It seems that no matter how hard I try, there are always maintenance items to be handled at the gathering of the great wrenches and the turners.

Hey Snuggy, you forgotten the H in tHat. Just want to let you know.

I tink I'll see if I can rig sumtin up with ball valves 2 put in the block so tat if u know u will do a few flushes u can just reach under and pull the valve. And for the final fill just put the plugs back in the block.

My list is growing on my truck. I now appear to have a small fuel leak up on the topside somewhere. I don't have enough time right now during tax season to mess with finding that item. I need to change the carrier bearing on the drive train. Then I have the stabilizer bar end pieces to change. Also, the coolant needs to be flushed and a filter installed. Fix the last door lock on the truck. Double check all the connections up top. And I should be good with that until later in the year when we can get together again.

Ted

Bump to top. The meet will be the weekend of 5/16 to 5/18. Bring a camper and your rig. We will have plenty of BS and wrench turning. Hopefully, I can get some food and such for us to enjoy. But again, I will be turning wrenches as well. Just book it and come on down.

Fantastic! I'm marking on my calendar now. I'll be bringing the wife too. Maybe Robert and his lady might ride with me.
