Here is a pic of my daughters truck, you would think she won the lottery. I might sneak out and put a Georgia ford-truck sticker on it.. My buddy down the street has a red crew cab I can get some parts off of. I am going to exchange the bed, hood and the drivers fender. Hers has a few dents but could care less, me on the other hand want to make it as nice as I can.

The guy lives in Blairsville, a 2 hr drive from Cave Spring. The truck I am getting some parts off of down the street has some chrome stuff but my daughter wants to keep it black.

If you are having DT's that's not a good sign.

A freaking caterpillar ate my only tomato plant yesterday!!! The only thing left is the stalk.

It is trying to sprout some new leaves so maybe I can bring it back.

Worked on the daughters truck today, adjusting and repairing some stuff, replaced the hood and grill, the old one had a real bad dent repair job that someone tried to fix. She doesn't care but it drives me nutty. Sanded the headlights down and clear coated them so maybe the lights will better than they were. They were really bad on low beam. Adjusted the steering gear box to take some slop out of it. Another trip to Ft Benning tomorrow for an appointment.

This should help the lights

Whiter Whites, Brighter Brights - Ford-Trucks.com

Today was a crap day
It started when Lexie went outside and saw what she thought was a dead dog by the mailbox, it wasn't it was the doe that had been coming up in the yard at night.

Had to take one of her cats to the vet yesterday, had to have him put down today kidney failure

Went to Ingles to get a few things, left my phone in the cart, had to get a new phone I had an upgrade but it still cost me 150 to get out of the store

Lexie found out her mother had a very mild stroke. To make it worse her mother did not want anybody to tell Lexie or her brother.

Sorry to hear about Lexie's mom, my father had a slight stroke about a month an a half ago. He just recently went home. That one of the reasons why i haven't been on the forum much.

I reccomend a relay harness for any light added or to improve on a vehicle. I run a relay for my fog lights and head lights. Massive improvement, but I also have custom head lights and fog lights.

I got the headlight issue straightened out. Someone had installed some silverlight bulbs and they were messing it up. The high beam indicator was always on and very low light output. So I switched them back to regular bulbs and with the sanded and clear coated headlights and regular bulbs they work perfect now. I need to adjust the them down some but the light level is now nice and bright.

Another sad day for french people,

Was the posi for the dodge or your ford? I am interested in getting one in my ford 9". I know I have an open diff now. But we will see how it goes after my drivetrain etc are in.
