TX DTR #8--August Meet
Yeah, whenever I have the lines off, I pull the connecting tubes and check the o-rings and ends. Everything looked OK. I did find my leak though, it was on #1. Which is suspiciously the same tube I had problems with when I did the VP swaps (while it was back at the #5 position). Next time the lines are off, I'll have to take a really close look at it and see if I can see any tiny cracks or anything else.
Also really glad I swapped the injectors last Sunday. I got down to Giddings this weekend and found out that I had to haul a load of hay we bought from a guy over in Paige (surprise!). It was around 106* there on Saturday afternoon and things were toasty enough with the DD2s. No way I would have made it anywhere with the 6s. Luckily I managed to make the trip with no problems. The semi that followed me wasn't quick as lucky. When he got to Paige where we were loading, he had the inside dual on one of his trailer axles off the bead with a big hole in it. No idea how long it had been that way. Then he followed me over to my place and took the cap off the outside tire on the same side while making a turn on the road (spread axles on the trailer). Ended up leaving the trailer at our house waiting for the lease company to come out and put 3 new tires on (has another one totally bald and ready to blow).

Well no reason we can't actually! You do the mashed taters...Brian can bring and grill the steaks (EXACTLY like those)......RJ can handle the green beans....I'll handle the bread....hmmm....what can Matt do? Ohh Matt will be working on the patio! Sounds like a plan.

..
Actually that is not a bad idea..

Seriously, I will have to do it myself come fall. I want it to cool off!
I saw the newscast weather and it looks like it's gonna be scorching all week, 100+....then come down to a cooooooool 97-98 degrees for Sat.

Hey, new guy checkin' in here 
Is there something going on this weekend
Been swamped lately, wife's grandpap passed at the end of June, ended up going back to PA for a week, through the 5th of July.
Anniversary #10 was 2 weeks later, then we went to St. Simon's Island Georgia for our annual week at the beach with the family. Just got back from that on Saturday. Had to go to the funeral home on Sunday and the funeral today for a 34 y/o guy I worked with, blood clot
Gonna try to stop by on Saturday

From: living in hotels like an underpaid rockstar!
chris still has it, uses it on almost every truck that enters the shop! he finally restuffed the pad a few months back
So how much of a job is it to replace the seal at the output shaft of the transfer case? Just noticed today that my truck was leaving it's mark on the driveway after getting parked last night. Looks like a pretty good leak too...more than a couple of drips.
Thanks Mike!! Wow you really shouldn't have offered so generously!
Mike is providing 'all you can drink' beer of your favorite brands!...Shiners, Miller Lights, name it and let him know here so he can plan and buy enough.......coolers full of ice, and of course, the beer!
Mike, my order is for a single CASE of Miller Light for me since I don't really drink heavy.

, Two batches, one spicy other regular, your welcome RJ. Me doing the deck work? I tell you what would probably work out better and faster for you is if I borrow your truck (since it is hard to put people on the back of mine) and I'll run up the street where Brian and I found them and grab a few hands that don't speak English.
Rob, You have been busy. Are you still enjoying your short throw shifter? I ordered one for my freshened up tranny. hope to have it today or tomo. Not sure I can wait for the day of light wrenching though to install it.


Scratch my maybe off my name, I am in, and excited . Probably make it out at noon sat. and leave some time after dinner. Plans sat night in Fort Worth.
Robert, Picked up a big box of hambergers and 2 dozon hot dogs this AM. Will get buns for same on Sat. And, of course chopped Vidalia's (onions) that no one but me seems to like! 
After the rain , I bet that field behind your house is a jungle again??

Always a possibility. I think it's had a slow leak for a while. I've always seen a little residue on the u-joint, but never enough to drip. I'll have to crawl under there today and take a close look at it to see what's up. Oh well, it was time for a transfer case fluid change anyway.
