Alabama thread!

Does/did yours have the trans cooler?

 

@gixxerphil the short answer is if you throw out what the sticker says and add a receiver hitch. You could tow as much as you can stop. I can move/ "tow" about anything around the yard with my polaris ranger lol but could never get it stopped if going down the road.

My 02 duramax had a max towing capacity of like 18k or something close iirc. I couldn't count the times I hauled 18 round bales down the highway which could easily be over 23k.

 

No, I’ve got 2 trans coolers now though lol

 

Morning everyone!
Martin roof rack arrived! This is the second one I have purchased and Gage is awesome to work with. He got this one out to me in way under the lead time. Was shipped Monday and arrived Wednesday. Pretty impressive!

 

Good morning Bart.

From AlabamaWX
RADAR CHECK: Rain continues across much of Alabama early this morning, and as expected gradient winds (not related to thunderstorms) are strong over the northern half of the state. Winds have gusted to 35 mph at Birmingham within the hour. While the rain will taper off over North and West Alabama later today, wet weather persists across the southern counties of the the state this afternoon. A few strong storms are possible across South Alabama; SPC maintains a low end “marginal risk” (level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms there.



Temperatures will hold in the 58-65 degree range across most of Alabama today. Tomorrow will be a mostly cloudy day with some rain possible, mainly over the southern counties. The high tomorrow will be between 60 and 65 degrees for most places.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: A deep upper trough will move slowly over the state Saturday. The day will be cloudy and cooler with periods of rain; temperatures will be in the 40s and 50s. For now forecast thermal values don’t support any chance of light snow, but these cold core systems can bring surprises. Then, on Sunday, the sky becomes mostly sunny with highs generally in the 50s.

NEXT WEEK: The weather Monday will be dry and pleasant with a good supply of sunshine… the high will be in the 60s. A batch of rain and potential thunderstorms will move into the state Tuesday night. A front will stall out over the state Wednesday, and keep the weather wet at times over the latter half of the week. Highs will be mostly in the 65-70 degree range… See the daily Weather Briefing video for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 1973: One of the greatest snowstorms in Southeastern United States history occurred February 9-11, 1973. This storm dropped one to two feet of snow across a region that typically sees only an inch or two of snow per year. In Alabama, the heaviest snow was over the southeast counties of the state, where almost one foot was measured in some parts of Butler and Crenshaw counties, south of Montgomery.

ON THIS DATE IN 1994: A devastating ice storm struck Mississippi, Louisiana, and extreme northwest Alabama. Freezing rain began falling over northern Mississippi during the early morning hours and continued until midday on the 10th. Ice accumulated 3 to 6 inches thick on exposed objects in the affected area. Due to the weight of the ice, power lines, trees, and tree limbs were down. Nearly one million people were without power after the storm, some for a month.

In Alabama, seven counties over the northwest part of the state were devastated. Trees blocked roads, which were already impassable because of the ice glaze. Three to five inch rainfall amounts occurred, resulting in a heavy glaze and even causing flooding elsewhere.

 

How is the wind noise with the rack? I've been thinking about getting one for awhile

 

Afternoon Jeff.

Afternoon Brian.

Afternoon Hayden.

Afternoon Mike.

 

Not bad. No issues with it on the black truck. Cheaper than Prinsu and he gives a TW discount.

 

I made it, I’m home 945 miles in one long day.

 

It’s Friday!!!

 

Good morning

 

Good morning.

 

From AlabamaWX
RADAR CHECK: We have a few showers in progress over parts of East and South Alabama early this morning…. generally south of a line from Mobile to Montgomery to Lafayette. Showers will remain possible for the southern part of the state today, but North Alabama will be mostly dry with some sun. Expect highs in the 60s.

THE ALABAMA WEEKEND: Clouds will increase tonight, and we expect a cloudy, colder day tomorrow with occasional rain as an upper trough moves over the state. There is a chance the rain could briefly change to light snow before ending late tomorrow night and early Sunday across parts of North and East Alabama thanks to dynamic cooling from the cold core upper trough/low. For now, we are not expecting major accumulation or impact with surface temperatures above freezing, but keep in mind these systems usually bring a surprise or two, so keep an eye on the forecast for potential changes.

The sky will clear Sunday afternoon… highs will be mostly in the 50s.

NEXT WEEK: Monday will be a sunny, pleasant day with a high in the 60s. Rain moves into the state Tuesday night, and will likely linger into Wednesday as a surface front becomes nearly stationary across the state. A few thunderstorms could be involved, but for now severe storms are not expected during this time frame.

A more dynamic system will impact the state Thursday, and from time to time global models have shown signals that severe storms will be possible with this one. Way too early to be specific, but something to keep an eye on. Then, drier and colder air returns by Friday and the following weekend. See the daily Weather Briefing video for maps, graphics, and more details.



ON THIS DATE IN 1899: One of the most significant cold outbreaks to ever impact the United States occurred early to mid-February. The cold across the middle of the country was so extreme and persistent that ice floes down the Mississippi River into the deep south, emerging into the Gulf of Mexico near New Orleans on February 17th. This has happened only one other time: February 13, 1784.

ON THIS DATE IN 1921: Gardner, Georgia, was devastated by a massive, estimated F4 tornado that caused an entire small town section to disappear. The tornado killed an estimated 31 people and injured 100.

ON THIS DATE IN 1959: St. Louis, Missouri, was hit by a massive F4 tornado that killed 21 and injured 345. Over 2000 buildings were damaged or destroyed, including the St. Louis Arena.

ON THIS DATE IN 1981: A morning tornado at Bay Minette struck the local middle school severely damaging the gymnasium. The tornado hurt 62 people were injured, 44 of whom were students.

 

Good morning Mike.
