If we didn't start new threads it would become huge and unmanageable. Have you ever tried reading the infamous "V10 vs. PSD" thread? Most of the folks at the beginning of that years-long saga weren't around for the end. I like starting a new thread every month.

Hey, thanks for all the offers guys. I will know more when the time gets closer. We're planning to be able to move stuff over there over the next few weeks, so should be able to keep loads pretty manageable. I say when the time gets closer, but it's gonna be here before we know it. Took delivery of this little guy this evening.


Kid already loves it. Even reached for the key to start it right off. Mother-in-law supervising.

^^^what he said! Or asked, rather.

Not only does the lawn mower look brand new and run brand new(it's a 2006), the truck is running pretty well also. Replaced the passenger power window motor. Works pretty well, although a little jumpy going down. Also replaced the mid-ship tank fuel sender and pump. Now the fuel system is running darn near perfect with both tanks functioning correctly, and no more ticking/pulsating from the HPFP. Still loses oil pressure after warm up, but makes no noise. Replacement of the mid-ship fuel pump with the 3" body lift was a breeze, especially after I cut the exhaust out of the way. If I had already put the 35's on, it would have been even easier. As it was, I was able to sit just slightly hunched between the frame rail and the tank. Took all of about 15 minutes to get old one out, and put new one in. I tested it out by pulling a small tree out for the next door neighbor. Not a bad Saturday, all by 2:30. Even got the car washed.
