Hey guys, day is almost done.

Yes, Troy that will affect a guy in a negative way. I can see people saying that he should have seen him.

My buddy here at work lives in Norwood, he says this is the second suicide in the last month. He knows both kids. At least the first one didn't involve anyone else. Suicide in and of itself is pretty selfish.

RIP troubled young man.

We are short handed at work this week so I haven't been able to get over to Ford to talk to them about the low power issues and the transmission issues. I will probably do that next week. Best case scenario Ford offers to help some on the transmission. Worst case I spend $2,500 and have it rebuilt.

Yes that is true but if someone lays down on the road with a blanket wrapped around them then you can't hardly blame the driver but I am sure someone sadly will.

Wow two in a month is not good.

Yeah you would think there would have been some signs of trouble brewing.

Thanks Tom!

I have the unfortunate feeling that I will be hosting a GTG at the shop here to pull the tranny out of my truck.

I did get my ATSG manual for the 5R110 in the mail today.

Gotcha! Hopefully I can make it depending on what weekend it is. Hopefully Ford fixes it and no need to GTG other than to shoot the breeze and have a cold one!

I hope so!

I am not getting my hopes up though. I am going to read through the ATSG manual tonight and debate on whether I should attempt to rebuild it myself or not.
