Good morning guys! It's the Monday of my spring break and I'm getting ready for work! Oh well. I only work today and tomorrow this week, and then I'm driving home for the remainder of the week. I hope the weather holds out!

What's your major?

I'm really wishing I would have stuck with school the first time around, and got a bachelors, then masters.


EDIT:

That being said, I think if I take a class this summer, I'll get my ba next spring. Then I'll have to start the master's program! UGH.

Anyone here have a 2008-2010 super duty?

Put about 210 miles on this weekend. trails were pretty darn good. And that is a good thing considering about 120-130 of those miles were with a blown out rear shock.

Sounds like you had a good day snowmobiling Jim.
Glad you had fun Jay. That a rebuild able on the m10? I just bought a used rear shock from a 06 renegade 1000x. Much beefier then the stock one. Has high/low speed rebound with a reservoir.

They predict 10-14" of snow by Wednesday morning

It is rebuildable but I just had it done last year if I remember right. Maybe the year before. But only at the most 1000 miles on it. Not sure what route I may go. Gonna let it go for this season and just ride the other one if I go out.

That would be nice to get Jim.

We do at home. Dad has a 2008 F350 with the 6.4. Powerful truck not so great with fuel. Averages around 9mpg with mixed driving. We have had to replace the radiator on it, and a few other little things, but I can't think of them right off.

That's a bummer. $50 should get it rebuilt. I have a team fast air shock for the front of the rear suspension. Had maybe 4 years. Got a leak couple years ago. Sent in fixed now leaking at the aluminum collar. Called them, I have the old style air bag. Need to have new style plus limiter strap kit for around $200. I just want to sell it but I will probably have to keep it and use it at that price.
