    Poll 10/26/09 Would you loan your truck out?

    Voted best friend. Some of my employers have trusted me with very expensive equipment and I return the favor with the most expensive thing I own. Otherwise, never.

    Time for another damned fool crusade

    I like the way you think Missy. I'm ready to live vicariously through you on this build too.

    Relatives???????

    Don't know if this is the right area but.... My great grandmother's name was Sarah Elisabeth Saunders (nee Palmer) from Lawrenceville VA who moved to the Macon GA area and lived there for many years.

    Massive steering failure... With Cognito braces

    Sorry all, I searched DP and it was Fabtech that had the recall, although some also seemed to have had issues with the Moog unit.

    Massive steering failure... With Cognito braces

    Wasn't there some reports of substandard Moog pitman arms a couple of years ago? Try searching old posts on DP maybe. Glad everyone is ok.

    You know you want one!

    I just bought a '94 Ford aerostar awd with 125k miles on it that was owned by a 70 year old retired mechanic that did his own maintenance. 4 new tires 3 months ago, $1400. Hoping to get 8-9k for the '01 CRV. I like cheap so far.

    You know you want one!

    I saw a boat almost exactly like that in the Canadian Tire/Walmart parking lot a couple of weeks ago. Anyone know the make or model? Going by the principle that ugly is cheap (ford aerostar) the price would be right in my range.

    (08/03/09) Have you ever gotten your truck stuck?

    Got the truck sideways and ready to go over a 20' bank on wet clay on the sidehill behind the house. Called my buddy with an LMM to straight things out.

    (6/10/09) Do you have a name for your truck?

    Norman. Solid, dependable, not flashy.

    Loping or surging at idle...it seems like my truck has a big cam in it.

    Mine used to do this at high idle until I started putting 250ml of 2 cycle oil in each tank.

    Blade or blower

    6'-8' of snow a year. 60 yard driveway. Also 7' drifts under the eaves of the house that I can't reach with a blade. Anyone have experience with Honda snowblowers?

    (1/19/09) How much do you spend on average per month for fuel?

    I'm in camp for two weeks at a time and the wife's CRV sometimes gets used as the family vehicle, but I still go through a tank and a half a month.

    Whats so great about a skid steer?

    They are like a rubber tire backhoe; pretty good at lots of things and very flexible, but not really good at many things. I think the choice of attachments and ease of transport behind a pickup are the big selling points.

    Oil Changes

    Sounds fine to me.

    Brake lines

    I had the same problem when a "competent" mechanic rebuilt my front end. When I replaced them I was able to adjust the slack through the clamp to make sure they didn't rub lock to lock.

    Towing Driving Habits?

    If the road is not slippery I use cruise and T/H. Like others have said sometimes I will lock out overdrive if it's not shifting down as quickly as I think it should. I let the grade braking do it's thing on the downslopes; the TCM/ECM is smarter than I am.

    Bags leaking

    Mine do the same. I air them up every day.

    volt meter questions

    Mine does the same thing. I think it is the intake heater. Hasn't been a problem in five years.
