You're telling me! Sad that I'm hearing snow rumors for tomorrow and Friday, or I'd take it to work. Next up is to get the half-ton road worthy again and start driving that...

LOL @ rolling coolant. I got 99 problems but my 7.3 ain't one....

Thanks Nate. It is a labor of love.



P.S. She did make Diesel World this month along with Christan and many others from RRE.

Hardy hardy har! You guys are knee slappin funny!

I gotta question for you more technical folk. Let's just say, hypothetically speaking, someone was a tight wad and wanted a locker on the front axle (not sayin my own name here...lol) Since our trucks only spin tires when 4wd is engaged plus the hubs are locked in, couldn't a guy weld the spider gears? Then make sure to only engage on slippery pavement with no turns
