    My CAC came from that store in Joplin. If you recore the radiators get at least a 4 row

    Well, it’ll be about 2 of those by the time we’re through - but I see your point!

    Where did I get that advice - “Do everything while you’re in there”. ??

    Seems I’ve never been on a tow hook yet.

    That's the sensuous rebuild strategy. "Sense you is up in there anyways might as well fix that too"

    That’s probably the best way - rather than repeat the circus later on.

    Sewer pump quit yesterday - nothing like a half a day on your knees in your own crap to humble you - and

    The mower decided today was a good day to snap a belt.

    I’ve moved on to cooking and beer. Much safer.

    Through in a new turbo, labor and one truck payment and your even.

    plus the longer you keep the truck the more you know about it and you are able to stay ahead on maintenance
    I think I have been in every system and part on my truck and wouldn’t do it any other way, but I buy new trailers
