I am getting too old for this workin on trucks and cars...sat on the concrete driveway jacked and put the van on jackstands and removed sond replaced both front hub/bearing assemblies, had the front rotors machined with thin cleanup cut to true the them up...reassembled it all and then fixed both rear storage boxes in the cargo area that holds straps, tow hooks with chains and such.....I am beat..lol...I hate paying people to do something I can do, but if this is an indication of whats ahead...looks like i'll be paying a mechanic to do more then he has in the past...soo..in the morning, ill change the oil and filter and go have the ft end lubed. I also need to pickup the parts for the welder to build the swingout carrier for the generator and the LP bottle, and run a gas line from the gas tank to a "quick disconnect' fitting at the back of the van for the generator....Then back in service.....oh and i need to cook a mess of "Chili Mac"!!!!

Waiting on a TOW TRUCK, radiator shot. Pretty sure thatswhats wrong. Update later
Good luck Tom.
Sitting at home still, waiting on the correct heater hose. Wrong one came in on Friday, wrong one came in today. Right one should be here tomorrow. After that, I dunno where I'll go. Guido to the left of me, Dreamer to the right of me. I'm trapped!
Heading to Hoptown afterwhile..
Loading in the morning heading to Hoptown from MI...Dale maybe I will get to meet you down there...
Where's Vegas Chris?
Well, 7 years 713,000 and the old girl went on the hook for the first time. I guess she was due. Original radiator is toast as far as i can tell. Did all the test I could do to rule out other stuff. So I think it just failed on its own. Will know for sure in the morning.
Been a long day, we are goin to bed. Talk to ya all tomorrow.

Uggh. Made it to Dayton...the nice expensive O'Reily's alternator went out again. Just replaced it in Feb. Made to the shop, gonna nap til the parts guy gets here with the new one. Probably about 8:00 or so supposedly.
Dang it, that was a good paying run too.

Chris,
Check with dispatch. We had ALOT of guys heading down to Nogales that loaded over the weekend. Not sure how many already got out.
Ask the new bride where she'd like to visit (I'm assuming a lot but you've been in Vegas a few days now...)
