    Somewhere on the bottom of the unit should be a drawer other container that collects the water created by cooling air.

    How long depends on how much you run the AC. There's usually a switch that shuts the unit off when the thing fills up.

    My best guess is it has something to do with love or faith.

    If I run 285/75/16's in my V6 automatic, what gears should I be looking at? I keep seeing the best option is to get around 4.10 gears. Do they even make it? I know you can get them in the the 2.7's but would they be a direct swap? Or is there an aftermarket one you can buy. I'm just trying to avoid 4.56 due to the higher RPMs on the highway I keep seeing complained about. Are the arb air lockers something you can add without too much hassle at another time? Or would I want to save up and get the lockers so I can get it all done at the same time?

    I'm looking at doing the same thing too. Easiest would probably be to go the ECGS route where you'd just swap out the 3rd member. I've been going back and forth with Chase over there and for 4.10s in the front and rear, and the ARB locker, it's looking at $2100 shipped. Kind of pricey but easiest option

    With that price you are only getting a rear locker, correct? We both have sports so I'm assuming you'd want both front and rear lockers. If you wouldn't mind PM'ing me the links to exactly what you're looking at whenever you'd get a chance, I'd really appreciate it. Are you going to be doing the swaps yourself?

    Coming home from Truckee, traffic sucked near the light rail. Then 680 had some wide load going down it. Traffic sucked. I have no idea how I do that either.

    Edit: You should be thankful it's not a pumpkin weekend...unless you know your way around, the major routes are clogged and you definitely would want to commit homicide.

    Unless your packed with armor like MJ is.... why regear? Your gas mileage will suffer much worse than your lack of power. I'm running 285/70/17 which is roughly the same size and I can still get 19mpg on the straight and level, however I'm not bogged down with armor like others. MJs truck definitely needs them, that armor definitely slows that truck down...plus he's a manual which has a slightly different gear ratio anyways. I couldn't believe the difference when I drove MJ's!

    Check my build thread...too much to list.
    Wells it's like the time you rode in my truck to pick yours up from the dealer. with the same size tires as you going 65 I'm at just over 2k rpm. I really don't like how short 5th & 6th gear is on the 2nd gens.

    Edit: I think my wife mentioned an accident on HWY 80 that may have involved ejection was the reason it was shutdown.

    idk who. He was rolling with the Fordyce group on Thursday. From what I heard, drive line broke. They were in the field trying to fix it by welding it back together so get back to the road.

    It's kinda expensive. Wine glass + 3 tickets = $20, with additional tickets $3, luckly i was able to get 10 tickets for $10. Think the lady was dumb. But there was plenty of wine to sample, some nice local art. They had beer but you needed a mug to get beer which is stupid. The beer festival in SV is a lot better, packed like a can of sardines but it's like around 60 brewers i think, and the California Beer Festival in Aptos is fun too. We took the bus up, got lit and got a free ride home from friend :cool:
