Yep a dash cam, that is the deal for certain. Would it have caught a guy coming from the side like that? Things are getting too weird everywhere. Part I cannot understand is good folks understand all about being respectful, how makes them feel good about themselves to spread good will. Some of these people must be pretty damn bent/ lost inside, I will say that. I think they want fuel prices even higher because they want you on your bicycle or you lectric car. IBMobile, I will sign up for those courses. Thank you for the tip. Andyba20, I will try finding that on Fox Nation. Thanks also

In one day's buying for a new job I'm starting, at two different intersections, I get people that wait for you to get close and then deliberatly surge forward to make you think your about to get hit. Hmm must be a new idea for the people that really hate other drivers. Okay, then get on the freeway and catch a motorcycle doing about 90 coming up between the cars in a 65 zone. During the day I get tailed 3 times people speeding up like Im in their way. Okay delivere my goods onsite and head home on some of the backroads but, 7 miles from home theres two lanes turning left. Now I get a guy turning suspiciously along side me and instead of keeping in his lane he deliberatly tries to hit me. I mean very much on purpose with an old junk truck. I already had a good dose of adrenaline from my hand bleeding and needing stitches from large flashing I had, so out maneuvering this guy was a good sign that I was wide awake. He tried to run me up the sidewalk when he gave up. Please give any comment/ thoughts... seems to me lawlessness is spreading into many areas of America from a Gov't taking our money yet not functioning. How far will this go? I see things getting worse in all directions of America.

Im okay in that dept. I start to slide down the slippery when It comes to just fixing things around my place or on my trucks. Funny, after 22 years daily driving a first gen I still think of my 2 second gens as 'new'. I guess I like it better saving the money but, buying some of the best tools to make projects easier. So I have a truck camper too... why not join IBMobile and me with some of the other guys? We meet fairly often in a pretty nice place to camp. MoparMan won't ever show up... he sees a blonde and his truck breaks down in front of her house.

Pretty cool, pretty cool . I'm stayin' with my 2nd gen old schoolers.

I can only pray that you don't get taken... be prepared to make hangmans knot. I always remember that if they mess it up it usually means excuses for higher charges to you. I cannot stand the hashers I've experienced in my life. They often pay piece rate and you get whats left.

looks good thanks , front's kinda similar to a second gen in a way. What a compliment to the second gens.

what I do is offer to send something for their time on the phone. Often they know eventually they will get your business. Jon is good guy.

Except the birds are chirping like crazy now with the change gone on around his place.

. Don't do anything till you talk to Jon at Dynamic. Since many trans rebuilders don't know as much as Jon he ends up being the best to at least talk to. You may have an electrical issue but, I am shooting in the dark.

Are you going to be the long haired lady again and walk around town?

I hope he's alright maybe he's finally getting his shop built.... I can only guess what he's up to. Either that our scaring everyone in the neighborhood with the 25 foot chicken costume.

I have a suspicion that a lot of parts get farmed out. Companies always have profit margin concerns... company buyers trying to find the less expensive source for keeping their manufactering side supplied with those parts. I don't know how much this goes on... I think some companies are more loyal to their customers, to their employees, so when they say it's made buy our company, that is where it is made according to their standards. There really isn't a way to know. KYB was sold to me convincing me that they are a solidly built shock and solidly built company.

replaced mine 4 times on different trucks. Mine don't get sloppy they just start making a squeeky scraping sound. I think because it rains so much around here or something.

I second that...I have the KYB stock replacements and they are very nice.

You have to get alternators on a test stand before installing. They aren't very trustworthy so especially test for AC ripple/ noise. If they cannot test for that you should go somewhere else to a place that can and aklso understands what that is. Has to be lower than .05 Also if your lift pump is running off the ECM there is a chance of frying the ECM. Your supposed to let the ECM trigger a relay so the lift pump runs off the batteries. I had 2 alts short out and get hot within 6 mos. Now I got one that seems to work fine. I also cleaned grounds everywhere, engine block, etc. and basically put the electrical system in top shape. It's very important. And that factory alternator grounding thru the mounting bracket is a corrosive culprit too. Got to clean the bolt everything about it. I run an independant ground. See article about W-T's really great write up on these trucks. He did us all a great favor.

