LOL... I guess that's fair, I blamed my pending flashlight purchase on Brew. BTW Brew, my friend does have the same DeWalt light as you. It's a nice little unit. I'll either get it, or the DCL050 - which is 500 lumens. Now AK needs a light, LMAO.

I'll pass on the swim. At least until the water warms up. 62 ambient isn't going to make me want to jump into anything right away. LOL. Thanks for the offer though. It was kind of you to be so thoughtful.
I guess I should be thankful I didn't get a You T ube song from yuh.

The water might not be too bad, if the sewers overflow. There's a river flowing through the street out here. Could always get White out here to sample the water first...he's a little younger. Most likely get a good honest reaction nudging him in first...or see if he turns a different color anyway. So yea, damn straight I'm thoughtful.

Still have the factory glass in the 98, paranoid since this is year one the truck has been left outside.

Remember, the very next frames, he get's liquid Nitrogen'd. LOL. You don't stop much better, if any, in 4x4. It just makes taking off and going down the road, under 55, much easier. Keeps the rear end behind you, expecially without LS differential.


Enjoy the 4x'ing. I do, and I'm old. LOL

Oh I know, I love going off road but can't till I divorce dawife. Hell I drove my RWD ranger for 13 years in this kind of crap and only slid off the road once and recovered without a tow truck. You really don't need 4x4 in KC but people are convinced they do.

That's why I posted that pic because around here a large percentage of 4x4 drivers are convinced they can drive like they are running nascar on bad roads.............till they end up in the ditch. Sadly the rear is the stock LS.

Went over and looked at the 3V tonight. It has several codes. Injectors 5 and 7 have an open circuit (P0205 & P0207), bank 1 cam sensor open circuit (P0010), bank 1 sensor A cam circuit (P0340), and bank 1 cam sensor intermittent(P0344).

I'm thinking something is shorted out somewhere.... it was so damn cold we decided to call it a night before our twig and berries fell off. Possibly the ECU harness isn't plugged in all the way. I don't hear any clacking or anything, so I think the timing is fine. But I can't 100% guarantee that yet, LOL. It makes the same noise that every other 3V makes. They really are noisy motors.

Good morning thinkers!- hope you have a great hump day- or a great day humping, as the case may be!-( and try to be the humper,not the humpee!)
Yeah, AK, the knees have been a gift from above- its been a few years since ive been able to walk without pain and a wobble- i cant describe how it feels to be able to have the confidence to be able to walk any distance.
I want to thank you fellers for the thoughts and prayers, i appreciate it!
On another subject, mother nature has been teasing us the few days- it was 78 and sunny yesterday, its 65 and cloudy today, but... rain is on its way .... again
You gentlemen( yeah, you guys) keep your whistle wet and your powder dry!
