    What caused everything to go out at once? Too much pressure?

    Think it was just age.... water pressure is really low. Was only high for about 2 days ~ 18 months ago when the pressure regulator went out. The plumber that plumbed my house when it was new, was horrible. Think he just tightened the nuts too tight and the leak, was from the thingy breaking :notsure: If that's not it, then I have a gremlin :eek: Washer is old, too... guess I should knock it over and see where it's leaking from and see it I can just replace a cheap part vs buying a new machine

    It's going. Stayed home because we were supposed to get a big storm...nothing yet :bored:
    Mom's good. She's getting cabin fever. I promised to take her for a drive if she can get in/out of Runner.
    You got all of your shopping done? Kiddos sufficiently spoiled?

    He's great! :D I wish he would get over this chewing phase already... he'll be 16 weeks on Monday so hopefully not too much longer. Haha

    We have a bunch of sheep in the field behind our yard and he likes to sit on the deck and watch them.

    Ummm puppies can chew until 18 months old or older. Just be sure to have plenty of safe toys for him at all times and he will soon learn he can only chew on his toys.

    :thumbsup: something to occupy him. Lots of sheep - wait until spring... stinky!!!

    He's pretty good about not chewing on other things. Its us where he is a problem... when he tries to play with us he just chews on us and will ignore most toys. Best we have found is to play tugowar with him but it tends to make him even more mouthy... we got some pigs ears yesterday though and he seems to be pretty enthralled with them so hopefully it helps.
    I think we are going to buy an '07 F150 we looked at today. I'll post a pic in a sec.

    Does less backspacing on a set of rims really add that much more wear to the diff bearings? Thought I read something on here about how much wheel spacers increase wear

    Or I could be going crazy

    What size tires are you running and rim width will play into it a little, but basically the less backspacing you have the more leverage the tires have on the bearings because you are moving them farther away from the bearings. Unless you are running some heavy 35x12.50's or bigger then you will likely not hurt the life of your bearings too bad. I haven't seen a ton of people have to change wheel bearings.
