    My advice..don't ever say that out loud..you might cause her to wonder. As a 15 year married man, you don't want that

    I was literally just talking to my coworkers, I saw a sign saying "TT Ban" but it didn't say what it was. I was thinking "Temporary Travel Ban" but there were tons of people on the highway...

    Matt did you say 14 HOURS?

    Roads are a mess here. They keep changing the estimated totals... went from 14-21" down to 8-13" (which is still a bunch of snow), but now they're saying wintry mix and the possibility of ice... no thanks...

    saw the heavy stuff getting to Wilton, so went out for a first shoveling at 11ish. 2 hours worth.
    Looks like i finished J.I.T., getting real thick & sideways out now. first round was light fluffy stuff.

    I'm so glad my office is empty because I let out a very loud "Hah!"

    You spoiled 3rd Genners. My buddy just got a 2021 and has heated seats and everything

    Guys, how hard is it to replace an idler on a 2nd Gen V6? I'm almost positive Idler #2 in the top right is what's bad. I got a mechanic's stethoscope and it sounds like there's crushed glass in there. Even the sound in the cab make me feel like it's about to explode. Do I just move the tensioner to give slack, and replace the bolt in the center of the idler

    Edit: And can I get to the tensioner from the top? My skid plate is a bitch to get on and off. I know I'm being lazy but I'm not going outside to look myself right now lol

    Second Edit: It does seem as easy as locking the tensioner, and just the single center bolt. If I can do it from the top is yet to be determined... Anyone have a garage they want to let me use? I don't want to do this outside lol
