    Well, the bun and the fries would knock anyone in ketosis right out of it. Not that it's bad, just takes several days to get back into it and the cravings for sweets/carbs are intense the next morning.

    Trust me, I take it right to the edge a couple times a week but I have a pretty strong idea of how many bad carbs I can eat before I'm having to start over.

    @ShooterK2 love ya man but photoshop fixed engines don't run very well lol







    In all seriousness though, I hope you take a couple of the dollars you saved on that luck and buy at least one lottery ticket. That could (actually "should") have been so much worse.

    As for the "cause", as others have said, I'm betting most likely a bad valve right from the manufacturer and it decided it was done in your driveway.

    Ain't that some real s$$t, I love those shows where the young couple both have average blue collar jobs then they have a half million budget for their "vacation" home.

    Those shows...

    The few I ever saw made me want to vomit.

    ON THIS EPISODE OF HOUSE HUNTERS

    "The 3500sq/ft 4 bedroom 3 Bath house we have now just isn't big enough. We're about to have our first child so we're really going to need the extra room for our growing family. Our budget should get us the 6 Bedroom 5 Bath house on 15 Acres required to raise entitled crotch fruit."

    So I never worked on one or towed one. But at MATS one year before they built them they had on display there transmission and it was auto, light weight and provisions for 3 pto's. It was a neat set up. But idk if that ever made production. Some of you guys may know better. The IH 9000 cab was well built. 5500,9400,9900, then the 4300. But it went to S-Town with the ProStar. Funny is that cab was the new 4300 in 2000. Only problem was door hinges. No hold back straps. This became a problem on the passenger side or the wreckers because general public are to stupid to hold on to the door in a windstorm. Just fling it open. So they had no fix. I took the fabric hold backs that were standard on the square 4300, cut the door panel and made a bracket to the cab. Good cab till they put it in Class 8 and glued a pop up roof on. I've seen colanders hold water out better.
