Muddin' is fun, it's the cleanin' afterwards that keeps me from doing it. I took my Super Duty through a mud hole out on the Silver Lake sand dunes Labor day weekend, I just now finished cleaning all the weeds and grass out from under it.

I had a '79 F-100 last summer that I took through the mud 3 times, and then the tranny went. Luckily I'm a mechanic and the rebuild only cost me $130(parts)... I decided not to charge myself any labor for the job.

I'll be headed back up to Silver Lake this weekend and then that's it for the old Powerstroke... I'm looking at buying a '79 F-250 next week(can we say "Trailer Queen"?) it's just too expensive to fix the SuperDuty when it breaks. Only thing I've broken at the dunes was the trans and I managed to find a FREE replacement(don't ask).
