Glad to hear all is good! It is hard to take it easy if you feel good.

Pretty interesting.

Got a 5" muffler on truck and it is alot quieter now. Put the EGT gauge and probe in (Thanks again Dave) and I could not get it to go over 1100 degrees towing the 5er yesterday and pushing it hard so that is good.

Anyone ever adjust thier slide outs? I looked yesterday and noticed mine is not pulled in as tight on the bottom as the top when it is closed
Glad to hear all is ready for the trip Lee! Never messed with the slides myself..

Off to UPS to ship it back. L8r!!
Hopefully that takes care of it Michael! Stay cool!

Yup. Drove across town to drop off the old one. It is nice and cold now. There was something definitely wrong with the compressor. Now, if I could just find some time to get the oil stuff taken care of and get the Torque Converter installed.

The TC is really becoming an sore spot for me. I'm getting better fuel mileage in town than on the highway. Last tank I got about 12 on the highway. I'm getting about 13-15 in town right now.

Well I got the boat all fixed last night but no time to get it on the lake so that will have to wait for another night. It was a PITA but it is done.

Pretty good. Got the plans all set for this weekend, I think. Having gotten throwing in sooner then expected is making it a bit tough though...
