  1. Oh really, thats pretty cool. Well we started in Sydney for about 3 days then to Wellington for a few days, my brother is studying abroad in Wellington for a semester. Then went and rented a car and traveled all around the South Island in New Zealand for about a week.-Jordan-
  2. Nope not with all the crap my body and bones have been through in the past few years lol -Jordan-
  3. Ha ha ha, that was good-Jordan-
  4. Thanks KATOOM for the link, thats exactly the old link i had but i just couldnt remember the site. As far as fluid goes we have some Castrol Syntec 75w90 at work that Im going to look up the info and specs on to see if i want to run it or not, and see if it already has the friction modifier in it or not.-Jordan-
  5. Heres a few pics and a link to all the rest http://s27.photobucket.com/albums/c182/gmetalinteg/New%20Zealand/?albumview=slideshow -Jordan-
  6. Ive lost some links to stuff whenever i got a new computer here a little while back, needing to know what kind and how much gear oil for my front and rear diffs. I think i used to have a link to a chart or somethings listing the amounts and types of fluid for the whole truck. Dana 60 in the front 80 in the rear. Thanks for the help-Jordan-
  7. Yea I didnt have enough time to figure it out myself that day anyways, i had to be at the doc in about 20 minutes when it happened and i was still about 10 minutes out from the doc lol-Jordan-
  8. Yea im still running plenty of psi running through the stock set up so this isnt a 1/4 draw straw issue its just a faulty sending unit. But the Hellman sump would be nice to get someday!-Jordan-
  9. Well good news and bad news, the bill is cheap but you always feel like an idiot when u run out of fuel! Apparently in the past month or so my fuel gauge has become quite a bit inaccurate because it was at 1/4 when it died And ive been down to 1/8 and even the low fuel light a time or two, so other than $30 worth of diesel i owe the shop nothing but ill be ordering the fuel level sender tonight! lol-Jordan-
  10. I know the owner of the shop and him and his wife are practically family and know all of his mechanics. He'll tell me the codes and if i have any doubts i can go out to the truck and hook the scanner up myself.-Jordan-

  17. Well I have an Associates in auto mechanics and have worked as an Auto Tech for the local electric coop for about 5 years now. Also help farm on the side driving a 4930 spray rig for a local farmer as well as haul grain to Fort Worth as well since i have my class A cdl. Lastly me and a buddy lease about 100acres that we usually keep some cattle on and cut hay on part of it as well.-Jordan-

  19. It broke down on me today, was going down the highway, it started to lose power and white/blue smoke real bad (not sure what i was more concerned about getting off the 4 lane highway i was on than paying attention to the smoke lol) then before i could get pulled over it died and would not restart. No codes with the key trick, had it towed to a well trusted shop and theyre gonna get to it first thing in the morning, i was headed to a doc appt and didnt have time. Not to mention with my schedule here lately i wouldnt have time to work on it of i wanted to. We'll see tomorrow i guess.-Jordan-
  20. Still looking for one, its kinda rainy right now i could go for it on some nice green grass I guess . I dont know what their pay scale is down here yet, ive been meaning to ask what minimum wage is and everything here. More outrageous prices for ya. 6 pack of Guinness is $18 and a 12 piece package of the Ferrero Rocher choclate candy truffle things is $16.49! Beautiful country and im glad i got to visit it but i dont know if i could live here! The only thing thats pretty close to the same price is fuel, diesel is a little under $6 a gallon -Jordan-
  21. ha ha i havent seen one yet but i probably do need to check lolAnd yes it is true the water in the toilet does spin the opposite way of the toilets in the US -Jordan-
  22. Welcome aboard!-Jordan-
  23. Well a few things ive learned while over in Australia, if u want to quit smoking just move over here its $16 a pack, and the elevators over here would be no where close to legal in the U.S. they rival the Tower of Terror in speed ha ha. The prices on alot of other things over here would blow your mind too, $46 for a whole frozen turkey!-Jordan-
  24. Thanks guys, as far as internet goes if u can find wifi most of the time you have to pay per amount you use or for certain time periods so i dont know how often ill be on, and dont worry i brought plenty of cash just hope i dont spend it all!! lol-Jordan-
  25. Yall woulnt see me on here until probably about the 22nd of April, why you ask? Well Im headed to New Zealand and Australia for 2 weeks!!-Jordan-
