Look who we found! Heading home now...

 

RC, what gears do you have with those 12 bolt center sections down there? Any posi center sections?


I guess It is morning now....worked on the rear end of the Impala...took down the fuel tank...was excited to see it looked ok....but then I found part of the top looked bad then, I found more on the top... was hoping for lucky...but new is better anyway....urgg

 

very cool Dave! im guessing Alan s headed back, or tomorrow?

 

Jeff, they're staying overnight and then stopping by a friend's place on the way home.

My internal alarm went off at 4:00 am despite having less than 2 hours of sleep so I'm hoping a warm shower and a bit of protein will lull me back to sleep.

 

Feels nice out, I am sure the yard grass will appreciate the upcoming rain.

 

Morning guys. What's up for today?

 

I'm ready for a little rain, and some lower temperatures. Shari's due back late this afternoon, early evening. She said they had some strong storms in Independence yesterday evening, and that much of the city is still without power.

Smoker has been going since before 7am, and I have a 7.5 pound brisket in there for dinner tonight.

Re-positioned the parts Ranger in the "row". Went and got the bad motor from the X bro inlaws garage. Now going down for a pork loin fresh off the grill for lunch.

Come on cool weather!

 

good evening all... the kids are all gone and peace has settled on the creek.... i will miss them i think even though i got almost no work done for the past few weeks...

jeff i dont remember what al is left of those differentials.. but they are yours if you want them..

rich.. what trans is in your late model parts truck.. i could use one for my 91 explorer 4.0 that had the AOD auto in it

 

Well that was odd. I got a robo call from the Dona Ana County, NM Detention Center asking if I would accept a collect call from a detainee. Dona Ana County is where my mother was born and most of her side of the family is from. The only person I can think of from that neck of the woods who might have my number is my cousin who likes to slap his wife/girlfriends around. Without a moment's hesitation, I hung up the phone. If I'm right, he was "man" enough to get in there so he can man-up and get himself out.

Well, that was the extent of my excitement today. I used to be able to make those last minute road trips without batting an eye. Alas, I'm not as good at it as I used to be.

 

RC the blue 99 Ranger had a 3.0 with an auto. I was told it was rebuilt before I bought the truck...but on hot days with a lot of stop and go in town, it would start to slip a bit.

So I replaced it with the one in the black parts truck along with the 3.0. It came out the blue trucks motor and is setting in a drip pan...let me know what you think.

 

good morning missouri... looks like another warm day already



rich i dont think a 3.0 is the same bellhousing as the 4.0.. all these newer trucks confuse me on what will work and what wont. i will most likely be better off just scrapping out the explorer i have..
