Sounds like everyone is going to there either to the race of the homecoming. Even Tim from Decent Garage is going to be there. I asked him if he was going. I need to power up my gauges temporarily, install my tripe A pillar pod.

Off work since December 9th. Starting tomorrow at 6am. Got my brakes up and working. Not really getting the super warm and fuzzy feeling with them. The pedal isn't hard enough for my liking. I put 1 3/16th diameter wheel cylinders in there+top of the line commercial/heavy hauling shoes from Rockauto.

Differential is as quiet as it was before the axle pulling and bearing/seal replacement. Confirmed it is 3:54's. Was told it was rebuilt once. The gears have January of 1995 stamping. Did the Mag-Hytec high capacity diff cover. This thing has a port for a temp gauge, sight hole like stock, magnetic drain plug, and a magnetic dip stick! I didn't know about the port, or the dipstick when I bought it. The size of it may not allow for installing a sway bar in the future.









I asked the boss lady on the phone about working Monday and Tuesday, (originally asked last Tuesday face to face) and taking the rest of the week off. We'll see if that flies tomorrow. I need the job.

Last night was a run home from Nashville with the brand new LED headlights. The passenger side would work if you hit the right bump. The high beams flat out kicked butt! That headlight has water in t too.
60% of the time my blue "high beam indicator" works,

See you there!

We will be in our “diamond ice blue” Cummins powered 3/4 ton 4x4 ‘89 Ramcharger. I bet I will have a white ‘92 club cab D250 with a huge slide in camper and a sweet looking “candy cane” colored twin turbo’ed W250 close by….Those will be my buddies that are convoying out from Vermont with me.

Our trucks will be in the homecoming show parking, but I would guess we will also spend time wandering around checking stuff out., We are also be attending the Cumins factory tour on Thursday..
My friend and his boy driving the D250 with the slide in camper, will be camping at the Family Racetrack campground with my daughter and myself = Weds - Sunday.

I think KRB reserved the camping spot right by us.

Got it. Spent $22 at the carwash knocking the lichens and mushrooms off it. It's a nice 50 footer. Missing one sliding glass panel in the front.

We'll know something. My boss called me yesterday. I missed her call. ATT has turned over their voicemeail to a contractor and I am locked out. I ran to Louisville and back yesterday. I have to talk to her see what's up. My brother wants me to come to Florida and say good bye to mom. She is 89 and 86lbs. Hoping to do the reunion and go to Florida Monday or Tuesday. We were supposed to do a family get together July 4th.

I really want to go to the show. I will need to check into reservations for the camp ground.
