Not sure if any one else has invested in a  freeze drier or not. Wife and I decided last summer that one would be a good investment after we crunched the numbers on it. Thus far we have been able to freeze dry around 300 pounds of food, many of which are complete meals. We don't throw away leftovers anymore, they go into the freeze drier and get packaged for easy meals on busy weeknights. We can take advantage of sales on perishable items and turn them into long term storage. And to top it off, when comparing costs between commercially and home prepared freeze dried foods, the savings is 75 to 80 percent. 

Does anyone else have any experience with freeze drying?

Hey Guys,

  So the head 5.3 on the Adventure Hoe cracked like every 5.3 of that vintage does, adding a liberal amount of coolant to the engine oil. I would have liked to source a 4bt but time was against me as this is my daily driver as well and I needed a fix ASAP. I was able to source a low mile 6.0L from a 2500hd of the same era. Engine swap went just fine. She fired up on the second crank and runs great considering the ECM still thinks it is a 5.3. Drove it around town for about 30 minutes Sunday night. All smiles from me, then Monday morning, she fired right up, backed out of my parking spot and headed to work. Didn't make out of the parking lot. Literally went less than a block and the tranny started slipping like crazy. Was able to limp back to my parking spot at a gentle 3500 rpm. Thought, well, low on trans fluid. Was showing slightly high. Thinking I may have a pump issue.
Took the advice of one of the tranny guys at work and dropped the pan to make sure the filter hadn't fallen out or cracked during the engine change. No such luck. Changed the filter anyway and filled the tranny back up. Seemed to suck the fluid down this time and wound up adding around six quarts (even though the manual said 5 quarts needed for pan r&i). Still no go.
I am so frustrated with this thing right now I can't think. Any ideas as to other probable causes? Things like this are what are keeping me from updating my build thread!
Thanks in advance !

Like the title says, does anyone have a known remedy for squeaky polyurethane bushings? I recently overhauled the front suspension on my Tahoe, replacing the bushings with poly. I used the provided grease. Everything was great for a month, know I am noticing that I am getting a fairly decent amount of noise going over bumps.

Any help would be much appreciated!
