Ok the reason I asked a was becasue around here I have to go like 50 miles or so for an alignment on my wreckers. They are only an f350 and f450 but one weighs 12,000# and the other weighs 11,000# and no one around here can handle the weight on their racks. Kinda sucks but that is the way it is.

Yeah, I used to have the same problem when I had wreckers. Had to go a ways even in the city...

But once we are up and going, I can help you out if needed.

Hey Jay yeah I was all ready to watch the race and then the rainout. Oh well what ya gonna do. At least I got outside and got a few things done. I take it you got your x-mas stuff put away?

Thanks David I may have to take you up on that. Are you going to have access to airbag kits for my trucks there? I would like to get a set on one of them sometime in the future to help level it out when a car is on the hook.

Wow guys, you've been busy

It was an interesting weekend.

The placed we stayed at was actually a house. It was clean, but Mike Holmes would have had a hay day. The guy did all the work himself, you could tell when the burnout started, or maybe it was because the guy was a burnout. I met him.

Had a good time. The converted silo was cool. The barn was converted to a party area complete with stripper pole! The silo had a bedroom in it. The bed was suspended on chains. Behind the bed was a couple of wips and handcuffs. Do not know if it was intended or left overs from the last bachelor party. Well, we were in Wisconsin so who knows.

I ended up getting 13.6 mpg with the F350 and it was windy, better than before the mods.

I ran the data logger on the scan gauge. The average temp on the trans was 138 degrees with a high of 147. It ran pretty much 90 - 95 over the outside temp.
