Unless you're buying, ya right! Have you ever done an oil cooler before? If I don't have to spend $1000 having all this work done I'm not going too. Just not sure about how the oil cooler comes apart

I have not done the cooler yet.
My deltas are very good but I am going to change over to ELC soon.

You can get a set of 175s with stock tip from Jease Warren for about $800.

Looks like I will be joining the Super Duty world. Truck needs some work, and has some bumps and bruises, but the price is right, and it's a crew cab. It'll be a week or so before it's official, but it's in progress.

Year? Engine?

By the way sorry for not chatting more yesterday Andy but we were already over the hours on the card and had two more jobs after that.

Rigging that limb down sucked. Can't get our crane in there or we absolutely would have used it.

Had to do some unique things just to get the bucket down there. Crane is 13'1 bucket is 12'6 bridge is 11'6 clearance. The guy wants that whole tree down but they talked him out of it for now. Hopefully we don't get the removal.

Morning guys.

That's OK Pete, I understand.
That area is hard to get down into but the $ is good.

Congrats on the truck Josiah

I am off this morning with the cub scouts to launch Estes rockets up near Durham fair grounds.

Do you have anyone from CTRA doing a demo/presentation?
I was on the board of that club for many years.

It looks like a beautiful day for it.
Hope the kids have fun!

No we are just doing them on our own.
It does look like a great day for it.
Thanks Jim

It's not official yet. Gotta get the check/approval for the specific vehicle from USAA. It is a 2003 F250 Centennial edition Lariat Crew Cab short bed v10. It has 140,000 miles on it. I'm paying 6500 for it. It has a couple dents and some scratches, but no real rust on the body...that I saw. Like I said, needs some work, but worth it for the price I think.

Can't do that til I actually own it. For now I am just holding on to the memory of Clyde....

Edit: correction, "Can't do that UNLESS I own it." Don't want to get ahead of myself now.
