    Just put a new cac cooler on 3 days before pulling the turbo but after it started acting up and sounding funny, pressure test found it leaking so initial thought was that was the reason for the sounds and problems. Ended up not being but the hope at least is the old one caught all the shrapnel, anything it didn't catch will have already made its way into the engine as I took it on a trip between changing it and finding the turbo to have #### the bed like it did. Initial diag was a failing actuator not a chewed up wheel.

    And yes the turbo and cac boot should have had a rag poked in them but I'll be sure to make sure it's nice and clear before actually starting the engine.

    Rinse it with Kokanee beer, brewed with fresh mountain water, right in the Kootenays, and bigfoot approved :)

    GPS wants you to run the thruway it's about 15-20 miles longer. I run up 370 to 104 and hit my favorite mom and pop greasy spoon for a Bacon egg and cheese on a hard roll

    Wife had problems with her left knee for a while. Sold her Harley and ended up having surgery on the knee. Got to feeling better and bought a drop top VW beetle with a 5 spd. Ended up hurting her knee and was down for over a week not able to drive the VW.

    She’s been driving my Duramax for months now, but doesn’t like driving it because the size, and she has to step up and step down to get in and out.

    Been looking at used vehicles against my gut feeling, and a few new cars. Even stopped at the Ford lot as well as the Mopar lot. She finally made a decision on a vehicle that fits her and she likes.

    I parked in the turn lane of route 60 last night on my way home from delivering in Kentucky, and signed the paperwork for her new car. She fell in love with a new 2022 GMC Terrain, White trimmed in black. Probably be her last new car, she plans on retiring next year or so and just staying home most of the time….

    We will be heading over to Cottondale, FL to wait for the storm to go through. Originally it was 10 of us with hurricane supplies. Water, MRE's, food, cleaning supplies, personal cleaning boxes, tarps etc...We also had a major chain saw company, think orange, volunteer chain saws and fuel/oil crates. That truck is full and ready to go as we "speak". Depending on need, we have 5 flat beds that can be loaded with lumber or anything else and come in this weekend.

    Keep Florida in your thoughts in the coming days, they are in for a big blow.

    That's good on you. Maybe an assortment of cell phone charger cables would come in handy too. Good luck

    Good to see y'all made it!! :thumbup:

    Was look'n like we were gonna take a direct shot from hurricane Ian here in the Tampa bay area. Boarded up, & sand bagged the house as she's blow'n 155mph now, with 20" of rain expected..

    Last update says she's may turn east sooner & blast Ft. Myers, still catching southern Manatee county. I'm in Northern Manatee. Don't wish this monster on anyone, & those folks may be less prepared than us as was not predicted to get em.. :confused:
