The internet!
The internet is a beautiful thing (sometimes). A couple of days ago my Dodge decided not to use anything but 1st gear. I drove it home at 20mph for about 5 miles. I started digging on a few diesel sites and got a few ideas. I called Diesel Transmission Technology - DTT Performance Diesel Transmission and Power Accessories and a lady diagnosed the problem over the phone. $17 later and the ole Dodge is shifting great. A plastic $17 speed sensor in the tranny was the culprit. I had already decided the tax refund was going to be spent on a $1850 tranny with a billet converter. That will be in my future but I want to milk all I can out of the old truck for now. Gotta keep the tow rig going.
Later,

Yeah, I guess I do. If I didn't care about the left side of my truck then I'm sure I wouldn't have needed your help. I'll try harder next time. Can you get me an ARB for Christmas next year? I can come up with the compressor.
Later,

Yeah, I need to just quit attending these rides because I am running on borrowed time as it is. Diesel prices may just help save my 40.

I reward myself at the end of my work day with a little web wheeling on MUD. I start on the CLC Forum and if still conscious, hit the 40 Tech and the classified forums. Sometimes I even make it to eBay.
Good news! I gave my 2-week notice on Friday. Awesome new opportunity with a former boss in ortho. Butts and guts got old. My interview was a couple of phone calls. I didn't even put on a coat or tie!
Part of my acceptance was the week of June 2-6 off. So, I will take the little man to camp and make it to the Razorback Ramble. I don't know if the GunRunner will be ready by then so I may be looking for a shotgun seat (I'll never agree to "ride bitch").
Anyone know of a decent 2000 - 2003 100 Series for sale?
Hijack over
Love that internet!
I already know just what maintenance items to address when/if I get a 100.
So Jeff, What about a little ARMOR to protect that awesome 40?!?!
Cheers!
