Good morning Cory, Jim, Dave, Mike and everyone else stopping by today. Should be a nice day minus the wind.
We moved some stuff last night. I had to repositon a mirror in the truck last night and thought the wind was going to blow me out of the truck.

They wanted 850 for the transmission. I offered 600. He said he usually sees them go for 700-850 with over 100k on them. I asked him if we could meet in the middle.

Someone had a bad day yesterday. This was at the Mexican Village Restaurant yesterday in Mankato.

I am amazed at how you guys remember my name. I am working on learning names here and the sig lines help. I haven't figured out how to do a signature yet. Someday.
I've had it less than 2 weeks and haven't used it for anything other that driving to work, but so far I like it. Wind it up and it reminds me of my Mustang a little bit. I came from a non-intercooled 7.3, so this motor is pretty comparable. Up on HP by about 100, but down on torque by maybe 50-100#. The performance seems pretty close. I wish I could have found one with the 4.30s in it, but I think the 3.73s will do fine.
I did have it hiccup yesterday and I wasn't very pleased with that. I was making a right turn from one highway to another, when I stomped the loud pedal to merge the truck did NOTHING for a couple of seconds, like it was trying to figure out what I wanted to do. I hope it's a fluke and won't happen again.
So far it beats the hell out of my '97, but with 15 years of technology I expected that.
Nice friendly place here. Maybe I'll find time for the GTG on Saturday. Although I have a ***** ton of stuff to get done in my own garage. I'll start on the brakes for my '00 CV tonight.

It will be interesting to see what they say.
