Now that is tempting, I would love to see your part of the country. Maybe in the near future.

paul,
i'm cool. if there is something that i know about or have ran into before, i just like to try and point you in the right direction on where to look or where to test. thats just the mechanical side of me. sorry! your brakes are hydrualic, but the booster side of it is or should be vaccuum. specailly on the diesels! they have a vaccuum pump that is belt drivin'. the diesels don't build vaccuum like the gas rigs do! which draws off of manifold vaccuum. thats why the diesels have a vaccuum pump! if that pump starts goin' south it will effect alot more then the 4x4 operation,brakes, heat and a/c,etc. i know you weren't ribbin' me. i was trying to give you some ideas on what to look for! i hope it these insights and ideas help!

I`m looking forward to having a wood stove in my shop this winter too, the more I think of it the more I like the idea.

thats what we had for heat back home too... good old birch. that stuff burns hotter and longer than anything. something about wood heat that warms you right through. not like this "air" temperature warm feeling that the gas furnace gives you...

Birch is pretty nice to burn too, it burns clean, and a little hotter, and usually lasts a little longer, and the smoke is a little bit toxic from it!

Pine crackles and smells kickass! Also if ya like cooking hot dogs or whatever pine is the best for that.

They are both nice though, for us pine was just very very plentiful!
