Morning guys,
Well I cleaned the carpet in the motorhome yesterday and finshed a few little upgrade things, looks like I am ready to hit the road when the time comes. Cranked up the truck last night to move a few piles of leaves, she fired right up. But something funky is going on with the choke after she gets warm, looks like an adjustment on that tonight. With the motorhome 99% done I am looking forward to starting some stuff on the truck.

That's Northeast GA correct? I used to go to Cleveland and Toccoa often for work. Sometimes I would leave from my sisters house in Cleveland, TN and drive thru the mountains to get there, very pretty, but you don't get there very fast

Good Thursday Evening Georgians. It has been a busy week with the bathroom remodel from hell but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and the weekend is almost upon us. Hope everyone has a great evening.

Wanted to ask if anyone in the North Georgia area has ever worked on 2000 F250 V10 exhaust manifolds. I have some broken bolts...Joy
If so did you do it yourself or have someone else do it. I have read how to fix it but I don't have a wielder.

I haven't removed broken bolts on a v10 F250 but I have had to remove broken bolts on a couple of other
vehicles. I usually use easy outs, which are available at most auto part stores. I tend to stay away from applying any source of heat to machined surfaces as to reduce the possibility of warpage. I know some people will disagree and say it is much easier to weld a bolt or stud onto a broken bolt but if not done properly you could do a lot of damage.

Good rainy Sunday morning . There is nothing like doing roof repair at the crack of dawn in a monsoon. Mom had a huge limb break out of an oak tree and spear through the roof in her spare bedroom. Now if only the insurance company would hurry up and send an adjuster out before something else goes wrong. We have been waiting two weeks already.
