Red face Jeesh Fronty...

what you do- start when you were 17?? have her buy the tahoe and check the tranny/differential/ujoint line. something has got to be plain GONE for a dodge at that price.

short night; supper good: venison seasoned burgers and italian sauage, garlic&cheese bread, green beans and strawberry shortcake. tired but can't sleep.
fixed harley outer fairing (mesh) and wasn't paying attention to the inner fairing- didn't like the job. (what a pain to get rid of figerglas gel!!!) hate to waste like that. clean it off start again tomorrow. rescue class is 12 -2PM so I'll try to do the work in the AM.

ChrisR THANKS for the offer- but macerator hasn't had the padlock OFF yet.
17 year old m/y. I have an aversion to breaking the law....

tired and blank Heidi, out

spell check requires another program download....easier to learn his language.

As the saying goes "You can't teach old dogs new tricks" Spell check is one of those tricks.

Just like him to post a sign like that when he can't hit the floor with a mop.


Evening all, looks like I picked the wrong day to skip the breakroom. My but y'all have been busy. Heading to bed, early day tomorrow, trucks are coming in to haul rock out. Y'all have a good night.

Might see if they make a posi-lok for your model yet? It's a bi-pass cable that connects to the axle-disconnect, bi-passing the vacuum stuff. Also allows you the option of engaging the transfer case low gear without the front axle, if needed. And you always know when the front is engaged. The system can malfunction and keep the front engaged at times, wearing out the cv shfts and everything else.

No go on the x-fer case. Ran outta time and patience. I will get back at it when I get back from this trip ... unless Mrs. Pistol decides to take it to someone who actually knows what he's doing .

Yeah, I heard that was in the works. He's the right guy for the job.
I got to spend some time with him and his family last year at the XO's Christmas party .... real forward-leaning and personable guy. Definately not your mainstream type admiral !!

Cheers,
PISTOL
