5th Gear, hopefully tomorrow!

My son and I are going to attempt to install the 5th gear fix in my truck in the morning. I am really sick of 4th gear on the freeway!

Mark,

What happened to your 5th gear ?

Did someone stop, pick it up, and throw it in the back of their car and take off with it ????????

Just curious.

As I remember it he lost it in an all night bender playing Texas hold-em and said "I'm all in".

No, that was how I lost my innocence... Got it all fixed. Never want to do that again.

I can't believe how smoothly my truck is running now. I think my 5th gear was spending more time loose than tight, because it has never been this quiet.

5th Gear, hopefully tomorrow!
