I need to get back off it.... damn stuff gets a hold of you.

Welp, I ordered a bi-directional tool. Couldn't pass this one up at 285 dollars. I actually got this to do a Quicklearn RFE, even though it responded back that it didn't work. My Buddy paid full price ($420) for his. If you're interested, just click that coupon, then use promo code LLKSN5KU to knock it down to 285.

Ain't that the truth! It surely does.

I'll opt for lemon squeezins or some flavor stuff she gets at the grocer once in awhile. For a better than water beverage, but not the same. To bad I don't care for Tea, but I really don't wanna live to 100 anyway.

If you have to try anythig, that 0 sugar lemonade mix is about the best imo. Add a vial to a bottle of water and shake.

The real kick in the nuts is I quit drinking it for 6 years, then my dumb azz picked it back up. It's just too easy to hit Maverik when I'm out and about. This summer, I was out and about a lot.

EDIT: We did a 4L60 on a 93 Chevy. I'll just say, the old 97 Eff One Fiddy would dust that thing.

I've only used Snap-On, and v lil. Can you put in a VIN for a more peppy version and get some of those parameters? Or, do you just "know" what to try, and sneak up on a setting for this and that, that won't create a bomb?

Damn dogs....
I'm out putting up Christmas lights and being careful on the bench and the ladder.
While I'm working the idiots pulled some logs outta the fire rack and chewed the bark off of them.
I found out when I tripped over one and landed almost face first on the concrete.
Got my hands up just in time in the push up position to break my fall.
But bounced my chest and chin off the concrete.
Good thing I got extra layers on and my winter beard, no scrapes and didn't knock any crowns loose. lol

It's not a tuner. It has special functions to help you reset different things required on newer vehicles. A brake change isn't just a brake change anymore. In fact, I've heard some newer vehicles even require a "relearn" for replacing power window motors, headlamps, etc. It's ridiculous.

SOB'n garage door spring just broke.I was snoozing on the recliner, and the Wife left. When the door shut - it let loose about 6 inches before it reached the bottom.

Guess I'm going to be listening to some Molly Hatchet. It's $200 less if I replace the garage door springs myself.

W deadly serious stuff, and stuff I don't do even bi-monthly, I want to hear every creak 'n groan of what I'm working on. You can't afford the wrong move, or lack of a right move, on these. She have any reason to get rid of you? These are a good way.

I'm confident in myself... Ron offered to come help me too. I'm more worried about dropping a tool on one of the Stangs than anything else, LOL.
