    Tell you how screwed up the cat store here is.....i get an invoice in the mail for $260. I don't have an account there, always pay cash. Called them to ask, they say I called couple weeks ago and ordered my rocker arm......Um no, I called and asked how much one cost. The parts guy took it upon himself to order one and bill me for it ! Told the lady "now you know why I only pay cash". I buy through the KW dealership to get their discount.

    Morning fellas!

    Wife said she cleaned 6 inches of snow off the car this morning. They sure are getting hit hard up there.

    ND has no travel advised listed for almost the entire eastern half of the state, SD is most wet/slippery or snow covered.

    And the wind is apparently pushing 40-50 mph.

    I'm actually genuinely glad I'm stuck here in Texas and I don't have any idea why. Except for the fact it's only 52°F here and rainy now. Bit of a shock from the 85°F I went to sleep at.

    Drove a few of them F series in years past, as well as GM & International products. Always enjoyed split shifting a 2 speed, little more to it than some think....

    I been buying a few things (engine related) at the local Freightliner dealer off exit 1 as you come into WV from KY. Surprising what they carry in stock.
