    You're only a little over an hr away.

    I'm no mechanic, but the offer stands.

    I'm not quite sure how a Pete hood would look on my little KW, but I reckon we'd give 'er a go and find out:D

    Oh wow, didn’t know you were that close! I’m no mechanic either, parts swapper at best. It’s just much cheaper than a shop, plus most shops are a month out.

    I apologize, I forgot you have a KW. If you did it though, you would have a one of a kind truck! Definitely would be noticed!

    Well, I don’t know how that’s done on big truck wheels, like with a spin balancer, but I know our shop doesn’t have one of those. So, I would imagine not.

    They can use a spin balancer and lead weight, or there's balancing packs that go inside the tire. If the wheel is balanced the centramatics will actually work against it, making it run like it wasn't balanced.

    Haha, that would be fun. I knew Jimmy was close. I go up through his area Monday on my way to Plymouth, Michigan.

    Well, NOW I know that it's a Agouti. I'd 'a just called it a ground squirrel and remarked how funny it looks without a tail.

    When you find a helper, don't get them too drunk, just drunk enough that they decide to come do mine next lol. I've had a new hub sitting in the to-do pile for a while now.

    Hahaha, I did the clutch last year, but I think when she sat for 4 months waiting for the rebuild, the bearing locked up. At least that’s my guess. I have replaced the fan solenoid, the hub is getting air to release the fan. The fan just runs all the time.

    When you get ready to do it, I will come help.
