    too fuckin bad I’m already here didn’t see you at the gate
    Let me know when you need a state inspection so I can fail it

    as the Metallica song wherever I may Roam said,
    Where I lay my head is home

    I’ll let you know from the shop when people decide to fix their own shit with something more than a hammer for the first time
    Maybe then I will switch from non essential mechanic to something truly contributing to society, like working at Facebook to implement doubling of spam ads and MetaVerse toasting bread, maybe half shift it from a downtown skyscraper

    def interesting seeing NC appears more restrictive than the American freedom I am used to, while calling itself The South

    hopefully it fixes that, and earns that title

    maybe I can trade myself with the shitbox I just saw crooked parking with a blue sticker on the window, and tell them to leave
    To some sort of island or something

    Make sure to check out Charleston when it rains pretty good and around rush hour. Then you will know what parts always flood and which roads are always jammed with traffic. lol, but seriously.

    If your are looking at Charlotte area.....just do like everyone else. Move to Fort Mill or Indian Land SC so you can live in SC and work in NC. You benefit from cheaper gas, supposedly cheaper taxes, WAY better school system(if you got kiddos) and a bit quieter/safer neighborhoods to live in. But if you will have to commute to Charlotte "city" area, it will take you an hour to go 15 miles during rush hours but any other times maybe 20-25 minutes.

    Oh come on you're just being modest, SC is the place to be. Sweet oceans, Upstate, low country, bridges, culture, variety, etc. something for everyone

    Any of you peeps take your truck to ECGS to have your truck re geared? Got my appointment lined up in a few weeks. Stock gears are struggling with the 20 ft bay boat. Wonder if it’s going to take me 8 hours to get home thanks to their break in suggestions. :burnrubber:

    Build thread in sig... 4-link long travel
    Toured the place in 2016 when moving to Durham was on the table for a job, but they didn't do anything to my truck. Really impressive facility and operation though.

    I'm sure they'll brief you on when to change the oil after break in, but when that time comes, highly recommend redline heavy shockproof oil. Inflation the last few years hasn't done the price per quart any favors, but it's a really amazing product.

    Also a tune would be greatly beneficial for towing. Get with @jayandersen5 on that.

    I did it 3 years ago. Just varied my speed on the highway back and took a break like every hour or whatever ECGS recommended. It's a big investment so don't be in a hurry to get home.
