Well on another note, a couple guys came over to look at my truck. They looked it over pretty good. They are diesel guys too. They came up in a couple Dodges though. One of them I shoulda gotten a pic of, huge stacks! Well they are gonna talk about it and let me know. Before they came over another guy called from Duluth. His dad has like 18 PSD's, he is a swine hauler (pig, for you city folk). He has a Dodge too and is selling it, He said he will call later in the week to touch base with me on it again. I have gotten four or five calls this evening about my truck. WTF is going on. The dad of the two that came over tonight wants to trade, plus $, for his '05 CC. He said he has replaced injectors, EGR delete and all the "stuff" that is wrong with the 6.0L. I said I will think about it. I don;t think I will be able to splurge that much for a truck since Des is unsure of her job this spring. Who am I kidding, no one will but it anyway, so I don't have to worry. LOL
Hey Cory! Glad to hear you got some interest on your truck. Sounds like we better get to looking for a new one for ya.

I for surely have Sacroiliitis. Which has to do with your SI joint, and is part of your back. It's at the very bottom of the back and is imflammed and creating major pressure in my back and hips. It's pushing on my Sciatic Nerves in my legs and causing pain throughout my whole body. Even my skin feels like it's sunburnt and can hardly be touched. Now it's about figuring out if it's mechanical reasons, or not. Then how bad and what can be done about it. If anything...

So, it's a good thing there is no snow. Not gonna be sledding anytime soon. Not lifting, or working on cars, or anything for that matter. If I'm lucky and it's a minor problem I'll have some physical therapy and recovery time then be back to normal but with restrictions on what I can do...

Yay!!!
None of them sound like any fun. Do you have a good doc you are seeing?

I do yes. I will likely see a specialist once I get a diagnosis from this doc though. Get the second opinion.

Dave we will get to it when you are able. No worries there. Although I am falling into the trap of thinking of buying a used tranny and taking my chances. I need to learn that the answer isn't used parts but it is still tempting.
