I just want a sum8!tc4!n' manual trans option in trucks again.

I got the timing set in tonight. That tensioner was a fun little bastage, LOL.



Also.... found the source of the leaking coolant.

I do too. But how about one that starts out w a convertor, then locks up, quickly, with each gear. It gives a low-low for starting out with tows, and adds (continues to couple) power until you release the clutch, at which time, that gear locks in.

Suppose to be almost 80 today. It's a little too hot but I'm ready for a warm up.

Did you guys get that snow in Colorado they were calling for ?

Ended up with just 4", Brew. The driveway stayed clear and it all melted off for the most part the next day. I would like tho have had just a little more, but it was enough for things to really start greening up.

That doesn't sound like I could do a burnout with that, LOL.

I grew up, 4x4, but if form follows function and 2WD is all you will EVER need, then a 4x4 is just to show off, and IT is the sissy truck.
