This is what I walked out to this morning for work...
One of my best Buds from central Illinois has come across 2 floaters (dead bodies) while setting up trot lines for catfish!!! He gets into a lot of backwater areas on the Sangamon River and such. IIRC, both were "dumped" bodies............drugs and or other illegal stuff involved.The cops commandeered his boat on the first one after he reported it!! He said, they didn't even "bag" it when they put in on the bow of his boat!!!! The second time, he said no way, and kept his distance from the dock so they couldn't get into his boat.....................they then got their own boat, and he showed them where the body was!!!Always, always, always protect yourself.

'04 3500 Cummins sounds like a coach's whistle under boost
Does the whistle vary under different engine loads and throttle positions??

The Afghan Quarterback
The coach had put together the perfect team for the Chicago Bears. The only thing that was missing was a good quarterback. He had scouted all the colleges and even the Canadian and European Leagues, but he couldn't find a ringer who could ensure a Super Bowl win.Then one night while watching CNN he saw a war-zone scene in Afghanistan . In one corner of the background, he spotted a young Afghan Muslim soldier with a truly incredible arm. He threw a hand-grenade straight into a 15th story window 100 yards away.KABOOM!He threw another hand-grenade 75 yards away, right into a chimney.KA-BLOOEY!Then he threw another at a passing car going 90 mph.BULLS-EYE!"I've got to get this guy!" Coach said to himself. "He has the perfect arm!"So, he brings him to the States and teaches him the great game of football. And the Bears go on to win the Super Bowl.The young Afghan is hailed as the great hero of football, and when the coach asks him what he wants, all the young man wants is to call his mother."Mom," he says into the phone, "I just won the Super Bowl!""I don't want to talk to you, the old Muslim woman says."You are not my son!""I don't think you understand, Mother," the young man pleads. "I've won the greatest sporting event in the world. I'm here among thousands of my adoring fans.""No! Let me tell you!" his mother retorts. "At this very moment, there are gunshots all around us. The neighborhood is a pile of rubble. Your two brothers were beaten within an inch of their lives last week, and I have to keep your sister in the house so she doesn't get raped!" The old lady pauses, and then tearfully says,"I will never forgive you for making us move to Chicago !!!!

APPS
Don't the APPS auto-magically calibrate themselves every time the truck is started on 3rd gens???I replaced mine on my '04.5 a couple years ago, and did nothing to it...........but the APPS on mine is under the drivers side battery tray...............yours is in the bell shaped housing in front of the intake horn.

Gun Control
Gun Control. It already has started at Cabela's....There was a bit of confusion at the Cabela’s Sporting Goods store this morning.When I was ready to pay for my purchases of gun powder and bullets the cashier said..........."Strip down, facing me."Making a mental note to complain to the NRA about the gun control whackos running amok, I did just as she had instructed.When the hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subsided, I found out that she was referring to my credit card.I have been asked to shop elsewhere in the future.They need to make their instructions to us bitter clingers a little clearer!

Pilot bearing M.I.A
grease/oil in the bell housing often indicates a leaking rear main seal.

Raptor FRRP or FASS DDRP ?
I sure hope you are correct..............because when my current GDP Walbro goes South, I was hoping to go with a Raptor. I got scared for a while because of the posts of Raptor failures. Please keep us informed about your Raptor if'n you buy and install it!!!!

Starting Problems.
And this is the case usually............especially with an '03-04. My Bud puts a "not normal" amount of miles on his truck and found this out earlier than most. He's got 340,000+ on his '03 now. I believe the injectors are improved/different in the '04.5+ models. I've got 181,000+ on the OEM injectors now on my '04.5.

Raptor FRRP or FASS DDRP ?
Haven't there been some threads here recently about Raptors pumps failing............especially after the company was bought out??? Not arguing, just asking.

Huge Firewood Score!!!
Working at one of my accounts today, one of the Amigos told me the farm manager OKed me to cut and haul firewood off the farm!!!! Lalo, the amigo, showed me the first tree they'd like removed..............it's a monster white oak, with about a 36-40 inch truck that fell last year during the drought/heat wave. That tree alone is probably 3-4 cords of wood at least!! It also took out a few 10-12" maples in the process. Looks like I'm gonna be set with wood for a while. Gonna start cutting and hauling on Sunday!!! Should probably get a new chain or 3 also!!

COLD!!
It's been so cold around here the last 2 days, I've actually seen Liberals with their hands in their own pockets.

How many riders are out there?
No "woman wood" for you, hey??!!! The first wood I procured last year about this time, I split into "woman wood" splits...........so I knew it'd be dry. Later wood procurements I split into larger pieces.

Two stroke oil and CR injectors
Woke up to -6*F at the house this AM. Needless to say, it's too cold to shoe horses today!!! Anyhow Michael, almost all the diesel I buy around here is bio-blended. One pump sticker I see says 5-11%bio...............and another says it may contain up to 20% bio. So it's variable diesel around here. The various companies are probably formulating it based on the price of both the dino diesel and the bio-diesel to maximize profit. Oops.....I said a bad word according to the guy in the White House. Minnesota mandates 2% bio in all diesel sold up there. Gets pretty cold there, and I've not ever heard of a rash of gelling there. I've never had a gelling problem around here since the bio-diesel started coming out. Now my truck is garage kept over night usually, but I've driven hundreds of miles straight in below 0*F weather without issues with bio.............and my truck has sat outside for as long as 10 hours in -15*F.............the only additive being my 16oz of 2 stroke. They must be adding something or changing the chemical make up of the bio to keep it from gelling.

Death Wobble
Do you have an adjustable track-bar????? And seeing it's a 6 inch lift, a "drop down" bracket/mount for it????Is it a true lift, like Kore, and not something like a leveling kit???? The leveling kits/blocks shift the axle out toward the drivers side so that the front and rear tires don't track in line. I often call leveling kits, "Death Wobble Starter Kits"!!Fill out your signature so that we know what's on your truck.

Did anyone 'sense' something today?
I'm sure glad the prevailing wind throughout most of the country is West to East!!! Don't have to hear..........or smell it!!!!!

How many riders are out there?
Yeah, because you spend more time in casts, slings and crutches.................unable to ride!!!!!

Death Wobble
What brand of tires?? BF Goodrich AT's seem to be on many DW trucks. What kind of shocks, and how old??Do you still have OEM ball joints, tie rods ends???? Not a good combo with your setup.Do you have adjustable control arms?? If so, max out the camber I believe.

Two stroke oil and CR injectors
MMO is not one of Mikes recommended additives. It actually performs quite poorly as a lubricant. It's essentially "Stoddard solvent" IIRC. Not good for CP3's, injectors or LP's.
