Sort of off topic a bit, but the F35 is crap.
I get that from the pilots. It won't turn. Not enough wing. It's another F4 Phantom. What it doesn't do in turning performance it makes up for in avionics, but as a dog fighter going up against a third world Mig 21, it just might get its hide tanned. For stuff like that send in the F16 and kill the suckers, make some aces, pin some metals and let the mags talk about the technological wonder of the F35

So.... Pitman arm $85 Fresh F-150 Steering box $525 HD Drag link and tie-rods probably $200 in materials. Steering column and connections to box $100 minimal.
Full Hyd steering $1200 Hmmmmmm Simplicity of design and functionality....priceless.
Which then begs the question... A Dana 60 Dodge front axle is worth like $1200 around here all day long. A 14 Bolt rear axle maybe $150. I have to cut apart the 60 anyway so....
If I bought some brand new tube, did some fab work, why couldn't I build a 14 bolt front axle for the same or less?
Just thinking out loud here...
dID ANYONE MENTION THE FACT THAT IN A FRONT AXLE CONFIG, THE 14 BOLT IS MADE TO RUN ON THE WEAK SIDE OF THE GEAR. i CAN'T RECALL THE NUMBERS, BUT RUNNING IT (POWER) TO THE COAST SIDE WAS A PRETTY GOOD NUMBER LESS THAN RUNNING THE GEAR ON THE POWER SIDE. sO SINCE YOU LOSE STRENGTH AND A LOT OF GROUND CLEARANCE, i'D SAY THE hpd60 IS YOUR BEST BET. Did I just really type all that with the caps locked? Well, screw it, I'm leaving it, don't want to retype. Norm, I have that 1995 F350 HPD60 King pin housing carrier, with 4.56 gears and the forged 35 spline axles. I put that together for the D-Max truck I guess I have the whole ruff stuff link front suspension sitting there in a box as well. Might help your cause...Let me think about if I might use that for the Dirty-Max truck

One way to tell which is which. If it has heat it's a house or a shop, no heat it's a shed or a barn. If it has a loft it's a barn, if it has no loft but 4 walls it's a outbuilding. If it doesn't have 4 enclosed walls it's automatically a shed even though often called a barn. (loafing barn as an example) Outbuildings can be sheds if they are just for storage, then the one open wall isn't a requirement to be a shed. LoL
A grainery is used to store and move grain, a crib is used to dry corn yet on the ear, a grainery can be used to process ear corn to just grain...sometimes these are called elevators, but only if they have a leg. Then you have the annex, which is far different than the crib and is used to store grains.
I have some sort of hybrid going on My shed has heat, sort of. Has a loft and a roof to be sure, and it's closed up. I think it's part shop, part house, but have to call it a shed to keep the prying eyes of the guberment from inspectin' it... Then the barn has one side kinda fallin' in, so I guess it could be a barn transitioning to an out building. But I have a fallen down and somewhat bush-hogged chicken coup. I think that is just a pile of trash, but who knows, might be a ...

Ok in Neb speak...
Shed: Wooden, leaky roof probably once used to store or house tractors/animals/equipment. We have 3 sheds on this property..one is pure kindling.
Garage: A building that keeps hail and snow off of things. So a shed with daily use LoL We have one of these with a dirt floor. It will hold maybe 6 cars/trucks. Or two daily drivers and a boat and lawn equipment, golf cart, Razor and assorted other stuff.
Barn: Well it's a barn LoL
Well, according to this, I no longer own a barn and a shed I think I own either two sheds or a house and a shed I'm confused

Don how's the repeatability on the break down and reassembly? Minute of scumbag (coon) accurate?

The fact that you take the thing apart and reassemble it doesn't seem to affect bullet POI at all. Of course the ranges (50 feet) are such that a small change would not affect minute of mouse accuracy. I did watch a vid where a gentleman fired several 10 round groups, each after taking apart and reassembling, and there was no change to speak of

My hardy thank you to all who sent gifts, money, or prayed for these folks. If you want to participate still, I'll keep this open until the end of the month. I plan on zeroing out the account to pay rent for one or both of them.
But please do not (anyone) feel guilty for not giving. This does not work that way.
If I may, Father. God places needs on different peoples hearts. When you feel like you really should get involved in something, then you should pray and ask if the spirit is telling you to do something. If the feeling persists, well, if I were you, I'd heed the call.
Remember you can't out give God. I guarantee you, something very good is coming back to you, but don't give because you want something. Give because you are being faithful and obedient to the call of our Lord.
Another way of looking at it, is if you were prompted to give, then obviously God has placed in your hands the ability to give. Everything is his, everything.
But after praying and getting quiet about giving you don't hear or feel that prompting, then don't give, there is no need to. You see, Father God did not abandon these girls. He made my wife, then me, then all of you aware of the situation, then placed on your heart the desire to do something. And you did. So in reality, God had, and has his people covered. These girls are on his heart. It may be their time, I don't know, but I know we were supposed to play a part in this.
So this Christmas, know in your heart that you made a real tangible difference in the lives of these two families.
Don't know about you, but I am blessed already
I feel good!

