Two Steps Forward one step back

Illustration for article titled Two Steps Forward one step back

When I drunkenly bid on and won the auction for my 2007 Dodge Ram I found out the driver’s seatbelt was cut when I picked the truck, of course Chrysler no longer makes them, and of course it is a 2 year only part for only regular cab Ram 1500s. So after weeks of searching I finally found one in Texas from a low mileage truck that hadn’t been wrecked or flooded (Tree fell on the bed) So I get the part here and after a painful remove and replace (Torx Bolts are straight from the depths of hell). I find out why the the seatbelt was cut to begin with, the latch receiver is Jammed! Well Shit, off to scour the junkyards again.