I just got a stock replacement and it's lasted 54k so far. Still tight. Whatever you do don't lift it. I learned the hard way not to do that. He gets ctreative and solves difficult problems just by pouring more beer.

The Mag Hytech has developed leaks after two trans services in a row. It's a drag cause you go to retighten the bolts and still won't stop leaking. I'm going to have to use the grey silicone on both sides of the gasket next time. The Georend is beautifully made while the Hyteck tries to be pretty.

Due to the expense and the quietness of the Honda EU series Hondas I just bought a second inverter gen, EU 2200i so we can live in the RV when we have a bad storm. I will just have to visit my friends in town every three days to fill up with water. The new Honda has a 30 amp 3 prong twist lock receptacle for my 30 amp rv cord (with the gen adapter) and will run the microwave. On eco mode it didn't have to go into a higher idle to power the microwave. It's very nice and since we have our own RV dump in the driveway, will be fine to go this route. If it gets real cold we have to keep the woodstove going for the house plumbing. The other generator will keep the fridge going in the house just fine. Poor mans way of doing it, yes but, if I put a sanitary water storage tank outside I can use another 12 volt pump to pump water into the rv. IBMobile is genius.... he says plumb the 12 volt pump and tank to a hose bib outside and repressurise the well pressure tank to flush toilets and run water in the house. He is the cool idea man

He texted me back the other night to tell me that his wife's mother died at 92. It is a huge loss to the family because she was the best kind of person. Just a very cool lady in many ways. It's a great loss to his wife and him too. To add to that Dripley goes to start his truck to start another new Chic-Fil-A building and his truck has a bad ECM, won't start. I hope he gets it fixed soon not a problem too much. I am also sorry to hear about his cool mother in law, who passed away recently. That's always hard on the wife.

Update; well the storm total rainfall is a full 4 inches. I don't think that's ever happened in Oregon in September. It's really good and to breath fresh air again. My trees also look more alive. It's really great and I'm very thankful. Keep the faith everyone.

Our summer is ending and the feeling is, I don't want to go thru another hot one like that again. It's not normal to be so hot for so long in the Pacific Northwest. All the trees are like they have been pruned on the terminal bud of all the branches from the excessive heat. Some trees dying. The air at the same time, does not move anymore like it used to so there this weird sort of smell, just hangs there, along with visible air pollution everywhere from the huge population moved in. Now that we had a good strong storm move thru, what a relief, finally after 3 months of no rain with only around 5 inches since last March. It is wonderful to get the fresh air back and my trees are looking better with a full 4 inches of rain in 2 days with this last storm. I am so thankful. It important everyone to not forget to keep the faith so God does not forget about you too. Sorry I got way off topic.... dry conditions like that has never been seen around here and then to think about a fire dept. needed to go with every electric vehicle bothers me. Them things need a way to stop burning after a crash.

Update on our drought; It has rained all night and my redneck rain gauge (cylindrical shaped coffee mug outside) is half full, over 1 1/2 inches. That's really cool because we've had no rain since june. It's coming down steady and hard. The drought has weakened the tress too and so the wind has broken a tree in half I'm afraid. I heard the crash last night. Next years firewood.

Mike do like I do and ride a bicycle everyday. It keeps you fit, develops balance and agility I can still work on both my second gens at 70. A bit slower but it better I go slow cause young guys make all the mistakes, remember?

I'm thinking two Honda 2000W inverter type. Easy to put away and fuel efficient but, really wondering if that gets me on the wrong track since I want to do the heavy umbilical to a 50 amp style twist lock plug. Then it has been awhile since I have done electrical and want to get the well with one or two light and recepticle circuits on the transfer switch. My panel is down in the basement where everything is easy to do and the outside ground being close for one or two gens to sit on a slab. W-T went for two Honda gens, big ones. Not sure on the size nor how he hooked them up. It was impressive when he talked about it. Thank you for all the thoughts..

Does your system have a transfer switch to prevent back feed.?
