Thanks, but Ill have to pass. I'm pretty stuck on the 99-2003 7.3L engine. I've done a lot of reading and it seems like this is one of the toughest engines out there as far as used and in my price range goes. I have a thread of a truck that is basically exactly what I'm looking for, but I, of course, will probably have to wait until tax time to get a truck. If you want to check out what I'm looking for, the link below is to said thread.

Taking Friday off to work on mom in-laws roof. The boss has been giving me job after job so I am wide open all day long. My dad is not doing well at all. They moved him into hospice on Tuesday so now it's just a matter of time.

It raining down here. I think the weekend is going to be clear and cool.

Has your dad been sick a long time? Mine died of a heart attack. I think been military prepares us a little better , but it is still hard. Ask God for strengh ti get thru it.

Sorry to hear about your dad. I'm still young, so hopefully I have a while before having to go through that. But I have seen my fair share of deaths in my family the past few years... One recently. Praying for the strength you need to pull through.

Its raining in Augusta too. Real crappy morning. Supposed to clear up tonight and get a little warmer going into our long weekend.

Thanks guys,
He had an aneurysm on his brain. Happened about a month ago and steadily going down hill since then. I have dealt with too much death, too many combat buddies to even think about.

Rainy here too. I am starting back on the transmission job and hope to pretty much wrap it up today. Thank goodness it's an inside the shop job.

Thanks !!

The boss moved the new guy to work with someone else, I guess he knew I didn't need the extra aggravation.
