    Looking for opinions...

    So, I'm having a debate with myself about replacing my upper and lower ball joints. I've been reading a lot of info on Mevotech and just wanted to get some feedback as to whether I should go that route. Has anyone used that brand and if so, what are your opinions?

    About a month ago I noticed my truck running a little warmer than it normally did. At first I didn't think anything of it until it happened again especially with my temp gauge not reading properly due to needing the sending unit replaced. Recently I replace both the sending unit and the temp...
