Morning all. I hope you have a great day.
Pat, I have located them in the catalogs like DC, but not sure I can bring myself to pay $20 for the spring and then $10 shipping. $30 is a ton of $$ for a single spring. The local places have the generic springs but they have to have the hooks bent onto the ends. I don't feel this would last very long. Number Dummy posted some sources that I will call around to today. I hope the prices are more reasonable.

Happy thirsty Thursday Nevada FTE and friends. Hope everyone has a great day. I have a Dr. appointment today so I know what I will be doing. LOL. Just my normal 3 month visit to monitor the dormant Leukemia.

Blood pressure was 179, so they renewed my blood pressure medicine (why they let it expire is beyond me) and my weight has gone up to 317! So I need to change my diet. Good news is the leukemia is still dormant.

Goodmorning everyone 
Its been a busy weekend moving so far. We took Olfthl, the Ninja & offroad bikes/quads, Jimmys Mustang, & the Bayliner plus 4 additional trips to the new house yesterday. We did some weeding in the backyard while we were there too! Now to get a burn permit.
I dont even feel like we made a dent in moving anything. We're hoping to get the sheds moved over there today & do more weeding.
Atleast we have until November 1st to move, so we can take our time(kinda).
Time to get motivated. Have a blessed Sunday

Donna, good luck with the move. Don't forget you still have Halloween in there to take more time from the move.
Well, the transmission is out. I found out the aggravating way that you have to separate it from the bell housing before it will come out from behind. The cross member at the radius arm mounts doesn't allow enough room. Oh well, at least it is out. Going out today to get some cleaner and a couple other little things so I can clean it up before putting it back in. Still waiting on the clutch I ordered to arrive so I might as well.

Happy Sunday Nevada. Hope everyone has a blessed day.
Donna, moving sucks big time. I hope you guys can get it done as effortlessly as possible. Good luck.
Greg, that is cool that you have the trans out. Hope things go well for you and you can get the truck back up and running soon.
