well, this certainly wouldn't be the first instance of a new part failing prematurely

that is a very important sticker!

did you really think I was going to haul all those leafpacks around by hand? the handcart is coming with me though. need that for bed movin'.

roughly the route I'm taking. plus up from atlanta to detroit and then back down to atlanta. dang uhaul won't let me rent this one point to point. oh well, guess I'll have to hunt for some more parts today was staging. tomorrow I go grab the uhaul trailer and start figuring out how to fit it all in.

snow. tires. also don't drive like a fool.

trailer brakes are generally required for things over 2-3k (varies by state)

need to cut a complicated pattern out of wood or drywall or cardboard? start with paper sheets and tape! just make sure you lightly tape the paper to the glass and strongly tape the papers together so it comes off cleanly and intact. now I've got some blackout panels for the durango I'm camping in next week.

it was a different kit, but yes.

"factory". always gotta put that in quotes since it didn't leave the actual factory like that. still very drool worthy, though not very practical.

it will have a cat, but it's a very simple system. the O2 sensor is upstream of the cat so there isn't a way for the truck to actually monitor the cat. a functional cat doesn't affect power at all so there's no need to remove it. but you wouldn't be the first that hollowed out a bad cat and reinstalled it. but that makes it harder to pass the sniffer so... ymmv.

the max I can fit on the uhaul trailer is 5. and that's stacked in like tombstones.

well, tomorrow I pick up the uhaul trailer and get to loadin' it. a sad day for sure, as I've gotten used to the wall-o-beds next to the barn. but I'm sure I'll be bring home more in the future.

well, how goes the freedom?

for just an instant I thought "hey, I'll be in the area this saturday!" but then I remembered I'm taking I-77 north this trip instead of I-75. probably wouldn't have worked out well anyway due to the sheer amount of bulk I'm dragging with me in the trailer.

worth the effort!

it's been 11 years since this thread was last updated, but let's give it the best shot by @ing him. hopefully he'll get the notification. @billybob_jeep

what time is the night watchman's lunch break? asking for a friend...

having said that, the Hemi tows with ease. although I've not towed more than like 3500 with it so far.

I imagine you can find something good with all that choice. there's a place near me that has 2-3 times that on tap. it's nuts.

I have the 2.8 Italian diesel in my Liberty and it has plenty of power for towing. I'd wager over half it's 200k have been pulling something or another. but it's a much more... delicate flower of an engine than the baby cummins and I always have the threat of dropping a valve hanging over me. but I hope to replace all that stuff this summer so I can then stop borrowing the Durango every time I need to haul a thing.

as long as it's just rainwater and can escape out the drain holes it should be fine. but yeah, I wouldn't be carrying a bunch of nasty things in it for sure.

keep moving that arm. I did for the first one and the soreness was very mild, even the next day. I failed to do it the 2nd shot and my arm was substantially more sore the next day. but even then it wasn't crazy pain and was gone by the end of that next day.

take good care of her. and start hitting the car shows once they start up. the old truck iron gets allll the looks

I find the noises that a diesel produces especially addicting...
