Did the Exxon Valdez crash in your driveway?

:happy175::lol:

Right! The driveway is **** anyway so I just don't give a **** at this point. I'm gonna get all the leaks fixed. Then I'll get a new driveway. That's a lot of oil. :happy175:

Oh man, when I was working at tetralene about 11 years ago. We would get our way oil in 55 gallon drums and had them on a drum dolly.

New guy I was training had his way oil alarm going off. I told him fill it and then go back and sandblast because I had nothing else for him to run. Filled up alarm off and he goes to the back.

About 20 minutes later Jim comes and said oh ****! I asked what he said the oil is pouring on the floor! By the time I got over and closed the valve he drained almost the whole drum on to the ground and down into the water drain.

We were in a neighborhood too. If the epa were to see that, big fines. Lol

What muffys did you put on? They sound good

We put a set of 3 inch Jones Flow Pack Single chamber mufflers under it.
They sound pretty damn good for the $26 each they cost from Summit.
I ended up buying 5 of them to get the free shipping.
One set ended up under the truck to replace the Flowmaster 2 chamber Delta Flows.
One will end up under the daily Suburban to replace the Flowmaster 2 chamber that has been under there for 16 years.
And the other set was for @Maxwellvis for Christmas for his car.

Once we got them under the truck he loved them and said he now knows what mufflers he wants for his car. Surprise, he got a set under the tree.

Where the hell is all your snow?!?

I'm out there every day with a blow drier getting rid of it.

lmao......dunno and dont care. We've had a couple of 2-3" dumps but a day or 2 after it was 39 and rain so got rid of it.

Seeing grass is therapeutic....helps me forget the zip code I'm sentenced to. I'm ready to set stuffed birds around the yard and gluing leaves back on. Need more rum.

Meant to post here yesterday but ended up in the other post I started.

Other than waiting on a rag joint, the box is on. The new radiator is on. While I was at it, the old aux tranny cooler was 86’d because there’s no reason to believe heat will be a problem.

The list is getting shorter! Leaks be damned.

It's that time of year again in the Midwest where I sit in the garage and stare at it and long for the days of fair weather when I can drive it again. Does that count? Oh, I guess I did start it last weekend just for grins and to stink up the garage with 110 octane fumes, which made ME smile but my wife wasn't near as impressed as I was.

The final box arrived today. The coil springs!

Also last night, installed my oxygen sensor... after fighting the oem one, damaging the firdt 2 threads in the bung, and then forcefully using the new o2 to "retap" the hole due to a lack of a M18x1.5 tap..... alas, my truck still has a weird idle and rich condition, but suffice it to say, much better performance than before.

Thats a very risky game ive played, and it has kicked my ass before. I was out of options, and had to take mom to work this morning.

Thankfully it got past the bad spot, and reached.good threads and i could torque it down TIGHT.
