    Have to change your handle to Jeep Trail Dump Truck. It's fun. Although this afternoon coming up the hill after three trucks have been hauling for 3 days, rears in low and all locked up and 5 on the low side she was like one of those bull riding things in a western bar. O-o-k-I'm-r-rr-r-r-r-re-a-a-a-d-y-t-t-t-t-o-o-oo-b-b-b-e-do-o-o-o-n-n-n-n-e-e-e.

    18 years for me this past January, but when I quit, food tasted better and was harder to resist. :) Trying to eat like a bird again. :)

    November 26th it will be 13 years of not smoking compared to 38 years of smoking. 2 packs a day at the end. Quit cold turkey, tried everything else, it didn't work. Just said enough.

    Decent $ there. Enough to keep a guy comfortably numb through the winter with a couple of big incidents. "Mechanic w/service truck" is a good gig. I haven't seen a rate list for this year, but last year it was $1,600/day base.

    Love home made root beer. Easy on the bubbles, heavy on the root. Yum.

    Oh I know the feeling lol, food got to tasting better for me too. There was a time I could step between the wall studs on a new construction and never touch them….

    Great Wednesday mornin everybody.

    I've got this going on. I'm assuming a liner o ring, but I'll have to drop the pan to find out. Not going out the overflow, so no compression in the cooling system

    My engine doesn't use but a half gallon every 10k, so i don't pull the filler cap much. I've had a slow coolant leak at the water pump top fitting since i bought this, but since i replaced the radiator and CAC in early April i haven't had to add coolant.

    Had to add a gallon 10 days ago in Coos Bay, but thought nothing of it with the small leak. Got home last Wednesday and noticed this when i added a half gallon.

    Parts availabilty isn't looking good, and pricing has increased 50% since i last bought an overhaul a year and a half ago.
