Morning fellas.
Just about to run out the door, church potluck! YUMMMM!
Troy, luckily it was just a verbal. I told him I just got the truck and had no clue how fast I was going (haha). It must be the wheels and tires.

Nothing but clouds here. Ok I'm outta here. Later
BTW Troy, I got the compressor unloaded by myself. Easier to unload than load. Gravitiy is an awesome helper.

Morning Cory! Enjoy the potluck and I'm glad it was only warning!

Good afternoon everyone!
just home from church. Sitting for a couple minutes before I head or to the garage to hopefully finish some shelving.
Jay your French toast is making me jealous. All I had time for was yogurt.
Still cloudy here. It'd be nice if the sun would come out or decide to rain. We use the rain.

Just starting. It looks like I should just need to drop the pan and then the solenoid body.

Well, replaced the fan clutch today. Got the issue fixed.
Left the stator off to so that future belt swaps and other front engine jobs are easy now.

Good afternoon guys.
Well, what turned out to go look for a different washer turned into a new washer AND dryer......... Oh well, the old drier sucked, took 2-3 cycles to get one load of clothes dry.
Dave, was that the issue making your truck run like that, or something else?