Well, the oldest is now 13 and the youngest just turned 11. I gave my oldest a phone when she turned 12. When I gave it to her, I told her that what I was handing her was as dangerous as one of my pistols. It had the power to ruin her life and that nothing she does or says on that phone should be considered private. I've disabled everything other than calls and texts, but still that's enough to get her in trouble.
She needs it to communicate with us as she's involved in a lot of after school activities like dance, debate, Nat'l Jr Honor Society, etc. Last week she leaves it on the bench at school when being picked up. We went back and it was gone. I tried to activate find my phone but it was not installed onthat phone. Fortunately someone turned it in at the office. So I was updating software and installing anc activating Find My Phone and decided to do my fatherly duty and review all her pictures and texts. Found a friend that was texting her about sending dirty jokes.
My daughters downfall was not telling her friend not to send them. Instead she said, send it and then I'll delete it and that her battery was about dead so she would respond and let her know when to send it.....
So....I texted her friend as though I was my daughter and told her to send it. It was innocuous "don't foget to blow up the beach balls" I guesss getting the word "balls" in a joke was dirty for them.
So I called my daughter out on it and she knew she was wrong and knew she should have told her friend not to send jokes. I also reinforced that nothing on that phone is private and she should talk to her friend and tell her she got in trouble and that she would appreciate her not sending anymore jokes. Ofcourse my daughter wanted to text her and I said, no. You need to talk to her face to face in person.
I also told her that if I caught her again (and I'd be checking) that she'd lose her phone and ability to particpate in after school activities.
Have you guys dealt with this? how did you handle it?
Are there any sofware that logs all keystrokes and text messages?
In a school near here Sexting is the big trap the girls fall into. It happened with one of my girls. Went to church with the other family. So we nipped it in the bud like immediately. Saved both of them. But another friend's daughter got all caught up in it as well. He is strong enough to handle it, and has had success getting her back on track Phones, computers, texting, skyping, gaming...all of that has potential pitfalls. Bring them up in the ways of the Lord and they will come home to what they know and have been taught.

You wouldn't believe how many majors and LTC's who used to tell me the same thing. Some actually did. Nasty guard is easier to do that. So many of the warrants there used to be Captains. Gotta tell ya, in the majority of the Army today (Not so much in spec ops) it is hard to stay near the troops, which is the reason real leaders want to serve. Staff what? No, give me an objective and I'll move out smartly I didn't opt for W5 for that reason. I had finagled a Company SIP position as a senior W4. I should have been beyond Battalion, likely up in brigade somewhere, but I was still leading assaults in my last days. But the CW5 promotion was coming with a move to Rucker to the Chinook SIP for the entire US Army. That's a desk which I'd never leave. I opted out... Then God smiled on me. Flew commercial airliners for a spell (Boring) but when the wars started, why they needed experienced combat pilots once again, and guess what??? That's my story. I could have been a Colonel, but getting there with all the politics and staff jobs, no thanks senor' I wanted troop time and trigger time, and an opportunity to populate hell with the enemies of this nation, and, well, let's just say I had a good run of it... Troop time my friend...Or contact me privately someday...

Now, I drove the VW 3.0 Turbo Diesel with 405 ft/lbs. That little dude which is similiar in weight (AWD) as this midi truck would fly. I mean it was surprisingly quick. on ramps were fun again. I'd say it might give my C-Max with 1000+ ft/lbs a run for the money
Translation: This little truck that could be is going to be pretty sporty.

10 second search found this:
2.8L Duramax Colorado Canyon Tuning w /License
+50HP and 80Ft-lbs w/Tuning only
4-position Switchable on-the-fly!
Durmaxtuner.com has wasted no time ramping up with our new 2.8L Duramax options!
The 2.8L Duramax in its factory trim is rated at 180 HP by GM and carries a full compliment of emissions equipment to keep it clean and quiet. Backing up the new powerplant is the 6L50 transmission. Both the engine and transmission use existing powertrain control modules which have allowed the team at Duramaxtuner.com to quickly gain access and make improvements. Over the past several months, we've worked with our customers and in-house on our truck to develop and test tuning for this platform. After hundreds of revisions, we're happy to have a product that significantly outperforms GM's calibration in power, driveability and mileage.
By working through the engine and transmission calibrations together we significantly widened and raised the factory torque curve, settling on a peak of 460Ft-Lbs which is very near the rated capacity of the transmission. With the wider torque curve, we're able to shift the truck sooner, and engage torque converter lockup sooner without bogging the truck. This means less operating RPM and ultimately lower fuel consumption numbers. Best of all, these calibrations work without any other modifications to the truck, meaning that you still get a quiet, clean, smokeless truck that can be returned to stock at any point.

Yea, this is gonna be a little sleeper.
Like all diesels, a tune won't be 12 extra horsepower. No, more like +50HP and +150 torque
The tunes are already flying for this truck. I think they are in the 500-600 torque already on a pretty sane tune with better fuel economy as well
