Mine did that to his 66 Galaxie 500 hardtop, light pole. still took him a few more years to quit the sauce, but that was back in the late 70's. he's been a diet coke guy now since 85.

TRN, you'd better chime in here soon or it's going to be DOT classic car nostalgia corner rather than the bus thread!

These guys are salesmen for the most part, but call center types, medical supplies, software, one kid was from hard parts for dealerships, so he's got some promise, but most of the 5 are entitled, millennial, sanders supporters with bad hair cuts.

Woke up around 0400 to get into work at 0500 to train newbies. This will be interesting. 11 years of differential experience crammed into 5-6 weeks to get them phone ready.

Bushing's I don't have there BD. Seals I have in spades, but I missed what you were looking for? PM or email me direct. bhudson@ringpinion.com

Now that's funny.

Just payin' a compliment. I know you'd been working at getting healthy. Your Brits looking good too! I miss my Grandpa's Springers; they would hold the birds so well, we'd often take turns walking up to kick them to get them in the air. Great dogs those pointers, although I can't complain about my brush busting tank of a lab either.

Just posted a new video on gear tooth contact patterns. Any of you with any real world experience setting up differentials know that it is more of an art form than a science, but I hope this helps clear up some general questions.

I was asking about the xrays because I thought part of the process you were going through was the removal of the bone spurs, but I guess those were some of the pieces they were referring to?

Could also be the LEO's are being fed false information from higher up on the food chain, leading them to believe that taking them out was the only option etc etc. I'd like to believe that the majority of them were just following orders. I think the takedown was tactical; given the "militia's" status, it would make sense to effect the stop in an area where there would be no cell service to sever communications as best as possible, it just makes sense. I'm sure Nate or Bobby or Don would back me up on that. Sad all around though, and feds are likely the head of the snake here, just using the locals.

Full Metal Jacket

Inglorious Bastards for comic value.

Just won a little sales contest.

Also found this today and I have to say, I need one.

I suppose it makes sense to prioritize forward motion before economy, lol.

My home kitchen is similar in size, I just wish I had a sanitizer and full tile floor w/ central drain to hose down;-) I'm sure you're right on the single cut choice, but this is just what they get into the restaurant and I have no exemplar to compare to. Guess I'll just have to do some up myself and run a taste test!

Tell the EPA to Withdraw Its Proposal to Prohibit the Conversion of Vehicles Into Racecars:
This will affect all of us. They will essentially make it illegal to modify any vehicle for any reason that sidesteps their emissions controls. If this were to go through, it would have a trickle down effect, killing the entire aftermarket and used parts industry! Please take a moment to sign the petition.

If this needs to be moved to a different forum, please do so.

Mowed the "grass" Sunday. Neighbor asked if he could pay me $20 to hit his yard too, (older guy and I've got the rider, so I offered to just take care of him). Let no good deed go un-punished; they were having a garage sale, and a 90's Nissan hard body was parked across the street. somehow, with the bags on and the guard down I threw a rock through the fence, bent the shot around a fir tree and clocked his driver's window with his daughter in the passenger seat. No one was injured, and the local pic n pull had a window assembly for $50. In hindsight, I should have taken the $20, ::)

hey, I know you can make your own Q, but sometimes you have to concede and get it from somewhere else.

so in other words posting this pic will not be nice......... ;D

OMG that pink on the outside looks totally raw! (said no one that eats bbq ever). that's a mean smoke ring there fella. well done.

PNW. we get enough rain to have this green stuff, grass it's referred to in some circles.

We have one daughter and one son. That being said, we have 8 kids. somehow, my son is a misfit magnate, probably having something to do with his difficulty making friends when we moved up to the rural community from a busy city, and his severe ADHD at the time. These kids accepted him, behavior issues and all where others wouldn't. ALL of them have deadbeat, drunk, junkie parents, or live with grand parents, or live with friends and no parents. We have spent the last 8 years raising them as we did our own as they would come to us with "school problems, homework help, dad's drunk again, mom's slapping me around, I think I might be pregnant, I'm drinking a lot and I think I might be depressed, dating problems" and on and on. We never turned them away, we scolded and disciplined them when necessary, helped with homework, fed them, gave them a safe place to stay, but made them follow rules. We have 3 that have graduated, 2 with good union jobs, one working on his own and supporting himself through landscaping and odd jobs, a few more looking to graduate this year, including our son, and sadly, one suicide. (we still feel at fault for not recognizing it sooner). There have been fights, cuss outs, years of separation where they were banned from stepping foot in our house, but last month we had them all out for dinner for Sam's 18th birthday, and it was truly heartwarming and inspiring. Every one of them could recount the many things we had done for them in the past, where they looked back and realized they were grateful that they hated us for a while, and also felt guilt at the loss of their friend. My wife works double 4-10's for the most part from home. I work full time and part time. Our kids HAVE to help out to keep the home running, and I hope that they don't have to work as hard, but I also hope they understand the value of it. Meaning I hope they make pathways for themselves, through hard work, that allow them more time with their families, and less stress. I don't think it's bad to want better lives for our children, but I do feel it's our responsibility to show them how to get there. Good for you that step in and say/do something. Maybe it's my youth, but it's hard to get enough respect for the avg teenager to not tell me to f-off let alone listen to me, but I'm not shy about calling them out on their bs either. The old adage, "it takes a village", needs to be amended to read, "it takes a village that gives a S$%@!, and if you can't find one, move."

I've performed the same technique before as well. A word of caution though; depending on how much air is in the ABS system, it can and will force air into the brake lines. jump on it a few times, get the ABS to purge, then repeat the final caliper bleed sequence to be safe. After stomping on it to cycle the ABS, also be cautious on your way home, the pedal can get soft.

if you're still dealing with the brake bleeding, you'll need to bleed at the master first. once air is removed from the master, you'll move onto the ABS unit and follow the abs bleeding sequence (unless Ken corrects me, I believe that this is not possible without a scan tool to run the ABS cycle. Then you can move on to the calipers as the ABS has now forced air into all the lines. RR LR RF LF in that order. Worst thing in the world for me when I was at Les Schwab was letting the darn master cylinder go dry, and having to manually prime the older master cylinders with a screw driver.

I have the window open with bated breath.

you're dealing w/ all the BS the previous owner didn't want to deal with. you're too deep now to back out, so go on full plow. CEL is probably something emissions related now that you've got it up and running for the most part. considering your 4wd disconnect issues, I'm betting vacuum leak which will trip evap codes. glad to hear the flex plate was the simple solution.

Thanks Tate.  Its dangerous that you have my CC on file.  I could just call and say, "Tate, send me a locker for the front and rear of both trucks and some 4:11s for the Bus...." But then I'd have to add a dog house to that order....

tell ya what, you order gears and lockers for both ends on the dually and the bus and i'll build and ship you a very nicely appointed doghouse.

what he said, disable the trac control and see if you get same results.
