He said he thinks the hpop went, or something that's 1000$. It broke down last Friday too.

So far my van with 55,000 miles on it hasn't 'broke down.'
- The recent dead batteries were five years old and I consider it just end of life, especially sitting for so long while I was away.
- I caught the transmission melt-down before it gave up the ghost.
Every time I got a transmission trouble light I pulled into the dealership that same day.
Eventually the dealership opened up the transmission. - I caught the turbo before it stranded me.
The turbo was 'on the way out' but not dead yet, I was only suffering poor acceleration at the time.
- The alternator (upgrade), this one is 250 Amps.
- Flush the coolant, and while I'm at it replace the water pump and the EGR cooler.

Hey Miles, sorry you didn't get your mountain dew! I had quite the story for Aaron when I got back! Hope you didn't get in too much trouble.
Greg, Aaron was saying you knew of a fancy caulking/sealant stuff for seams like in my cab where the metal ran away from the weld, and other places as well.

Josiah gimme a holler in the morning if you guys have stuff for me to do otherwise I'm gonna go finish splitting what I have cut already then go play in the woods. I'd say maybe I'll see Alden but judging by the pictures of his quad I don't think I will.

I won't be getting there particularly early. I am going over to a buddy's to check out his "new" truck(lifted 2500 dodge) while I wait for auto body specialties to open so I can hopefully get some retainers for my cab lights. I will let you know what is going on though. I don't know how much there really is to do. I think the only thing that really needs two sets of hands, or three, is the hood, and maybe bumpers. Interior should be a breeze
