Fixed it for you Troy!
Well, the first try failed, but showed hope. Second try was rough, but just as I was going to stop and try again, the old, cold, motor fired up. After I got into town, I drove it around for ten minutes or so just so I could at least enjoy the heat!

And here I thought, as I was scrolling down, you were showing a picture of your new truck you bought after the guys came back and bought your truck today... I was wishfully thinking for you Cory!

Thanks Jake, yea its just wishful thinking. I have not heard so I doubt it is sold. Plus I am not sure I want to sell it now. I don't want to get stuck with a temporary truck. I would rather wait till I know Des has a secure (as it can be) job. But on the other hand selling mine would open the door for a newer truck too. I am very confused.

I think my brother has a few things to monitor while driving. I don't think he has anything to worry about, it looks like he has a gauge for that.

Yeah, I hear ya Cory. I could see the predicament being a bit stressful if things were to fall through on the job situation. I guess if something's meant to be, it's meant to be! Take it as it comes I guess.

It would be easier if I did not have a camper. I could sell it and go without for a while. But being I have that nice camper (that I love to use) I kinda need a heavy truck to pull it. This whole thing sucks.

If I didn't camp I'd have a 1/2 ton myself and then maybe a nice Mustang.

Jay glad to here Lynn is ok. Let me know if you folks need some help........

Dave, The sleeping part is the bad part. Pm sent

So I brought the gsx in for the 300 mile oil change today and guess what. The slides were already worn out past the wear marks. 265 miles....... The sales guy wasn't in today so I will call him tomorrow and ask if I am going to have to change those after each weekend I ride. The track must have been to tight but they wouldn't fess up to it......

Hello to everyone else..........
