Raven's Tune-Up
I only put 2K on my rig, and decided to do an oil change, and a tune up. Seeuns that I have a bad lower back, I decided that Raven could help me, help her. (The story gets better.)
With the help of my grandaughter's step-stool, I still couldn't reach in to do what I had to do. Seeuns I had a compressor in the basement, and the hose, I decided to do this.
The neighbors asked me what I was doing, and I told them I was doing a tune up. Oh. I see. Are you gonna press charges for them flattening your tires?
I found out that the distributer was initially loose from the git-go, and after I did the tune-up, my Raven is better than ever.
It lowered 8 inches, and I had to 'help' the passenger side tire to get back up. (Reached behind and held it while I hit it with the air.) It left the rim.
Now I do 70+ with no issues, and 65+ on the mountains.
Thanks for the rant...

Dan, I've said it before and I'll say it again; Your truck is gorgeous, and I WANT her!
I love the humor. Very funny.
Your truck can only do 65 mph on the hills? Did I read that right?
