I have to run to Sams club and the wally world for some last min stuff so I can make a pumpkin cake tonight. Hopefully everyone is in a good mood!!
GOOD LUCK with that. The exit for the mall here (which also happens to be MY exit) was backed up around the exit, and out on the access road. It was much faster to pass my exit and back track. I didn't even want to see what Wally-World looked like!! I stopped by my local Game Stop for a last minute gift (Guitar Hero World Tour) for my Daughter. Okay, for me too....

Well I must say I did not get a Full throttle run but I like the 7.3 a lot more for city driving.

Thank you for the move Jim, and Merry Christmas to you and Jami. I may be down there pretty quick myself, within a couple hours drive of you. I am ready for that weather for sure.

Wow nice to see the OT back in business on the 7.3 board. Thanks Jim!

Well all, I'm on here for unexpected reasons tonight.

Waterpump on the cheap took a dump tonight. Guess what I get to do on Friday.

Luckily the AZ here has one in stock, along with upper and lower hoses for good measure.

Dan, how hard is a WP on a 5.2? I hear its no big deal just have to get around the bypass hose ontop of the thermostat.

Jim I dont know ya, but good job on getting the O/T back home!


Feels good to be home

I wouldnt mind an upgraded turbo for my truck, thought about it, but I also thought about miling out my 7.3 and doing a cummins swap when the ol 7.3 finally gives in.

Home sweet home!

I was wondering about the lack of posts in the last few hours on the old one!

Cris, bailing off of quads might not help those headaches too much!

Joe, I know how ya feel. I had to run into town to get my dad a Christmas gift he sprung on me yesterday....475 Linebaugh ammo...24.99 for 20!

I almost got rear ended getting off 95 because the exit ramp was backed up...I cut thru parking lots and all my secret places that others dont know of dont have the ***** to use! Thanks goodness I was only in that mess for 5 mins!
