PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

Good grab, I have a box as well and really line the extra storage. Would prefer a tonneau but have yet to find one I like that has a system that replaces my Yakima racks.

 

Holy Shmokes. That's a steal!

 

Tip: If you do change the fluid yourself, make sure you remove the fill plug first before the drain plug. Especially if the fill plug has never been removed before.

 

Might as well change the drain plug and fill plug gasket. They are truly crush washers. Some will tell you they don't need to be changed. I will tell you otherwise.
Using your trucks VIN, you can get the part number at the URL below. Same gasket used in both places. Buy them at your local dealer or ebay.

Currently parked illegally at a coffee shop in Ambler while picking up an Uber Eats order...

I've already been waiting more than six minutes for the order!



UPDATE: Turns out it was ready the whole time!

 

Sub, gonna be doing this once it warms up.

 

Does anyone actually flush it or just drain and refill?

 

I spray it out with the garden hose.




Just drain ans refill. Don't over think it

 

I took these pictures yesterday...

This is what happens when you get excessive winds on garbage day! This is the cul-de-sac I live on...




Look the other way up my street...

 

In the truck...

 

The basketball hoop up ahead was placed on its side ahead of the winds, and did not blow over...

 

The house on the right with its garage door open and the silver SUV in the driveway is one of only two in the whol neighborhood with only one central air-conditioner...

 

Quite a few people have these Rubbermaid-style storage bins, and at least two of them blew away...

 

That brown house lost a shutter, and the one next to it almost lost its mailbox!

 

Charlie,
Forgive me if I'm asking too much in a public forum but, when did you receive your diagnosis? What was the experience like? Were your parents supportive of the diagnosis, and how did they succeed in supporting your social development?
I ask because I work with children on the Autism spectrum, and overall, their parents are pretty top notch, but always looking for perspective.

 

Not a problem at all! That's what this thread is for!

Diagnosed in late 1998 at age 9 by a pediatrician in Virginia Beach. I just know him as "Dr. Casey". I did not find out until August or September 2000, at the age of 11, while snooping through my mom's files. My parents were very supportive of the diagnosis, though I was a wee bit pissed off about their decision to keep it from me. They said they kept it from me because I was so young and they saw no need to tell me at the time. Looking back, I kind of understand this. My parents were definitely top notch, but the problem I encountered in public schools was being treated like a retard, for lack of a better term. I had several genuinely great teachers, and thankfully I was never in any of the classes for low-functioning special needs students. However, I was bullied a lot in school because I was (A) the new kid, and (B) "different" in the eyes of the other kids. The reason I was almost always the new kid is because my dad was in the Navy for 25 years and we moved lot.
