That explains why Dave went to a F450 so his fat butt wouldn't make the truck sag anymore!

The Service 4WD message is coming on more often now. Hopefully I'll be able to make it Saturday. I ordered the encoder sensor. Should be here Friday. Need to change the fluids as well (power steering at the very least).

So tomorrow is the GTG, how long are we planning on being there cuz I gotta take my dad to a chiropractor appointment at like 1 or 1:30 but I'm free after that, just wondering how long we were gonna be staying there and (possible stupid question alert) are we able to use the tools there or do we bring our own? Either way doesn't matter, just gettin things lined up so I can hop in the car and go.
Might not be bringing the truck cus I can't afford the gas or the gaskets for the lower and upper intake and the thermostat right now, and I'm not sure if the parts for my town car will be here today or tomorrow, so depending on if they get here or not I might just show up to lend a hand where I can and hang out. Would be cool to put my car up on the lift, pull the tail shaft of the trans out, knock the old bushing and seal out, put the new ones in, slap her back together, top off the trans fluid, check everything out and drive home without the dang driveshaft wobbling around and vibrating. And also no more stains from trans fluid on the ground.

Haha, I'll bring my own tools if I'm doin anything. I know how nerve-wracking it can be borrowing tools. A buddy of mine still has a ratchet set with some nice sockets. He broke the ratchet and now won't buy me a new one so I told him to keep it. At least it was a cheap off-brand set and not one of my S-K sets. I'd have snapped if he broke one of those ratchets mainly because in 30 years my dad hasn't been able to break either one since he bought them and neither have I since I started using them. :P

Unfortunately I will probably not make it tomorrow. Nicole is meeting with the Girls in the afternoon so I will have the kids plus need to finish digging my electric trench before it freezes too hard.
