Afternoon guys, just doing a quick drive-by between jobs.

 

*throws out some tacks to make pat stop for awhile while he changes his tire...

 

Haha very nice Shawn

Hey, don't know if anyones seen it, but at the top of the forum, theres a link to All Truck Nationals in Carlisle with all the info up there... any body going?

 

ive seen them in many peoples sigs... i cant afford to go...

 

hey hey, bunch of crap that came up unexpectdly as always...



my theory that there would be some airspace in a 15-qt drain pan and that after 3k mi my truck would have burned a little oil...uhhh, yeah, not so much.

for the record, don't drain a 16-qt diesel into a standard drain pan. it does NOT work.

 

oh but my 4.10 axles are getting delivered to me on thursday...so there are two swaps gonna need doin this weekend...and then i gotta find me some mud so i can FINALLY put her in 4 again!!!

 

lol i had that same problem with my stang... 6 qt oil pan... 5 qt drain pan... word oops comes to mind when i wasnt paying attention to the engine draining...next time i didnt have that problem lol... dad bought a new BIGGER drain pan for his truck... would have to look to see how much it holds... nice thing i like about it though is it has a nice lil spot to put the filter on for it to drain... out others we just dropped them in the pans and they never really drained...

 

OH! thats one big mess there

LOL, just had 2 hamsters running free in the house had escaped cage but lucky were able to get both safely back into cage. One was playing hide and go seek but we found them before the cat did.

 

I had a hamster escape back when I was a kid that we never could catch again, he lived in that old house for a long time. Guess he took up with the mice.

 

Good Morning Eric, Shawn, Will, and the rest of the Virginia crew!

 

morning....

hmmm paint the house... change leaky valve cover gasket... hmmmm

 

Shawn, do the gasket til it warms up, then paint the house!

 

Hey Shawn, the best part about painting is that when done, you get to watch the paint dry.

 

Morning fellas

 

all done... 2 1/2 hrs and no more leak.. no more leaky truck.. well so long as i dont park it nose downhill... oil pan leaks in the front.. but so long as i park it nose uphill or flat it no leaks lol.. cant fix that one which is annoying... GM never made a gasket that went all around the pan.. just ones up the sides and ya had to use RTV to seal the rest... and that engine cooks RTV..
