July BS Thread....

Yeah man a hoist. Will be installing it July 14! Leaving tonight for Whiskey Creek not coming back till Sunday. Then staying home to install hoist. 12,000 # capacity - good enough for a blue and white Superduty. Plus when I built my barn and had my floor poured they put in extra cement for the hoist that was going to be there some day!

Bandit isn't limping any more, but we're still taking it easy with him.

Good work John! Any progress is good progress, can't wait to check it out.

Need to get a couple pictures of the "new" ride. It is filthy tough, I'll try to get a pic up later tonight. Getting tires on it Monday, and a detail on Tuesday (I hope they can get the smell out....combination of dog and swisher sweets) Pretty happy with how it pulls the jeep on the trailer, and actually drives.

Busy weekend coming. Oldest daughters birthday party tomorrow, and a family reunion on harsen island sunday. Progress on the truck has been stalled out for now. trying to clear up some loose ends before finishing off the flares.

I ordered the Auto Enginuity pack if anyone needs to do some detailed diagnostics, also got the "Ford" bundle so it should make searching out any sensor a breeze.

I have an Airbag code that I am searching on the new truck. The code is 42, everything I read was a simple fix. Replace the front crash sensor and wire harness, Did that and the code still exists, cleaned up the radiator support to get good ground. I need to do some pin point tests, there has to be a break in the wire somewhere in the system. The software should help me figure it out quickly.

GOOD MONDAY MORNING!!!

Wow, cant believe vacation is over.. what a GREAT WEEK. Took the boys Up North by myself, Took the Kids and Dog in a canoe.. well, that was exciting. Did a little fishing, caught at least a dozen or so, nothing big, but enough to keep the kids excited. Sheryl came up Wednesday, did the Derby, Firewroks and ect. Bought a couple of quads.. 1 needs work to get it running, one needs only brakes.

Now, I sit here getting ready for work, wioth only the Sunburn left to remind me, Have a GREAT WEEK!!
