You'll love Mesquite, Bill! That's all I'll smoke over anymore. Built me my own smoker, 12 hours nice and slow with smoke < 190* and the bones just pull out of the slab of ribs so clean. Not to mention what a nice brisket is like slow smoked like that. Damn, now I'm getting hungry! And, today's my birthday on top of that. Shiner Bock and mesquite BBQ, what a combo!
 
Happy bday Husker! I ate beef brisket bbq at Burning Oils fav restaurant, never had it before. WOW it was good, with a baked potao half the size of texas! LOL
 
I'll have to set you up right with my smoker when you get here. You'll find out why Nebraska's called The Beef State. How about some Black Angus ribeyes so tender you can cut them with the side of your fork and they just melt in your mouth?
 
cow farts are destroying the ozone layer. I will be saving the world, one steak or burger at a time! :D

did you get your fridge fixed bill? also, keep us posted on the gearing, 2000RPM at 60 is where you should be when locked in OD.

have fun, and good luck!
 
My vin number according to the GM service guy says I have 4.10 gears.

While on the subject I have a 4 bolt fan and clutch and a serpentine belt. Why cant I just bolt on one of the more efficent fans to my clutch????? I think everyone is assumming I dont have a 4 bolt and serpentine belt. Right after they made Johhny Cashs Caddy they gathered up everything that was left over n made my truck, its an enigma! LOL
 
How's things progressing Bill?

Hope you'll be back on the road soon and good as new...

Getting ready for our second beach camping trip next week, so things have been hectic around here...I forgot to show you this when you were here and Hayley reminded me that I just had to show you ...

Yes you can bolt on a better blade such as a '98 20" flyswatter to that clutch. I definitely know about that wrong pulley size thing, got an O'Reily's "high output" alternator for my '94 - smaller pulley gave it more amps at idle but made my tach run way fast, like 2300 rpm @ 65MPH with a 3:42 rear! I told the counter guy three times 6.5 diesel, gave me a gasser alt.
 
Hey Paul tell Hayley I said she was sitting that horse centered n balanced. She has a natural sest to do that with hardly any riding!!!! Went to see King Ranch today, AWESOME!!!!! However this is one wore out cowboy. Still in the same ole campground waiting on podiatrist appt Monday. Will tell yalll bout King Rsnch later, gonna take a nap in the ac like a ole man!!!! LOL
 
Nothing wrong with taking a nap in the A/C like an ol' man, especially when the heat index outside is well over 105*F!!
 
I have the set up from xxdieselsupply.... It is the duramax fan. When standing by the driver door I can feel a good bit of air blowing on my feet when it is idling. Works great.
I have plenty of plugs here...:thumbsup:

Yup, I have one of those from the same place, too. Drove back from Colorado in 113* heat at 76MPH on the cruise control and stayed rock solid at 197* on the temp gauge the whole time. Heath sells the same thing, too.
 
I am going for the steel one Husker has, the price is right.....free AND includes help with the installation !!!! LOL Eventually I want a dmax one but yall know wants n needs..... I wants a cool truck that can run the ac, I needs to get by!!!!

Zielinski family I am headed ur way, just gotta get a lil foot wound healed first.

Stuck here in Corpus Cristi State Park. They oughta have great dove hunting down here the trees are so full of them cooing and hoo hooing that u cant hear yourself!
 
Could be worse, they could be seagulls instead of doves and you'd be up to your ankles in bird shit!
 
LOL Husker u gotta good point there, have a few gulls but they mostly hang out with the picnic folks.

Man I feel great today!!!!!! Gonna take the motorcyle, thats what my friends call the elec wheelchair to the wifi hotspot at the picnic shelter and send yall a bunch of pics! Then gonna ride up to the main road n see if I can rent a pole n go fishing, drown some worms! Did I mention I feel GREAT, like Tony the tiger!!!!! Could jump a ten rail fence with a sack of red dog chop on my back!!!!
