    She turned 100 today.

    My 2006 Chevy 2500HD hit the 100,000 mile mark today after 18 years and 12 days. 3000 some hours, I'd have to look at the hour meter to be exact. Major work was a new turbo a few years ago, and had some glow plugs replaced. Left rear axle seal, one of the hubs, can't remember much about the...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Not a thing wrong with the older Honda Accords. I owned 7 of them, first year model was a 1990 Coupe, the rest were Sedans from 1993 to the last one a 2006 Year model. All of them were 4 bangers, biggest issue I ever had was either the 2003 or 2006 Accord had a whine in the transmission...

    Good deal, not a thing wrong with the 4Runner, I'd drive one, wife's brother has an older one with lots of miles on it. He has got great service out of it with very few problems that I know of. Its the Tacoma seating position that I despise and I have ridden in more than a few of them. Of...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Reminds me of the times when my brother in law and I headed off to Deer camp. He'd drive his Toyota Tacoma, I'd drive my 2006, Chevy 2500HD. My truck was full in the cab and in the bed, since I was staying a good while. We would arrive at camp and at some point I would ask him what kind of...

    Our Florida members

    Yelp Unit453 (Nick) is down that way, I sent a message to him, checking on him. Hadn't heard back yet, hope him and his family are ok. I talked to him sometime ago sounded like he was real busy, so he might not be on the Net much, therefore no response yet.

    Vegetable Gardens

    ROPS works if used correctly and the operator of the tractor has to have a seat belt on and be able to stay on the tractor when it turns over. My brother in law turned a Kubota tractor over about 4 or 5 years ago, he’s still alive and with us today. Tractor flipped over on its side, the bucket...

    Vegetable Gardens

    That's the best way to teach them, flat ground operation first, no steep ground for a while. Many a good men have lost their lives turning tractors over on the steep mountain land around here and other places.

    Michelin XPS Rib

    I really like Michelin tires, I have had great service out of them. No experience with the rib tires your talking about. Right now I'm running Michelin LTX AT2's on my 2006 2500HD.

    Hang in there, I've been down that road before, except I had Basal Cell under my left eye. Can't remember what year, 5 or more years ago. Dermatologist did the Mohs procedure on it. That wasn't too bad until he cut me from the corner of my eye down. Biggest thing that hurt was when he made my...

    My 2005 Yukon XL

    I hear you about Dollywood, it's not cheap going in there and most of the rides are for older kids, plus adults. Once your kids gets old enough to ride those rides they will really enjoy it. I think Dollywood just added another roller coaster this year. We use to get a season pass and if we...

    My 2005 Yukon XL

    I would assume you all took in Dollywood while you were there? I have been to Pigeon Forge many times over the years, I can be there in less than 1.5 hours. We use to go for 3 or 4 days at a time, shopping, eating big, Dollywood and a trip to Cades Cove. Hadn't been there in about 5 or 6 years...

    My 2005 Yukon XL

    Sounds like a pretty good trip without any major issues. What part of Tennessee did you go to?

    Series 60 Blue Paint for engine

    Some of the older Pontiac V8 engines were a blue color similar to that. How is this GM color? https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/duplicolor-engine-enamel-general-motors-blue-aerosol-ceramic-resins-resist-heat-up-to-500-deg.-f-12-oz-de1608/7140888-P Another blue color a different code, seems...

    82 GMC K1500 /6.2L Diesel

    Nice truck you have and welcome. My Grandpa had a Chevy about that same color, back in the 80s. It was a gas V8, either a 305 or 350, can't remember for sure, heck I was young and chasing women back then... :D

    Frame schematics

    Yelp you missed it big time Marty, your ticker would have been beating faster. The post was removed, it had pretty girls wanting a man, a post with porn links. Moderator, nicely got rid of it, before many people saw it.
