Membership March BS Thread
Greetings all, March is upon us and I hear we're going to have an early spring. I'll be doing roll call sometime today as well as making a feedback thread. Got a parts run planned for in the morning. Hopefully swapping the starter is all I need to get my truck on the road. If i can get some life out of her I'll go ahead and put the interior back together. Might even feel up to posting a picture of her in her sheep clothes.

I'm hearing early spring also. Need the rain to hold off for a week or so, need to get garden tilled.

Greetings Kramercd and thank you for taking the reins. I'm not on here much because I don't know much to offer but I will try to do better. My wife and I are currently getting over the flu but doing a lot better. My current project is rebuilding a 1970 460 to go in a one ton I have. As far as a get together this spring we won't be able to make it because life has us SUPER busy and we are not able to go anywhere. My wife still works and I am in the process of gathering up the things we need to get back into camping and fishing. Hopefully next year we will be freed up and can make the get together. I live near Texarkana and my wife and I are both 61 and have been married for 40 years. I hope all are well and we can get the chapter strong and active again.

I think we're here, at least in the chapter, to socialize. May not be why we came to the site, I figure we all got here because we had some kind of truck issue. Don't have any meet-ups in the works currently. Figure once we get the membership up we can discuss it and see how everyone feels about it. Plus I still haven't got my truck running and I refuse to show up to an FTE get together driving a Honda. Glad you dropped in, every post counts.

They make aftermarket butt warmers for the older trucks too, not sure about the steering wheel heater. My wife has a 2017 Jeep Cherokee and it's got the bells and the whistles and some of the whistles have bells on them. I'm a big fan of the heated seats, not so much the heated wheel. I can't turn all the fun stuff on an off, cars too smart for me.

Well I ran out of nuts ,bolts and screws , put all of the life giving fluids in their proper places and after a long hour and a half ( had to crank on it to get the oil into the heads being carefull to not over heat the starter ) she lit up . Took her for a test drive still has air in the system so I'm taking it real easy but WOW even on the lowest setting on the chip it's got some Umph . Have to check for leaks , recharge the ac, replace the seals and service the dana 60 front end , replace the rear u joint should be good to go .

You win lol I did hear mine start for half a second last night. Got it down to a fuel issue. It was nagging at me after I swapped the starter so I went back out and dumped some fuel down her throat and she busted right off.
