Good morning MI & have a great weekend everyone......

 

Biggest rivalry in sports day!!!!!

 

Nascar is over Jim, how can that be

 

WTF is NASCAR?

 

NAscar is where 43 rednecks get in really fast cars, make left turns for 3 hours and try to crash each other , oh and there is beer

Happy Saturday!! cold and snowy over here.

 

Well, got the truck yesterday at about 1:30 pm, Drove straight to Harrison (155 miles). Truck FELT like it wanted to just go, can not explain it any better then I was holding it back. Set Cruise at 75 and when I got up there I got about 13 mpg ( WTF ). From Harrison I took a trip to Twining, and averaged 15.25 MPG at 65 MPH, I use to push 17mpg at 60-65, took a trip home today, I have not checked it out since I got home, Wondering about winter fuel ( yes I know they have changed to it, I just never had issues on the highway, just city ) is the cause, Wondering if I need to mess with my tunes to find out which I run best at. Every Sound right now i listen to, but I can say DAMN what a difference in the truck.

Side note, I did notice a drop in MPG when I put the muffler on, but I did average 16.25 coming back from RRE this year.. Who knows.. I Should just get over it, itis a truck, not some little Compact.. But damn is she loaded for bear right now.. Like i said. it feels like i am trying to hold it back.

 

Give it time Pat. Everything most likely has to reseat.

Glad it is running great though!!

 

Great news on the truck being finished finally. I'm sure it will loosen up over time.

I'm half way done on my $10 DIY Harley headlights mod. We have a showing for the house tomorrow. Hope and pray we sell it! After the showing, I will finish the lights and install them on Monday.
It has been a very productive weekend.

On Wednesday I had a meeting with my boss, the owner and another manager. My boss attempted to portray me as a below average tech to justify not giving me a raise. She resorted to straight out lies.
They obviously don't know that I have an offer on the table but am waiting for one more offer to come in this week. This place sucks. We have lost 6 employees since the spring.

 

Good Sunday morning MI guys, cold & clear up here, have a good day.....

 

i know you are right Rich, going to take some time getting use to her again.

Nice on the Headlights Torr!!

You would think a company that just lost 6 employees might look in the mirror sometimes. Especially during these times. It is almost over Torr!!

 

You are correct Pat. You would think they might realize something is wrong, but then they would have to admit that it's their fault. That isn't going to happen. I have heard every excuse imaginable.

 

I have noticed that my truck as the same oil leak starting up again. Good grief. Thought Hallas fixed the problem. Only happens in the cold weather. They said they had fixed it, but it was at the end of cold weather season last year.

 

Al, I.would have to look again, seems to me the exhaust back pressure valve stem is known to leak.

 

Good MOnday Morning ALL!!


I think, only for a minute, I missed work. But now that I am up and getting ready, wth was I thinking..

Have a good one all!!

 

Good Monday morning MI
