Hi, my name is Daniel and I am almost a dieselholic. Not really, it just sounds cool. Most of you that have been in the TDR know my life story and criminal history, so I wont repeat it here. I am a jack of all trades, currently unemployed (though NOT draining the economy like some
- I have neighbors who can outdrain any working person's tax input), going to horseshoeing school in March or May so I can start making some decent money, and not have a boss to answer to. I have driven trucks (farm- CDL exempt), ridden bulls in rodeos (til I got fat in college), worked in factories, done some construction work, and a lot of other stuff I cant repeat or think of now. I have some mechanical ability, and know a good deal about 1st Gens and diesel engines in general. I've done injector pump rebuilds (oki, resealed, but that's all some shops do for their $600 rebuild), transmissions, head gaskets, injectors, etc, etc. My pickup is slightly modified- pump putting out a little more than stock, DDP stage 1 injctors, 14cm W-G housing, 4in exhaust.
I have a great girlfriend 4-1/2 years my junior who bought her own house and new (Dodge) truck before she was 22. She works at an automotive shop in Cape, and they are upgrading from a 3-bay shop to an 8-bay shop. We are fixing up on the house she bought in 05; plan to resell it this year (I need to get off the computer and get to work, but some people asked me to come and chime in) or next, and make a handsome prfit off it. It's amazing what cutting grass, removing an old fence row, and removing old garpet will do for the value of a house.
