    We need more information to completely solve your problem. And my more information, I mean whining about how when you say moronic things that people tell you how moronic it is. Then you will need to write a 12 page article about how you are NOT trying to get attention. Finally you need to wonder why every one ELSE seems to always be the problem. But alas, it's not your fault.....
    Don't bring skittles to a gunfight.

    LCM?... What does LCM stand for? Is it expensive? Can I use an LCM from a Blazer? Should I just rip this 'LCM' out of the Marauder?

    Yes, When I race Porsches on cold curvy roads in heavy traffic I am quite often sideways! Does it matter if I am sliding to the left or to the right?
    How can I tell if I have an 'L' model? Is my Marauder special?

    Yep, you're right! Everybody seems to have a 'tude' about me. Just because I never try to fix it myself, I never attempt to search existing threads for a possible answer, I never really even think about the problem...I just fire up another long thread!
    And if you don't like it...That's your problem buddy...not mine! Deal with it!
    "I'm here to post the most"
    BTW: Get your own blog site!.....this one is mine!

    Usually the driver's door, and usually when I am doing crazy donuts in intersections while hanging out of the open driver's door to see how much smoke is coming off of my rear tires.
