Just the 6.0L EU owner I need to talk with.
Can you drop into this thread and add to the discussion please?

He has a 7screw that may be in need of some help. He is looking
to see if he can find the parts he will need to self repair the FICM.

How did the shipping go with FICMrepair for you?

Thanks


I forgot to say that Bella is feeling much better. Turned out it may of
been a vaccine reaction. The vet gave her some anti-nausea meds
and some benadryl. Took us about 35minutes to get back home and once
in the door she was up on the counter where I feed her trying to
nibble on my cheek. That is her request for FOOD NOW. So I put some
nice raw beef out and she attacked it. Right now she is sleeping off
a full belly and the benadryl. I lost too many cats in one year in 2017
and did not want to even think about another one.

Now as far as cats go I may be adding a new child in April. Just depends
on what the breeder has if this pregnancy takes. I am looking for a male
this time around do to size being so much larger than the ladies.

So we shal see what the Goddess has to offer us.

Dropped in, as suggested...
Now living the dream in a 150 year old farmhouse in France. Everything hauled from Germany using the beast and a 7000lb trailer, only needed additional help when we moved all 4 horses together as our horse box just carries 2 of them.
As you can imagine from the age, there is some work to get everything sorted, and I need to improve my French. The house is warm and dry, and we have a wood burner in the kitchen for when the power fails, which is every time it gets windy or rains 😩

Ok for viewers that can put up some more than just potty mouth.
Foamy Squirrel tends to be more sewer mouth and very anti-PC.

Warning video has some very bad Foamy Squirrel language.

If you don't want to hear it then don't listed.



You have been warned.

There are times you really, really, really need to double check the order button you just clicked on instead of trying to run out the door. I couldn't figure out why Les said the UPS guy struggled to bring the package to the garage door.

Mostly needed for the Dozer once it thaws out. Now I think all cables will be red, with the neg side having a black ring of heat shrink. Thank god black was out of stock when I ordered.

You have learned my trick for self depleting ballast.

Around here where it tends to be wet snow you get so
much more bang for the buck aka : shovel scoop.

[QUOTE]

is.... that.... a.... full.... 100' spool?!

Ya' gonna' order a case of lugs and glue shrink wrap to go with it???!

Not that I have EVER made a mistake ordering things...

You did say you wanted to do a whole new cable route design -- it will all be pretty low resistance by the looks of it!

Yeah, 100 foot.

Of 4/0.

About 85lbs.

4/0 would be a little overkill for what I have in mind.
