Man did I miss that sound

Postby redneckroot » Sat Mar 03, 2012 7:44 pm

Had to pull the truck out to get to my wood splitter. Can't wait until the salts back off the roads so I can start driving it again. It idling there was music to my ears.

I feel your pain man :cry: Mine is burried uder the snow and I fire it up now and then to keep it clean and turning. I will drive it back and forth in the driveway several times to cure my addiction of wanting to be behind the wheel. Spring time is near, it's been a long winter up here and I am just beside myself, like a kid looking at his favorite candy behind the glass but no money to buy it ........ :lol:

I'm right there with you. I've been driving my Subaru more than my truck recently, but every time I get behind the wheel of the 'Ol Dually I get a grin on my face. Still can't decide between an NV4500 swap or a built auto for my truck. I'm leaning towards a Goerend auto and I'll just buy a 5spd 1st Gen later down the line.

As much as I like to have my 92 sit in the driveway in the winter, I HAD to get it out this morning, we got less than one inch of snow, but it turned into ice. I would rather drive my truck on ice than my VW. Almost all of the ditches on my 30 mile commute are shallow, so if I slide off the road again :roll: I can wrestle it back on the road. The rust is getting bad enough on it, I don't think much anymore sitting time will keep it from rusting further :(
