I saw they had CJ in the larger containers last time, I just grabbed a case of quarts. No use stocking up since I don't go through it very quick. When I can't find CI, I'll run CJ and deal with it then.

BTW, congrats Robert!

Cold? They're only talking the 40s overnight. That's a whole lot better than the last time I stayed out there. I'm definitely turning the truck away from the wind this time if it does get cold.

Plus, I heard that it's free beer at Diamond W on Friday...

Well when my truck ran away a total of three times.... We had to loosen the fuel line on the CP3 to kill it.

Not well, I scrounged together the $$$ just barely to make these happen, So I am not sure how I am going to come up with more $$ for Don's or some reputable injector.

I feel your pain! Weren't they 'new' factory injectors?
You sound fairly mellow after that nightmare. Bet it took the entire ride home to calm down!

The fella that helped/ did 98% of the work is a Cummins tech at the local dealer, he brought every tool he needed and not a single tool extra. He was pretty impressive.
I was told they were re manufactured Bosch injectors that had never been used. We are going to try to get ahold of the company to checked them to see if they can send some new ones.

The three hour drive home in the SNOW was not enjoyable, luckily it only snowed for about 50 miles and did not make a mess of the roads.


Another silver lining, after watching injectors go in and out FOUR TIMES, I think I may be able to tackle this job on my own if I had the tools..

We are meeting a firefighter friend from Stillwater, OK (DTR member oktf1black.........who I met on another ATV ride in Arkansas)..............at a place called "Crossbar Ranch" near Davis, OK. That is next to Turner Falls and it has 6500 acres!!! http://www.crossbarranch.com/

I haven't been there yet but looking forward to trying it out. And, he is bringing down that Honda Rancher I bought for Jana.

There is one other girl (nurse) from Allen, TX joining us too. You and Billie are more than welcome if you want to come and are not committed elsewhere.

Haven't been there yet, can't wait to hear the report.
I still don't have a hitch in my truck yet. I did buy one and it just showed up via the brown truck on Tuesday (I finally sold my Smarty , was waiting to have cash in hand)
I am going to Alvarado tomorrow. Someone talked me into dragging my behind out of the rack early on a Saturday to have breakfast with them in Burleson. Apparently, they want to drool over the awesomeness of a Ford PS

That's about perfect for you Charlie, I think you only have one working ear.

Anyone want a ranchhand black diamond plate tool box cheap (free)? Has a few holes drilled in it from where my CB mounts were and a few underneath where I had eyebolts sticking out the bottom to tie straps to. Needs a new hinge too, but it is in pretty good shape. Oh, it is steel, weighs a ton.
Took it out of the Dodge and it is taking up space in my garage. I can bring it to Alvarado.
