Important

Not been a good morning, so far. Discovered that I need a new water pump on the Dodge, 600 miles from home. Local parts shop had one on the shelf for $38.

My brother is having a worse morning, blew a hydraulic fitting on the cherry shaker after only 30 minutes this season. 3+ hours of down time.

My cousins boy got his learners permit today. Gonna pick him up on my way to the badlands and introduce him to wheeling. My aunt has promised him her 03 TJ if he graduates with at least a B average. I'm gonna let him do some easy stuff, like dunes and some small obstacles and see if i can add another jeep fiend to the family! :D
 
That nice of you Aaron

He's a good kid, i wanna help keep him that way. Hell, he's 15 and has a fulltime job working at a day camp all summer. I want to get him introduced to something out of his normal suburb life and hopefully he'll keep his grades high so we can go put that Jeep to the test.
 
Okay... Blue Oval brigrade... was down at the local dealer, kinda looking at trucks.

Found a 94 F-350 with the 460. Yea, I know the arguments about getting a diesel. But I put a total of 7k on my vehicles the last year. I just wouldn't gain enough economy from one.. to justify the extra care and feeding of a diesel.

Anyhow.. I was really kinda looking for an auto, so the wife could drive it if she needed it. The truck is listed as an auto on the dealers website.. I get there.. and lo and behold its a manual. So which tranny is the OD tranny, and is it any good?



Well they changed the list sometime today... Here is the truck...

I've heard this but never knew if it was true. Is it the pretty blue and yellow box that makes it twice the price?


When Advance added Moog to thier line of chasis parts. The had a company come in with a box full of Moog boxes. Took a lot of the TRW stuff out of the box put it in a yellow Moog box and put the Moog number on it.

Same stuff different box.
 
This weekend officially started my local fair season. Unofficially eight Summer Shandy's will give you cotton mouth before you even "start" the night which puts a damper on everything else, probably for the best.
 
The above post was #1700. I will never catch any of the post whore's nor do I aspire to. I realize my posting has tapered off (as well as my red letters) for the time being, I have other much more pressing things in life than my heep at the moment. Though you will not be getting rid of me anytime soon :D

I get the cheap one :)

Didn't even shoot the 91/30. The M39 shot a 4" grouping @ 100 yard with iron sights and crappy russian ammo.
It's capable of more than I am.
MOOG or TRW ball joints? yea, I know, spend double the money for MOOG.

Got home last night after poker leauge, (finished 4th), and the neighbor walked up the drive telling us of a van that stopped between our houses and dropped a guy off then the van took off. The guy then walked up their drive towards the windows of their garage, he was spooked when he didn't see her out smoking. he ran off, she called dispatch and we locked the garage/house for the first time in 4 1/2 years.

I told T to put the keys in her truck and park it by the road. :D

There's been a rash of car break ins in my town. Kids mostly.

Oh, and the new Moog sucks. I did "mevotech" joints in the camry from rockauto. So far so good.

it should be a ZF5, same as what the diesel trucks had, just a different bellhousing.
