Top bolt is not tough at all


get a 6 inch extension, a small 12 point 10 mm socket, and a smaller 2-3 inch extension, make sure u shoot them with PB blaster first tho, and droppin the starter will be a 10 minute job... I know for me it is...

If it's the sound I have, I've never heard anything like it before.
My starter contacts just started sticking this morning so it could be starter related...
Then again I did tons of cranking this weekend after the lift pump replacement and clearing the lines ect.

Man! have you asked her out yet? Send her some flowers or in her case a gift cert and AutoZone, or a 2.5 gallon jug of Rotella. Don't play coy! Does she cook?

This may be the most exciting thing to happen to DTR since Beagle1 left!

We've been on a few dates and gone to the bars and what not. Going to dinner and a movie on monday so we'll see what happens. Got some interesting history about her from one of her friends but not quite sure if I trust the friend. If you count reheating steak in the microwave and sauteeing it in butter cooking then yes, she does. Other than that, it's up to me. I'm glad to know that my life is such a big deal. What did ever happen to Beagle?

Up to you? I don't think so! If we left this up to you 40 years from now your still be a bachelor. Are you gonna take a shower?, fufu smell good stuff?(Don't use diesel either) brush your teeth, and use mouth wash. (No one like BB (bad breath)

You mean for her truck right, not the relationship.

Cin, everytime I try and bring her truck up she says it's a slow pos and changes the subject to mine. Heck, she burned my entire last tank of diesel. She's driven it more than I have since I got it back and now she's expecting to drive it once I get the TST back in. the other night I let her drive it up to the truck meet so she could make the guys think it's her's. I now remember why I stayed single for so long. It's expensive dating. And yes Cin, as far as I know she has complete control and I'm along for the ride. I really need to take some assertion classes but I'll be a monkey's uncle if I can say no to her. Glad the trans is built otherwise it would be toast by now.
