Morning Troy and everyone else.
Cory it was nice to meet you yesterday, did your shocks go in OK
Nice seeing the crew (Dave , Lee and Troy) again looking forward to our next gtg, that will be the THIRD at Troys.......... Come to think of it the next one Mike (ford79) has one it will be his third as well.
Troy your trans issue really really really sucks, let me know if you need anything before the camping weekend.
Dave I appreciate your help with the stabilizer. I will have that ordered later today, about 3. Also let me know if you found the Link for camping.
What a blast, Thanks for holding another GTG and Troy let your wife (Beth?) know the lunch was fantastic...............Sorry my memory has gotten worse since my third surgery.

Morning Tom, Troy, and Lee! (That makes Three) Morning Cory! (Makes Four) It was good to meet you up there. Hopefully you can find a camper soon. They still have open spots!
Hope the toolbox is wide open this morning!!!
The shocks went in "okay" for Cory. Had a few little fights with 'em, but we won in the end. I made it home okay, exhaust stayed as it was.
Now I have to get to work on the camper and get it cleaned up and ready for the GTG. Plus cater to the wife a bit I suppose. It is mother's day after all!!!
Talk soon!
Troy, thanks for having us, and thank your wife too. The food was awesome! Now, hopefully we can get your trans fixed up! I did have one thought. You said the wiring was goofy. Any chance the two speed sensors are hooked up backwards?
I just called and made a reservation for the campground and I am good to go for that!!!

Hey everyone!
Yes, Thanks Troy for hosting it was a good time had by all! Shocks went in ok, as david said, the ride home was better than on the way there.
Tom you will probably notice a difference when you put 1 (or 3) stabilizer in. I noticed a difference between old and new!
I will try to find camper by the outing, either way I will make it camping or bullsh!#in.
Better get back to work, Later fellas

Goooooood morning Minnesota. We made it home from AZ about 1a.m. today. Just got up a little bit ago. I need to go back and catch up. No wi-fi at the house in AZ so I was not able to check in.

Hey there Jay nice to see you made it back home! Hope everything went well for you.
No problem on having the GTG guys! Dave I checked the two sensors and they are correct. So I will have to wait and talk to Brian on Monday.

Evening everyone.
Thanks again Troy for hosting and thank Beth for the great food. Sorry I had to leave early.
It really sucks on the trany Troy. When we got back from the test drive and Dave said it was only a quart low, I was a little worried, but waqs hoping for the best. Did not want to be a pessamest? like Topside Toolbox Tommy, (ok 3 words that start with T).
Thanks Dave for the help with the stabilizer, it helped, but I still was moving around. I am pretty sure it is the tires.
With the tail wind I got 10.3 mpg on the way home.
Keep us posted on the trany Troy, and let me know if you need any help.
