You guys were chatting about the slick roads the other day.

Over in Shelton there was a 50 car pileup along Route 110.

I understand that Randy's Ring & Pinion shipment arrived at the dealership while I was off at school.

I don't have a firm install date, the dealership is thinking Christmas week.

All I have to get now are:

Polyurethane bushings which the dealership is looking into for me as the performance parts store tells me the catalogs end with 2004.

At this time I'm going to only install an air tank with a tire valve stem to charge it.
I can't afford the Oasis air compressor for a while.

I'll try to remember to grab my bottle from my parents house. Safe to say you have a valve to put on it? My brother busted the one one mine

Hi Dave
I take your trip went well.

I want to do an inverter on my truck so I can run my 2hp nail gun compressor so I could really pump some air to my horns.

Hi there Greg & Andy

Yes Andy, I had a nice trip, missed the snow storms.

Had a dusting of snow on the first morning of school, and at 5 - 10 mph slid down a shallow slope into an intersection.

Thankfully no traffic was around.

Greg are we talking about the valve or the reglator? I've got a bottle and regulator and Miller MIG welder my bottle is just empty. Gotta get bossman to fork over some cash so I can go get it refilled.

The valve/regulator is a single unit if I remember correctly. Its a smaller bottle but I will grab it before our next GTG so your father shouldn't need to replace yours.
