Tow company can't get here until Monday, so I rented a car and am continuing on my way to my buddy's place. I asked Enterprise if they had any trucks, they said they had a new Silverado, but it can't move because it has a recall. I feel slightly better.

Anyone know if an 04 CAC metal pipe is a direct fit on my 06?

Thanks! They told me they sold one out of the red truck (that I was going to look at) for $65 to someone passing through who's plastic pipe broke on the road. I told them new ones sell for $75 online.
Then when I came back to pay for it, I said hi by name to a guy I sold a fireplace to 20 years ago and he discounted it to $35 plus tax.

The new building structural steel is up and they were starting to put up the steel siding. You now have to sign a waiver to walk in to the yard. Or maybe I just never did it before? I didn't get there until 11:30 so I had to hurry.
I love walking through dreaming about what I could do for projects. Haha!

Can I get some good luck once in a while??? You can't make this sheet up.
Now your text this morning about the wardens demands makes much more sense.....zero data in silver lake area.......Let me know if you need anything.

well i finally got a cylinder-specific misfire code, looks like #8 is the issue... of course it would be a rear one.
