Evening Troy & Thomas & Jay if you are still around.

Jay, Sorry to hear about your mom, I hope she recovers quickly.

Hey Troy, if I am invited I would love to come help with that tranny, or I could do your trailer brakes while you are doing the tranny. I just hope my lawnmower saga ends by then. We got it all back together tonight and in the mower, started right up and missed. Crap! I then pulled one spark plug wire and it ran really bad. Put it back on and pulled the other and it ran marginally worse, then I noticed the spark plug wire throwing spark from the back of the boot.

Should have changed the wires when the engine was out, now I get to pull the engine back out and do it again.

I am correct that you guys all want a 6.0 tranny cooler? What transmison is that for? I may need to find a couple and corner the market.

Hey your quick Thomas, thanks! I will call him and see what he says and then if it is a good deal I will be nice and flip a coin with Jay for it.

Hey there Lee, you are certainly invited and all will be welcome! Thanks for the offer on the trlr brakes. The tranny cooler we are talking about is one from the 6.0 powerstroke with the auto 5r100 torqshift. They are much bigger than the ones that come in the 7.3.

Hope the lawnmower saga gets over soon for you!

Hey everyone, there is a poll up for possible get together dates for a MN & Wi GTG. It is located on the MN chapter main page.

Just an FYI

Yeah Lee I saw that I am going to wait and vote tomorrow after I talk to Brian at BTS and see when tranny will be here so I can try and not schedule my GTG the same weekend as his.

Edit: just looked, Pine City looks about a hour drive north of the Twin Cites

Rolled it and then drove it under a semi trailer? Wow.

Well guys and gals, what have I missed. The last month has been horrible for me. Life just keeps throwing me curves and I just needed some down time. So I see this thread is going like mad and I have missed most of it. Nice to see all the activity.

Nice to see you back Tom. Hope every thing starts to get better for you. I think everyone else has called it a night, and I am too. Have a good night Tom. I saw a goal set today of 1000 posts for March, and it looks possible. Thanks for all that you do.

Tom, sorry to hear about your last month. Let me know if there is anything you need.

I have been pretty absent from FTE of late, I missed most of 3 BS threads.

Good morning Steve and Troy.

On the tranny cooler thing if you find a good deal go for it Troy. I don't have the funds yet unless it is a REALLY awesome deal.
