I think we need to move away from installing things like Painless Wiring
How about installing wiring just like the last harness that lasted 75 years? :)
My favourite new thing is the black coated brake line.
So I go into the local auto parts store to buy some steel brake line. First they try to sell me some of the Mickey Mouse pre made lines...no...I just want a roll of steel brake line. So they bring out this black/dark grey stuff...WTF? Whats this? I just want regular old zinc plated steel brake line. Nope...nobody uses it anymore
What do you mean? This stuff is way better...its coated so it doesnt rust
Ummm...they didnt make this stuff because its better...they made it because they ran it through a powder coating machine thats way cheaper than zinc. Problem is, brake lines rust from the inside out.
No thanks....Embrace The Cool Old Technology
You gonna put in a new fangled gauge & replace the ones that make your truck cool??

You gonna replace your cool old Budd split rims with that junk Stockton Wheel sells? Why? They havent been a problem in 75 years...why are they a problem now?
I mean I guess youll save $50 having your tires installed on those one piece rims but at the expense of your truck now having rims that look like they were made in Taiwan.
