Good Sunday morning. Another beautiful day out there.
Some observations:

Humor at it's best

Tom I believe that the Prius people lie to its customers. As long as it comes on the screen they think you will believe any thing it says.

Miles I know a place in New Britain that has a deep quarry that is full of dark brown water. Nothing else to be said there.

Andy vintage outbacks don't get great mileage. I refer you to the great Barnum when he said there is one born every day.

Buy a nice dependable Ford truck. Just ask Miles.

LOL Hee Hee!!!!

i think im gonna be better off just not posting about my truck problems

Anyways, went with some friends to pull out another high school kids F150. Got the thing pretty stuck. Another guy came with a 7.3 dually on brand new cooper STTs, holy **** those tires fling mud everywhere. Now i know why ray loves them lol. Guy wasn't afraid of his skinny pedal either

That was great how he yanked that truck out. I have always used Toyo tires. Back when There was that tsunami I couldn't get them and my guy through on a set of Cooper AT3's and it was like riding in a boat. I went back to my Toyo tires two month later. Now I'm hearing a lot of people going for the SST's will have to keep an eye on the stats.

I know ray has more than a few sets on his trucks! I went with the Toyo MT on this truck, had STTs on my old truck and they weren't too bad. the toyos are a little more stable though

And yea...good thing that kid was already parting out that F150, because it tweaked the crap out of the frame. didnt have much of a choice though, it was there since 10 last night and needed to get out of there

I disagree, it makes everyone else feel better.

we were pulling the truck out at a 90* angle if you couldn't tell. and that truck wasn't even budging under its own power...my friend who was in the f150 said it felt like he got hit by a bus. and a big yank like that with a chain...yeah not surprised

and hey, good thing its not a prius! would have ripped it in half!

Evening guys.

I called Pureflow about my fuel pump today.
I got it going for now but it is still weak.
So I ordered a new pump that is make for big rigs.
The guy told me that the Airdog line of pumps and not made by them any more so that is why a lot of guys are having trouble with them.
The guy talked me it to the new pump that they are making for a few $'s more but are more reliable.
I should have it on Thurs.
