I just got back from Boise ID. Considering moving there so I went to check out the work situation ahead of time. Drove my 2014 ram 3500. Got 15.5 mpg on the way there and 19 on the way back. Averaged I think 68-69 mph each way.

I kept refreshing the new posts page, and this thread wasn’t coming up, and I was too lazy to go through the main page.

Anyone know someone with auto pedals that would trade them for my manual pedals from The Roo Hunter?

I'm sure you could find someone on one of the FB pages willing to trade. Seems like most of them guys hate autos

Yeah, I don’t really want to Facebook anymore. I’ve gone on it once, for about 30 seconds this year since they keep sending me emails.

I'm getting tired of all the ads. I keep updating my preferences or what the F ever they say to do and I still keep getting more ads. I report them all the time as spam, offensive, scams, violence. That's getting old though. I just want to scroll thru and get out, not look at ads or be bothered with them.

I got my 2nd ever 2 wheeled machine the other day, though the 1st was a Honda crf50 when I was 7.......but I got a big wheel crf100 to learn on. Like most modern carb’d small engines these days they’re lean to start with, and the PO put a pipe on it so it’s way lean. My jet kit is here so tomorrow I’m F’ing the overtime and taking some time to try a couple jets out.

I’m all kinds of stoked about this 6 hp

Working! Like a Hebrew slave!

When I ain’t doing that I’m at the house taking care of the kids so the wife can rest. She contracted some heart issues 3 1/2 months ago and was hospitalized for about a week while the doctors drained fluids off from around her heart. Basically congestive heart failure brought on by some sort of viral infection. Weakening the heart enough to decrease her ejection factor to like 15%............healthy heart is something like 55/70% for the normal human. We’ve been dealing with that and found out after this much time it’s only up to like 22% yesterday. Not good! Come Monday of next week she gets to decide which pacemaker/defibrillator unit she has installed the next day (Tuesday) and spend the night at a hospital. So say the least.......everyone is on edge with this problem. Me mostly because my better half is ailing and two I’m bleeding money. The heart meds she’s on is 471$ a month,and there’s no telling what this other thing will cost. This freaking socialist POS healthcare racket that we have sucks monkey nuts! Pre-existing condition is ok with this BS insurance but you can also have it with this one as long as you pay 2500$ a month for it. Freaking damn politicians,I hope the fleas of a thousand camels infest their rectums!

I will have auto pedals to get rid of as soon as I find a 2wd driveshaft to complete my getrag swap. Don't have one of those sitting around do you?

I have everything for a getrag 4wd setup, though the g360 is more of a core unit.

Checking junkyards does sound reasonable. I still have to hammer down where to get everything to build my 47 for manual vb, and holding a little over 500whp for now.

Ellis, I'm so sorry to hear that! :shock: I hope everything works out for you guys! She's too young to have heart issues, it's bad enough that she has to look at your ugly mug every day! :lol:
Seriously, hope she gets better soon and you can relax.

She is 36.....way too young.

I ain’t worried about myself......I’ll tote the load or do as much as I can. Sell anything if I can get her healthy again,with absolutely no problems.
