Your truck all sorted out Alex @emelianenkov ?

 

lol glass on your truck would not work out well.... i've seen how you like to wheel between tight holes
bushwackers???

 

But dat V8 5.0 diesel doeeeeeeee

Why would I remove them? That's literally the exact opposite of what I'm trying to do.

UHHHHH... Kinda...? Steering is still fuckey, and I need to reband my CV's. The tool and extra bands finally came in, so I might try to do that tonight!

What can I say? I love hugging trees

 

lol

 

My truck hates life with 35s, armor, and stock gears. Pretty sure my clutch hates it life as well

 

That's what I'm saying... That 5.0 diesel is a POS. Cummins should stick to inline cylinder engines. The 5.0 V8 diesel is either a flop or it has some serious tuning issues. It's not making the power it should, where it should, isn't reliable and is getting worse fuel economy than it's big brother in the 3/4 or 1 ton Ram. I started researching them as a potential for my next truck but found out rather quickly that it's not worth it. It has all of the downfalls as a 3/4 ton truck without the benefit of added capacity. Unless they make some much needed updates, I wouldn't own one. The gas model is a much better option.

Good news is, your stock clutch probably won't have to hate it's life for too much longer

 

He upgraded it. It's not stock

 

I'm using my bad shock as an excuse to waste time on dealer websites.

I saw a '17 F150 5.0 XLT that is really tempting to look at.

 

Ah... so it has a long, miserable life left ahead of it.

Come on over to the dark side

 

This 85 ft. Oak came down in the neighbor's yard last night, taking a couple hemlocks along for the ride.
Just settled in watching TWD and damn near had a heart attack when it fell. Shook the house.
Normal for big oaks around here, rotted and hollow like a bongo drum.
All the big trees that can hit my house have been removed over the years except for one, and that one is probably getting cut this Winter.
Big trees belong in the forest.
my neighbor was very lucky it didn't fall the other way...

 

Stage 3 BRUHHHH

 

That's pretty shitty

I wonder if you took the EGR and DEF systems off, if that would help any?

 

I've got power (wife confirmed earlier today when she was home), but no internet...

Phone line is down and as of right now, the phone company can't come out until Wednesday. FAK!

 

Just download porn at work to tide you over.

 

Not a bad idea right there... if I want to get fired!

My co-worker took some days off, and isn't back until Thursday... so I can't even get caught up later from home, to start fresh tomorrow. Going to start tomorrow behind already.

 

That's how every day is for me.... Uphill grind allllll day.

 

I hate that shit... when he's not here I get bombarded. I'm sure he does as well when I'm not here. I guess I "dislike" it because I don't like doing other people's jobs... but that's the shitty way our jobs are set up.

246 inbound emails so far... I'm sure plenty more to come, and plenty more after I leave at 5.

 

Fuck. That! time

 

I wish! Gonna have to go get my oldest from daycare after I get out of here, and then have to meet up with someone to buy something the wife found for him... some car toy thingy, to drive around the yard in.

 

Hahaha, jackass... although I consider it a victory as well. He's loaded, he has 3 vehicles to choose from, a freakin' Audi A7, a Land Rover LR4 and this Titan is his beater and supposed to make him "fit in" with the local boys in Boothbay while he is doing his construction projects. I told him he's doing it wrong.
