Well, dispite it being a 32' the way mine is laid out it would only be good for 2 people.

 

You'll have to charge higher rent since each person gets more square footage.

Basically like my trailer. Only does about 2 people comfortably. Never fold down the table to a bed...otherwise it could be three (if they were short).

 

Oh wow...all this time and finally.

MY 1000TH POST!

 

Thats a good idea, $75 a night, no garuntee that the water storage tanks or pump works and if there isn't any power at the "shed" then don't expect more than half the lights, but we can use the 8-track player/radio.

 

if i get to stay ill help how i can. otherwise ill just sleep in FRANKENTRUCK. gotta get ready for the following weekend when i head to iowa.

 

So who's going to Ardmore tonight?

Looks like I'm headed that way this afternoon/evening. Just depends on when we get away from home.

 

So far.... myself, and 2-3 trucks from the 'Bennington Bunch'! Brian has been challenged by Matt Folsom, to a 6 speed heads up, and said he is working on getting out of a conflict in schedule. But I think he may be worried about loosing. Just a guess on my part!

checkin in again, i wish i could make the event in Ardmore..... its only like 460 miles..... haha.

but the reason i am really checkin in, looks like its water pump time for me. i have a nasty leak, maybe half a cup per shut off?? maybe less. i think its leaking from the shaft seal but dont have a mirror to check....

i went to "carquest" here in town and the pump is only $80 that just blew my mind. seems super cheap to me. YAY!

questions. looks like there are only two bolts holding it on. so i am assuming with my "simple" hand tools and tool kit that i have i should be able to tackle no problem? also about how much coolant will be lost in the operation?

any pointers? THANX fellas.

 

This should be interesting.

 

two bolts is all that holds it on. need a 1/2 " drive ratchet or break over bar for the tensioner. pull belt off of altenator pull bolts out of pump clean sealing surface put new pump on. you can do it. second set of hands helps when trying to get the belt on and off. also you may have to drain the radiator down a little, can't remember for sure.

 

I think im going to replace my waterpump at 110K when I do my drain/refill on the radiator. Serpentine too. I'd rather replace them at a time and place of my choosing than wait for a failure. And, like Max said...they seem pretty cheap. Cheap enough to make it a "maintenance" item every 100-120K or so.

Does that sound logical....or is it wasting money?

..

 

Who showed? What happened?

 

That's just not even right!

I'm heading to Rocky Ridge to go camping/4 wheeling so I had to go back to the house yesterday to pick up everything... So I lost by forfiet I guess?? Need to start planning these things a little better than tuesday week of!


Installed my old shifter back in the truck yesterday... Needless to say much happier with the shifting of the truck again... The combination of the DD clutch and the short throw was not good! too much effort to get into gear from stop and shifting... Worked great with a single, just too much now... Put 300+ miles already on it since yesterday and it is going to stay this way...

So anybody want to buy a NV5600 short throw!

 

PM'ed ya' Brian

So I guess it's just me and Charlie and 1SlowVE? Is everybody sleeping in their trucks?
