D.O.T. / WDYDT (What Did You Do Today)« on: May 11, 2023, 11:15:30 PM »What kind of dorm was she in!! That looks like a fancy houseLol Dave. That’s the rental I’m staying in. Nice little neighborhood. Will rent it again for sure. It’s close to campus and close to where her apartment will be next year. And it’s a few blocks from one of the best restaurants and cigar bars. If my youngest goes to Mizzou I’ll probably buy a house here for them to stay in and see if I can charge some rent from a roommate as well. Oh and the finger is just sprained. She wanted to run to the urgent care center when it happened. I told her if it was still pointed in the same direction and she could move it that it wasn’t broken. She insisted on going to Walgreens for the brace instead of using the tongue depressors and Med tape that I had in her Med kit in her foot lockers. She completely forgot about the go bag and Med kit.

Well that’s a 20 ft trailer….more redneck.
I’m bringing her car home on the trailer. She’s not been good about phoning home so I don’t get a lot of time talking with her. This way I get 13 hours of windshield time with her. Shawn, I looked at storage but it would be cheaper to throw all her stuff out and start over rather than put her stuff in storage for 3 months I think. Dave, you’re right, I probably should take the Bus one time when the wife’s not going with me. I could get there on one fuel. However I’m getting soft and the super cruise self driving on the Denali is pretty hard to beat. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 205

Resurrecting to update a few things.
AC bit the dust. Dessicant bag in the receiver exploded and took out the compressor. Rather than take chances, I replaced everything except the evaporator core since that’s a dash disassembly. OEM compressor, dryer, condenser and hoses. It took 3 quarts of flush to get the evaporator squeaky clean. I also did a complete cooling stack cleaning and pulled the radiator to straighten all the fins by hand. Added a new coolant reservoir and a new S&B intake system while I was in it. Most recently our good friend from Randy’s Ring and Pinion, El Tate, hooked me up with a sweet set up for upper control arms from Icon Dynamics. When I rebuilt the suspension I went first class on everything….except the UCAs, which were OEM Delco and lasted about 60k miles and the ball joints were so loose that hitting rutted pavement on asphalt would make it almost change lanes. Not wanting to take any chances, I pulled it down and put new Moog lower ball joints, greased brake caliper slides and then replaced the upppers. The uppers were well made and included urethane bushings, which now match the energy suspension urethane bushings on the lower control arms. With two new Ridge Grapplers on the front and a new alignment its an amazing difference. While you do feel a little more road feedback from the urethane uppers, I can say that the initial tip in to the corners is more accurate at speed. Those soft bushings would lag the steering input and then correct mid corner requiring slight steering adjustment. These new arms point the truck where your steering input tells it and requires no mid turn adjustment. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk My tank of nitrogen came in handy for flushing 212

Nice job. Good looking truck.
Safety was one reason I bought the dually when I had the fifth wheel. I even bagged it to keep the undulations down in the highway when I had about 3000# pin weight and a bed full of firewood. I found that taking air out of the rear tires made for a lot better ride. I routinely ran 32psi in all four rears when empty. Somewhere here, Steve still has my dually and has played with the turbo a bit. I’d love to hear how that sounds now. I miss that truck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 231

If he had a contract with a local dealer to modify factory new vehicles and put them back on the dealer lot for sale there might be some money in that.
