this stuff tastes like Octoberfest distilled into a bottle. too bad we only had the one. but now when mom gets back from the hospital I can tell her that dad and I drank all the beer in the house!

the good news: the shaft has been replaced. the bad news: i pulled the CPS from my spare block easy enough, but the cap head bolt in my current engine stripped quite readily. access isn't easy, as the downpipe and some engine ribbing are in the way of any tools. I probably will need to cut the exhaust out. I always wanted a straight pipe, I guess now is as good as any to make it happen. sigh... whoever thought it was an ok idea to put these tiny headed bolts into an engine block can go to hell.

huh, generally those are 3 digit code and correspond to the explanation beside it. I guess i never even noticed that jdog's printout had different codes. @eaglescout526 's printouts have the old 3 digit codes.

soup. with lots and lots of stuff in it. like, more stuff than water.

very tasty stuff!

well? what's it like to drive them?

stiff shocks can also cause a horrible ride.

yeah, I would have loved to have that the other night. ER waiting areas are not fun places to be.

you're going to love the gearing what size tires are you shooting for?

does it fire up if you try cranking with the trans in neutral?

it's true. some guys need to learn the hard way. this one is quite deadly though, so do try extra hard to learn it the easy way.

looks good just a note though, never ever ever use the ball as a recovery point. just insert your strap into the hitch and use the pin to hold it there.

how perfect is that?!

isn't it fun knowing their birthdays?

I've been giving serious thought to powdercoating a set of turbines. every one I've seen just looks better than new!

now THAT'S november

out of curiosity, what pressure are the tires set at? tech Qs from the OP should probably go in the Tech forum so more eyeballs will see it.

definitely is copper. I would have yanked it for sure if it was aluminum. my running hypothesis was that the disconnect wasn't fully inserted by the installer or some repair guy since. see, the box was mounted to the far side (unit is horizontal) where it was seriously hard to see what you were doing and you were essentially putting it in blind. can't say for sure, it's just a thought. but this time I moved the box to a far better location. easy to see and manipulate.

9 more posts and the classifieds will open up to you.

as it was explained to me, minor is "we're keeping you in ICU to see if it gets better or worse in the next 24 hrs". major is "we're prepping you for surgery".

just the block? or the entire fuel/wire harness too?

she's doing better and is being stepped down to a regular room. will be picking her up in the morning.

I should be able to pick mom up soon. but I can't see the Durango until monday since the yard isn't open weekends.
