    Hey Pharm,

    What I meant was finding a guy that is your "buddy" and a friend. The mechanic I had treated me like I was his son. Its sounds as though you did find someone like that! Right on!

    Finally got my freightliner, I am installing cb,steroeo, inverter, gps,sirius- i have it in my car and cannot do with out it! Ripped all of the carpet, nothing like 11 year old stinky carpet. That was pretty labor instensive had to remove both seats and the seatbelt bolts in the floor. I was seriously temped to by a new seat since I had it out already(too much $$$ now, wife would have been upset!) I put in some leftover vinyl flooring we had and then a 3 foot section of new carpet in front of the bunk. It now looks like I have pavers in the front of my truck!!!

    All of my insurance posted on firday for my DOT authority shoiuld have it in a few weeks. Ordered my door decals and such.
    Do you have IRP plates? I am filling out the application and they want me to estimate milliage for each state!! How the hell am i susposed to know! What did you put down?

    No one asked me to estimate, and I didn't have to fill out any form either. Just went down to the DMV and answered some questions verbally to the lady. They have a standard system for the first year.

    Got pics JasontheRock?? We like 'em!

    Had the part of the handbook already downloaded, I was using it only as a reference to the instructions on the forms! Boy I am a dummy..thats like lookin for your glasses when there sittin on top of your head! Thanks wallygator.

    I ll have some pictures soon, she's' getting restless, she wants to be under a trailer! Haves some more cleanin to do. the guy that had it before me kept his fluid bottles in the center storage compartment, so there is oilly fliud residue everywhere, gotta clean it out cause its gross and it stinks, its all underneath the rubber pad. I also want to scrub every inch of the interior (god knows what the hell else is stick to the walls and everywhere else).



    thanks.

    Pharm, if you get into any more jams or just get bored, don't hesitate to pick up the phone and call me.
