Good evening gurus. Spent the day installing a dual oil filter setup for the truck. Cut some wood for the upcoming cool nights at the campground. All in all a nice day here in NW Arkansas.

Good morning gurus. We're in De Soto Mo. headed to Arkansas to the parents house for the weekend. It's a nice stop after a long workday and drive. Good to hear your son is ok Brad. I've never had an encounter with a deer yet, some close calls but no accident. I hit a 2x4 on the freeway on the way down and it took out the guys mirror behind us. Lost the ac in the truck on the way so looks like I'll have to investigate that. Hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday.

Man can he play. I was able to see him live when I was stationed in Hawaii. That was fantastic.

Good evening gurus. Had a busy day at work. Was busy at home too. Changed the hood struts and the power window switches. Now I need to get the radio fixed. It started tuning on it's own. Oh well things tend to go bad after 25 yrs of service. Looks like some winter projects on the horizon.
Tomorrow we are headed to canton to go to the HOF induction ceremony.

Today was an ok day. Put the spare on the truck yesterday and today went to town and got four new tires for the truck.
Ended up getting some Bridgestone Dueler A/T. 285/75 R16 load range E. That is about all we got done today. Picked up a new mini fridge from Walmart. Now we have a little extra fridge storage that we really needed.

Good evening gurus. Had a pretty good day. We have thunderstorms coming through this evening. Started soaking the brake bleeders for the truck and I found a nice little bubble on the front. So tomorrow I'm off to buy two new tires.
Hope your wife gets better soon Tommy. Attach file: 2010-07-23 18.50.18.jpg (157.63 KB)![]() 2010-07-23 18.49.38.jpg (197.54 KB)![]() 2010-07-23 18.50.51.jpg (880.44 KB)![]()

Congrats on the purchase. Lets see some pics.
My suggestion would be if it is R12 is to keep it R12. Find the problem and fix it. R12 blows colder than 134. Your car do what you want. Mine had a bad compresser and it was cheaper to replace the compressor and recharge with R12 than convert it over.

Happy Birthday Tommy.
Spent the day washing and waxing and cleaning out the car. Swapped two plugs around from one cylinder to another. We had a thunderstorm roll through. So after all my hard work it got rained on. Once the rain stopped I dried it off. Been a pretty slow day otherwise. Hope everyone has a great evening.

Welcome to the forum. It would help us out a little more to know what yr car you have. Modified or stock.
Again welcome aboard. Good info here. I beleive the L98 engines had 24lb. injectors. Not sure on the lt1/4 or crossfire motors. I'm sure FIC will chime in with some good info.

I just got the droid this week also. A huge upgrade from my previous phone, a cheap samsung flip phone. I do like the large size it makes reading the screen easier. It's gonna take a little bit to figure this one out.

The prez was has not been proven to be born in Hawaii. so there is no correct answer to that question. IMO I think the prez was born in africa which makes him the not a citizen in my book.

I had a nice quiet weekend. We went and visited with the wife's son on sat. Sunday was my day. Had a birthday over the weekend turned 45. Helped out a church group that pulled into the park Sunday eve. Had to pull one out of a mud hole they drove into while trying to park. Got invited to dinner for that. Picked up some parts I ordered for the truck, so now I'm ready to put on the dual bypass filter setup I've been wanting for a while now.
Sorry about your grandma Rick. Hope for the best and prayer from us.

One thing you can take from the state screw up Tommy is next time they are out is to video the whole visit. It may help insure that they follow procedures correctly. That way you have evidence and not just he said she said arguments.
Best of luck.

If you only want to use one tool then the sawsall will be best. Just make sure you have plenty of blades and long enough ones to cut what you want. When sharp/new the sawsall will cut pretty quickly. Better yet get a battery one so there is no chance of cutting the cord by accident. have a few batteries and a charger around to complete the task.

We didn't do much today. We took it easy and relaxed. I'll have to give the car a bath if we get some good weather.

Why not blame him. He seems to think it is ok to blame Bush on everything. I'll get it. Just a little fustrating that is all.
The bad part is I need to get the window up by tomorrow afternoon because it is suppose to rain.

Well we made it home. Pulled into Ft Wayne at around 6pm. Got the car unloaded. Went to dinner with my parents who are up to help unload. Not much went right tonight. Closed the hood on the car and cracked the windshield, and the driver side window went down and now won't go back up. Went to pick up the truck and it wouldn't start. I think it needs a starter or solenoid. So looks like I have some projects to work on.

Well tonight we're in Columbia Mo. at the super 8 at mile marker 131. Hello to all my fello gurus here. We should be on the road again about 7am tomorrow. Should put us home in Ft Wayne about dinner time tomorrow. We are so looking forward to being done driving. Then the unloading part begins at the storage unit. Next would be giving the car a good bath this weekend.

Well it took a week to pack and get on the road. We left Portland late Sunday afternoon around 6:30pm. We stayed in Pendleton Oregon that night. Had a late start on Monday and made it to Brigham City Utah. We had to leave the cat in the truck overnight due to the hotel not allowing pets. Next morning when we got up to get on the road early we discovered that she was not in the truck. I left the vent window open and she squeezed out during the night. Took us about a half hour to find her. Thank goodness she didn't go far and stayed with the truck. We found her hiding on top of the rear wheels. That leaves us to tonight(Tuesday), we made it to Goodland Kansas. Managed to miss rush hour in Denver and Cheyenne. With some luck we'll be in Indiana on Thursday.
Talk to ya'll later.

Been apart from the wife for a yr now and she says it's time and been to long. She had a phone interview for a new positon here so with some luck she'll have a new job also. Hope everyone has a great guru day.

I just got the droid this week also. A huge upgrade from my previous phone, a cheap samsung flip phone.
