Almost spring (march) B.S. thread

Snowmobiling was good. We did have a few incidents though. My buddy drove his F150 that had some recent frontend work done. Ended up having the passenger front caliper lose the lower bolt. It then cut a nice groove into the rim which blew in half as we came to a stop. That was fun.
My trailer managed to put two different scuffs into my snowmobile hood and I somehow blew out the rear shocks on my sled. No fun riding on bumpy trails with springs only.
And then we were checking tire pressure on the trailer before we left and one valve stem came out in my hand when I was taking the cap off. Luckily the spare was good.
Other than that I still had fun. It did cut into the riding time though. Oh well.

Good Morning guys, the coffee is certainly helping me as I wait to head out. I wih I had a lil Viking running around of my own.
Troy, I found a full daily driver build of it on poerstrokenation. The more I read the more I like it. I can't believe International built a better inline 6 than cummins and ford didn't jump on it.
Oh and speaking of the race, I think they need to adopt what the Japanese do in their "Nascar" they add weight to their winners to balance out everyones power to weight ratio. Even though I do like seeing Jimmie Johnson kick some more butt haha.

Terry,
Do you have a link to that build. I went there and looked and actually searched for it but I couldn't find. Thanks

My mechanic buddy just offered to buy my truck for a plow truck. My truck needs some work so I am thinking about selling it. He offered me 2800.....idk what to do. It needs a rebuilt motor or a running swap. I figure they make them everyday so I don't need to worry about selling it.
I really could use the money. Plus I could save up and buy a newer one when im on my feet financially.

Good morning Steve and the rest of MN! Hope everybody has a good Tuesday!
Hey Terry, Looks like you got a decision to make. I am not up on the values of the v10 trucks but that doesnt seem to bad for one that needs all that work you say. The nice part is you could save up and maybe get one with the diesel in it already and save yourself some work. Although it wouldn't have the DT360 in it.
