buddy went to the yard and found a nice leather passenger seat. About 2 months ago I found the whole rear row of grey leather seats. Now yesterday I find a nice leather grey passenger seat. Good things come to those who wait, it's true lol. Now all I need is a grey leather drivers seat. Yay! lol.

Here's a pic of the passenger seat I picked up!
