Need to chase down a clunk on the Excursion tonight, I think one of the new sway bar end link bolts came loose.....
You have front leaf springs? We chased a clunk on my F-350. took off the front sway bar, replaced shocks multiple times. Over the winter fixed an exhaust leak at the manifolds and found nylon pieces in the leaf springs were all broke. Replaced them and haven't had a clunk yet.

feels like I just left work and am back again.

It's Friday! only one more day of work and a few days off to catch up. When is it going to warm up around here?

What is everyone doing over the holiday?

I've been working a ton this week. In the Soo for the first part, Alpena yesterday, starting at Hooters this morning. Down by the volleyball courts this afternoon. Should make for an interesting day.

Well, Hooters is finished now. FYI, I wouldn't recommend eating here. Its pretty disgusting in the kitchen area. On the plus side, Nicolette is smoking hot.
Hey Dennis!

Hard to believe you don't have any pics to share Torr

Heading to Chicago tomorrow afterwork, back home to Detroit Monday, then back to work on Thursday. Really nothing planned, hang out with friends and catch up from the driving.

No proof on my phone. Sorry, besides, I'm probably closer in age to her mom.

Just returned from Florida. This week consists of oldest daughters birthday party, and a family reunion on harsens island. I also have to tell my oldest daughter I've been dating her teacher for the past 6 months.

Good luck with that one Al.

With a weird twist of fate word got out that I mentioned selling my Excursion at one point. It appears that someone wanted it more than I did. It's on it's way to Ohio now. The upside is that I am replacing it with an F150 supercrew lariat 4x4.
