Evening all.
JJ, hope you get back on your feet soon, but take it easy until you can.
Justin, good luck with the plumbing.
Todd, NICE new toy!
The weather hasn't been TOO bad here today. Blowing and drifting right now, but it's Michigan. Deal with it! Temp's in the 20's. Not bad all in all.
I figured out yesterday that we have a HOLE in the transfer case of LadyT's Z71. It's been a KNOWN problem, worthy of TSB's, but never a recall. If you have a late model half ton GM with 4x4 and an "auto" button, you'll get one also, sooner or later. We got ours later than sooner, but a guy I just talked to did an '06 this week with 60K on it. They've been known to get holes with less miles than that. There is a puney clip that wears and breaks, and the oil pump wears through the case, making a hole in the rear case at the top.
I've just about had my fill of GM's BS. But it's obvious that there probably isn't anything else better. I want a HORSE!

yha i really wish we never sold our old '66 D-500. that thing could plow like a mother, lol although at least its not bitterly cold like it gets sometimes. i would rather the snow than it be like 5* and down to like -1* with the wind chill.
