I have an older model truck, and it's hard to find parts for.  Now I know where to go to get  the exact parts I need.

I was sorry to see it would not work on my 98 Truck.

I purchased this for my SO, who needed the part for an old truck that he's just bought. The truck's original handle was missing the metallic circular top. He had a few problems figuring out how to properly remove the old and replace it this one but eventually managed to place it correctly.

Don't know why I'm reviewing my TRUCK since I bought it in 2004. But since I have a chance I'll tell you that DODGE SUCKS! Too many problems with the truck, a few things should have had a recall but they didn't. Steering shaft is a FATAL flaw that really should have been recalled since they changed the design of it. I only bought this truck because it was the only quad cab I could afford at the time. Yes I still own it, and it has 63,000 on it and it needs major work.

I bought one of these in 2010 for my 2nd gen Ram 2500 4x4. Don't expect it to help much if you've got sloppy parts all through your front end.
Fix the looseness first.
Having had this thing on my truck for several years I can add one tidbit of warning:
If you ever have to remove this thing - for whatever reason - you're in for a miserable time sliding the bearing off of the extended pitman arm nut.
It's necessarily a tight fit - and in spite of my putting anti seize compound on the bearing and nut I haven't been able to remove the brace without destroying the bearing.
Right now I'm setting to install new steering gear and once again I've had to destroy the bearing to get the brace out of the way - it's a faulty design or material selection or something.
Be sure you order a new bearing if you plan to remove the brace - you'll need it.

None of the adapters fit my 1969 Ford Pickup truck. Amazon doesn't have a way for me to talk to them about this that I can see at all. They just want to do a return. Well, in trying to fit the closest one the adapter is now stuck in my American Shifter knob and I have no way to remove it so now i'm stuck with this thing and if I did find the right adapter I wouldn't be able to install it in my shifter ball now anyway.
On the plus side it fits the American Shifter ball perfectly, if they have an adapter that fits your stick then it would be great. Didn't work out for me though.

I bought my 2002 North Face Edition Avalanche over 10 years ago.  She is showing her age now and has needed some work, but has been a great truck.  I've done a lot of towing with her.  170k on the clock, still the original transmission (trick is to run an external tranny cooler).

Worst part about this truck is the brakes.  Total garbage.  Lines rust out quickly.  Front brakes are undersized.  Luckily, you can very easily upgrade to the '07 - '13 Avalanche front brakes by simply switching out the caliper for one from the newer trucks (plus the rotor/pads that go with them).  I also replaced all the brake lines with stainless steel pre-bent lines from Custom Tube, changed the soft lines out to braided lines, and deleted the vac assist setup for a GM Hydroboost setup.  All of this together makes a world of difference in how this truck brakes.

Actually, rust in general is the issue with these trucks.  Rear fenders are prone to rust.  Fuel line rusted out on mine as well.  I've did a fuel pump 100k ago.  Front shocks didn't hold up well, but the rears are still original and fine.  The motors have an issue with breaking exhaust manifold bolts...I recommend soaking them in a GOOD penetrating oil (good means not PB Blaster, WD-40, etc) and pulling them out carefully and replacing them with a high quality manifold bolt, like ARP stainless bolts.  Stock cat converters let go around 110k miles.  Front window motors/regulators both went but are pretty cheap/easy to replace.

Stock stereo was garbage but I fixed that in 2006.  Tow settings aren't great, but I tweaked them with HP Tuners and that really helped.

Being a North Face Edition, it can only come as a loaded truck.  Only options I'm missing are heated seats (can't get with the NFE package, sadly) and 3.73 gears instead of 4.10's.  I would have preferred 4.10's.  My driver's seat didn't hold up well and can't be fixed/replaced as the seat skins aren't available.

This all probably sounds like a lot of complaints, but at the same time I love this truck.  It's done daily driver duty (not any more, but used to), minor off-roading, plenty of towing, long trips, you name it.  She has only been towed once when the fuel pump died 9 years ago.  She is comfortable, rides well and can eat up the miles on a long trip.  I'll be selling her very soon...once I find the right '07+ Escalade EXT (Caddy's version of the Avalanche) to replace her.  So even though I'm getting rid of the truck, it's only to replace her with a newer/more loaded version of the same thing.

I purchased this not knowing at the time I had an early production model of Expedition in 03 thus it needed to be the more square type.  So it is a pain to have to find a local store that had the correct one and pay twice as much for it, my suggestion... open it up ahead of time and look at the connectors before you buy.. Caveat emptor or Let the buyer beware

This looks like a great product and it probably IS on MOST trucks.  On my 1989 c1500, the clearances are a bit too tight and it's very very very difficult to get on and off.  Also if you have the old style tailgate metal folding straps instead of the newer cables, they will interfere with the product making the tailgate impossible to close.  It's probably a 5 star product for newer trucks.

When I bought this truck, it was already old.  I have had to do a lot to it but at 260,000 miles now, that is expected.  I would buy another Suburban.

I will most likely return this product.  I still have not been able to figure it out.  Maybe it's just not meant for my truck.  It might be right for another car but not mine.

Bought it for a 2003 Ford Ranger and the bar is solid, not like my old one that was 2 pieces, so when installing you can not put in the middle of the access placement, for the spare tire access hole to lower the spare tire would be covered, so looking for a different bar made for this truck, The amazon page showed that it did fit this truck, sorry not correctly though.

Hey guys, so I purchased these for my 93 ford f150, the description says that it fits 1974-up fords, well, the instruction manual says 1974 to 1991 ford.  I could not find any thing else that would fit my year of ford, so I went ahead and got this mounting kit.  It fits, almost.  I did have to do some modification to the mount to get it to fit into my dash.  I did use the ford adapter, I just ended up trimming off a couple more of the tabs so that my dash would go back together almost exactly the same.  It is close to looking how it did, but not quite.  I can see that it is not exactly right, but my wife cannot.  So anybody who has a 93 ford f150, or something with a similar dash style, you can make this work.  Just use a little imagination and you will figure it out.  I wish I took pictures of it before I put it all back together just so people have a reference, but unfortunately I did not.  And I am sorry for that.  But like I said, you can make it work.

It works, but while we were programming it, we ended up programming it for
our other truck somehow and now can't seem to get it to program on the
original truck we were working on.  But I have faith, we will figure it out.
Just know that when you order, it will come with a small card that has a
website on it to go to for instructions.  They don't come with the instructions,
which I think would be very helpful if a person didn't have access to the
computer.

This product states that it will fit an 82-93 S-10 pickup; but it won't work.  While it fits over the pinch weld properly, it is too thick to allow the door to fully close; and too rigid as well.  There is no possible way to make it work.  I wish I would have discovered this earlier as it is too late to return.

I owned the older T-Rac for my Ranger. That older model sides were one piece and when assembled into the rails they were soild.
The new system sides breaks down into three pieces that screw together. After assembly I could stand in the bed, grap the top rails and I could move it. I'm sure its together correctly and all the screw are tight. It should be ok, but after owning the older model I'm disapointed in this new model. They must have changed thing to make it easier to ship.

I'm also disapointed they don't make clamps I could use to install my old rack onto my new Tacoma.
I emailed and called the company to see if they did.

I still think its a nice rack,

This item replaced ones that were no longer working but it is difficult to lower the tailgate now. Raising the tailgate is EZ but there appears to be extreme resistance built up in them when I have to lower the gate.
