Good morning MN!
Before I go catch up on this thread, I just did a search for Monkey Muffins and wound up in the March thread. I did a little catching up.
Dave, what does that mean, about Rob? Are you now seeking employment? Or, just down a good co-worker? Or, am I totally misunderstanding?
Jay, I strongly suggest USAA for banking. www.usaa.com. The insurance is only available to military and some other associated groups. But, the banking is available to the public and is the best, by far. They don't have local branches. But, you can direct deposit and bank by mail. They cover up to $1.50 for foreign ATM fees for up to ten times per month. They don't charge any of their own. You can use a droid app to scan checks and they instantly deposit. You don't even have to mail them. Or, you can order free postage paid envelopes and mail in deposits. Anyway, check them out. The credit cards and loan rates are typically better than anywhere else too.

Good evening Dale.
I actually took my truck out for the first time since November. I put some mirrors on first and they sure do make it feel safer, having some rearward vision. Shocks are next. And, although winter is over, I think I may install my tank heater, which I never got to.
Went to Olive Garden for wife's birthday dinner. Stuffed to the gills. Had to put on some thanksgiving pants.

Good evening Dale. Glad you made it back safe.

hello all
Well after a long abscence I am back, however One of the reasons I left seems not to have changed and pardon the first thing being out of my mouth being a complaint BUT, why is it that the second post for the last two months is the new jersey chapter leader? I mean great if he was once FROM Minnesota, but otherwise I come here to talk to other MINNESOTANS about Fords and other things. I guess its a free world but if I wanted to have a million random hey hows it going posts (which seem to be being done just for the sake of raising his number of posts to seem more popular) I would go to the random member forum, rather than the MN forum. Guys like Mike who live close enough to have a connection, I GOT IT! Or a Senior administrator cool. It just makes following the conversation with minnesotans hard and it really keeps me from wanting to participate here.
Now that I am done RANTING, my truck told me not so subtly that its time to get back on by burning out the tranny again, this happened about 6 weeks ago, had it out of the shop for about 4 now and it runs great again! I had a new Tranny cooler (6.0 style upgrade) a new radiator, and a B&M remote tranny filter (uses a PH8A filter) the tranny locks up good and holds. For those of you familiar with duluth I can go up thompson hill starting about 50 and it holds OD all the way up luggin it out to about 1200 RPM or so without downshifting! Next up once I haul enough scrap is the Dynatrac Freespins and Extreme duty balljoints.

And another thing,
Anyone know if its illegal to take and run my exhaust in front of the tire? I am just thinking of getting rid of the over-axle pipe for the sound and the free-er flowing exhaust as well as possibly splitting the pipe and doing duals in front of the axle instead of behind. also would turn downs look better there instead of the 5 in MBRP tip I have, or should I find another tip like that and see how that works? I would have to see if the tip would even look right on that side anyhow. Anyone have an opinion on this idea?
