Evening boys. That deer was grilled to perfection... 
Too bad it was on the bumper lol. I have some pics on my phone that I will put on here eventually. I have an appointment with the adjuster on Friday... Chances are the truck will be a total loss. I get first dibs on buying it back, but I'm not sure if I want to. With having to go through all the safety's all over again, it may cost me way more than its worth. I know it needs tires right now, not to mention the brakes are feeling like they're needing attention and the front end will no doubt be an issue. I think I may be better off letting it go and watching for another deal.
If I can get enough in the settlement, I've got my heart set on finding a sweet 80-96 F series 4x4.
My dad is getting discharged and heading home tomorrow.

Today the wind was from the south instead of the north like yesterday where the forest fires are John.
Good luck either way Sherm, either getting your truck fixed or finding a new toy.
Say hi to your dad from all of us here.
So is it like a loss of power Curtis?

Hopefully it isn't anything major or pricey but just in case keep your diesel mechanic friend close by.

Happy Thursday mornin'all. I'm on vacation next week. Time to do some work on the 56. I bought all my rear brake parts from Rock Auto. Shoes, drums, all the hardware, park brake cables, and park brake hardware. It was cheaper than buying 2 brake drums here. Sherm glad to hear your dad's doin good. Good luck with your pickup. Hope everything works out. Curtis; If it's a cylinder problem, you can isolate it using an infrared temp gauge on the exhaust manifold's. Hope you see some rain soon Morris. Mornin' John. Have a great day guy's.
