I was hired after one month of suspense. :-X10 I used to write for the newspaper in college among other places.

CONGRATULATIONS!

That is great! I considered the offer but do not have any prior editorial or writing experience other than the forum here and a subaruvanagon forum on Yahoo groups.

Thank you!

I am excited yet curious what all it entails. :hmm: I guess we all shall see. Now I am a pseudo celeb. :o

Does anyone have pointers/products to use that will clean or restore door panel plastics? Giving the xlt panels a clean/refresh before swapping.

Kinda sad to see it go but the TS6 is off to a new home. The Hydra will go in tomorrow with Jelibuilt tunes. I have enjoyed driving the truck without any tuning but am interested in having the ability to adjust tunes via email and down load.

Yea I have one sitting here for my brother in law's truck. Thinking it's gonna get sold and will need a Hydra lol. It's just out of date tech. Sad but true

Driving to work this am the old 5.8 truck clutch pedal went to the floor and didn't come back up. I lifted it with my foot and was able to roll the truck back and when I restarted it in gear it was moving so now I am considering what to do with it.

Check the master cylinder. Mine did this because the mounting studs broke and the master pulled away from the firewall. I doubt you have a serious issue here.

I replaced the master right away and need to bleed it out. I think the best I can do is crack the lower bleed and let gravity do the rest.

Unfortunately it looks like the slave cylinder throw out bearing failed. It's a bummer because of my limited time schedule.

Dang,bummer Nate.

Did it brake the fork brake or bearing desentegrate?
