    FYI... Pen Air and Alaska Air Freight f'n sucks!!!

    Lost a replacement starter for our 8V92 hydraulic engine, turns out it got pulled off the plane and misplaced...

    Just venting. Been trying to build Karma points for the last few days, send positive thoughts to Dutch Harbor, please!!

    Amazing how a $1500 air starter is costing us $95k in down time..

    this!!!!!!

    ya we have had some problems with gold streaking stuff sometimes.




    And as for my truck, my ADD is guming up so hopefully today I will jump it to actuate it a couple times to get it moving again. And some friendly info my cousin is a Toyota mech and he says that the best way to not have it stick is to shift into 4lo and drive for a couple miles on a dirt road or snowy trail to keep it free and working properly. And at the least shift thru 4hi and lo then back to 2 wd at least 5 times every 3000miles

    Chinese steel brought into the us and speedily welded up. They've got a rear bumper in there as well and those welds are UGLY. They market it as a US product when all the leg work is done in china, hence the lowball price.
