HO, girlfriend lives off Horseneck Rd, not too far from where I saw you. I live up in Montville by the farm.

PowerRam, the early 04's had the 305hp/555tq motors while the 04.5's had 325hp/600tq. Early 04's didn't have a cat, 04.5+ did. I believe in the 04.5+ trucks there is another injection event. That black truck is nice, but I think its only 2wd. Not sure if thats what your looking for.

time.

I have heard of it, and was hoping to go this year, as well as the Bloomsburg Jamboree, but time and money said I should consider local stuff and working...

The Hooters meets usually alternate between Wayne and Franklin, which is basically NORTH. lol

Hey this is the gf again, I posted before too (he's no good with the computer lol) ..... we have to wait for the clutch assembly to be shipped to us since they didnt have what he needed on site. I'm sure he could really use a hand installing it. Let me know when you have a meeting at Hooters in Franklin again.

BTW - Carlisle was awesome, so much too see!!! our friend blew his rear drivetrain in the tug-o-war and our other friend won the burnout competition in his Peterbilt, sorry no pics....

HAHAHA sounds like a plan Mike, might as well join the twins club and toss in a big set of sticks with a garden hose fuel line I hear you on the free time, have to work tomorrow morning then drive back up to PA tomorrow to close on the house, work on getting the GN hitch ready for install, clean the quads, change fluids in quads and truck, clean the truck, get ready for the riding trip the weekend of the 23rd. THEN there is that whole home ownership thing...

What company did you end up ordering the clutch from? As for the install, never done one, but would be willing to try and lend a hand where I can... I need your name so I know who I am typing at

Yeah, being a new homeowner kinda drains the time and money pretty fast. That's my excuse. Good luck wit tha house.

Tom, thanks for the input. Can't go with a 6 spd as the little woman may have to drive it in a pinch, if she can see over the wheel.

I personally dont know the guy with the 'M' but the people we were hanging out with down there know him. He was supposed to participate in the burnout contest too and blow out his front tires. But since he had no rear brakes they wouldn't let him do it for safety reasons.
