  1. In the 9.5 years I've had my truck, that has happened to me about 4-5 times. Just happens out of the clear blue with no reason that I can find. I dunno either.
  2. You're "chunkier" than Michael!!!!
  3. I went pheasant hunting this AM…………just got home…………………..2 birds in less than an hour with my 9.5 year old lab!! Going over to friends to spend the afternoon.
  4. Have a happy and safe day everyone!!
  5. Myself, Mopar1973Man, and AH64ID run the SouthBend Con OFE in our trucks. We like them. It's rated for, IIRC, 450HP and 1000ft.lbs. of torque. The Valair is a good brand also……………………………the price in your link seems AMAZINGLY low though for a clutch that'll hold that much power!!
  6. Remember the scene in the movie "Electric Horseman" when Robert Redford stole the horse and rode out down the Las Vegas strip???? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTLoRbLaSBA
  7. Just rolled over 199,000 miles this AM.
  8. Yes, that is correct.
  9. Why are not these "important' items given the special treatment they deserve???
  10. _____!!! - - - Updated - - - I got wood watching you prepare your "wood" for burning!!!
  11. Nowadays, most of the only "true" Floridians live North of Orlando!!
  12. 200lbs.????? Who you BSing??!!:doh:Looks great, all kidding aside!!!:cheers:Is Tracy single?????????………………………..or have a single sister or mother that is "available"!!???
  13. An oldie……………….but still a goodie!!!!
  14. I weigh the same as when I graduated HS; 5'11" and 180lbs. But I'll tell you this……………..the weight is proportioned a bit differently than it was then!!!! I have more of a "spare tire" now around the waist……………………..but I'm also twice your age!!!I would agree MnTom……………..back problems can often be caused by weak stomach (core) muscles…………………which also leads to poor posture. Get on an exercise program to get fit……………..not buck up…………….but to get "fit"………………I think that may help you out some.
  15. Well, there used to be a lot of tall grass on the CRP ground………………now it's just tall corn. Lot's of wind breaks and shelter belts up there.
  16. Give me some "maul"!!!
  17. The NV5600 is a truck tranny. Many have complained of shifting in the past………………………and a lot have come over from cars and "lighter" trucks. Have you tried different rpm's to shift at??? Shifting faster or slower…...gear shifter??? Timing the "shift" and clutch slightly differently???? I use Amsoil MTF and she shifts just like she did when new.You're not alone here.
  18. I'm asking these so get some pertinent info, so don't take them the wrong way…...…………………………..Are you a big fat boy???? Does this run in your family???? Do you exercise??? Do you have a "beer gut"???As someone that for the last 25 years has worked with his head lower than his butt; I know a thing or three about sore/painful backs.
  19. Told my Dad about 3+ years ago; that he may never live to see it, but there's a revolution brewing in our country if'n the Democrats maintain control. He poopoo'ed it then, but he now is totally on board.Ammo is more precious than gold etc. now IMHO!!
  20. I got a feeling that's a "young Russ"!!!!
  21. Is this anyone you know????:bang head: If he spent more time sharpening his chain and cutting splitting and stacking……………..he wouldn't have to burn green wood. Wonder what his chimney looks like………………….although most of the smoke wasn't even going up the chimney!!!! Burning green wood must kill brain cells!!!
  22. And the stupid A-holes cut you off while towing a trailer like you're a little sports car!!! If'n truck and trailer drivers weren't as good of drivers as they are; there'd be a whole lot more "Darwin Awards" in the "Driving category'!!!!!!! Not from the trailer tower or the truck driver………………………..from the "roller-skate" driver that's essentially unaware of anything around him but his "smart-phone"!!!!:banghead:
  23. Or the business end of whatever "personal protection device" was nearest me at the time.
  24. Doesn't PVC piping come in different colors??? I thought there was a grey and a black colored version.When my truck had the timing cover gasket leak, I extended the breather tube by about 6 inches………………..in an effort to eliminate it (the breather tube) as being a cause of the leak. It's still on there!!
