      14 years is a long time. I've had 13 jobs, so far. None over 11 years. Marriage only lasted 5 years. LOL

       

      Congrats on your new job Muggs.

  14. It took away from the Pace Truck build, but just picked up the wife a new Pink .380 pistol for a good price. Women always get in the way of a good truck build.

      Some folks have success locking them up, (or trying to) repeatedly on a gravel road. That's what I did and it seemed to work for me. I think that doing that activates the ABS and pulses air out.

  18. That moment when you find the parts you are needing half off!

      Congratulations. It sounds great.

  20. Yet another puddle of coolant under the truck. It has been pressure tested 3 times and holds 20lbs. However, leaks a puddle when it sits over night after being driven.

      Ouch. That will get your attention. Especially if your not used to spending on it regularly.

      An older vehicle has to get pretty bad before it comes close to costing you what a new truck payment will be. Don't get me wrong I know that new is nice for a while. Everything works and all you've got to do is pay.
