Have a good night Dave

Jay, check out Rammar sheet metal across from Holiday off of Old Jefferson in Brooklyn Park/Maple Grove. I've had them cut some metal for plates to cover old fire alarm annunciators.

Sounds good Chris. I will see what Mike can get from the outlaws too. I am not sure exactly how much or what size I even need. I think I will print out the sheets tomorrow and see what the pattern looks like.

Good evening guys!

Wow what a night. Went down stairs to get something and realized my old sump pump basin was level full with water. There is no pump in there anymore since I tiled around the house and moved the basin outside. There hadn't been water in there in two years so I new something was wrong. Sure enough the pump outside in that basin had quit working. Called up a guy a know that works at a hardware store in town and he went down and opened up for me to get me a pump. Can't beat that!! Water is pumping again and all should be good again!

So is the chip that you got similar to the Tweecer I have in the Mustang? I can switch on the fly to 4 tunes plus the stock one. I could write on the fly but the car would have to run on the stock tune which mine won't.

I am not familiar with that chip but yes I can switch on the fly between six tunes.

Good evening all

Like the sound of the 20 tunes for your chip, Troy
Dave the AIS is a great intake for our trucks especially if you cut a hole where the tube dead ends at the front of the truck, You can't hear the turbo hardly ever....nice and quiet

Lee I would probably get better mileage towing if I slowed down, usually tow at 70-75.

Mike I might take you up on those coolant jugs........

Dave still trying to find above mentioned coolant jugs, LOL

Dropped the alternator off in Elk River today. He is going to rebuild and up it to 160 amps for roughly $125 . So I mentioned I was leaving in a week and wanted to know if he could also rebuild the Oreilllllllly reman I have in my truck to the same before I left. He said he would rebuild mine and he has another in his shop that he would do too. I just need to swap the one out of my truck when I go to pick up both of them. All for only $250, how can you beat that.

Sounds like a great deal Tom!

Starting work tomorrow, only bad thing is the 4:30am wake up call..........

Yeah the 4:30 part is gonna suck but you will get used to it again!

Good evening Minnesota! Have a happy Hump-day tomorrow. Chris, Jay, Troy

Evening guys.

I may have some jugs around Tom, I will take a look.

I have a brake press at work I can sneak in and use on the weekend to bend that sheet metal if it needs to be.

Heading to Peoria Ill tommorow night for a truck auction I think. My buddies are looking at four matching Peterbuilts on Thurs. Will be back for work on Fri though.:-X17 May have a quick reminder on how to drive a 18 spd on the way back if they buy more than three. There is five of us going, but the one guy is iffy at driving anything over a Escort, so I may need to drive one back. Wish I still had my dot cert.

Good evening Lee! Sounds like a fun trip! Don't get caught not having a dot cert. cause you would be shutdown right there with a fine! Good luck and have fun!

DieselCamper01 04-05-2011 09:35 PM

You can go visit Rick while you are there Lee!

fordpower88 04-05-2011 09:39 PM

Good idea Jay!

Good to hear everything worked out for you! Those pumps just never last as long as they should. Kinda stupid for what you pay for them too! I have worked at a basement tiling company for 5 summers now. So i know what you're talking about. Just out of curiosity, do you remember the company that did your exterior tiling job?

Good evening Jake! Yes I do remember you are talking with part of the crew. It was my FIL and BIL who own a const company in Eagle Bend. Then along with myself and my brother we got it done!

Here is a couple videos of my son playing/riding in the mini backhoe we used with my BIL.
