    That blew my mind. Nor did they do service calls. Said they just don't have the people. I just needed the old bolts warmed up, or burnt out of the holes.

    Instead, I called a road service that showed up with empty torches. Oh well 3 out of 4 bolts got the load to the customer. 4th bolt is on today's list.

    Well the old one is not broken. But rust is getting to it. I was gonna finish bolting it up till I felt like changing it. Decided better to just paint the new one and be done. So these don't exist and can't be bought. But thankfully a buddy that's a fabricator made me a second one, when I folded up the lead axle one. I could have avoided all this if I didn't look at it in the shop and think "one of these days" while drinking a beer. I'm the only one to be blamed. I mean it's 28 years old, how did this happen to me?:D

    Beautiful day here at home. Sometimes tough to see past the clouds, but still nice. Wife brought me lunch, mom brought some stawberry pie.

    Tried pulling the side oil drain plug on my 60 Series and it wouldn't budge. Ended up turning the whole bulkhead and cracked the pan here in the dark. Stupid on me.

    I've got the pan off the WIA here, so no big deal, just frustrating. All great though, work at home so I ain't working on the road. Brakes and drums all the way around, rebuild the fan hub, and replace the 25 yo KW air bags.
