I have been noticeably absent from the forums for many months due to some ongoing personal medical issues and a greatly increased workload at my job. My apologies for lack of participation.
However, it has come time to ask a favor of the brotherhood.
As many of you that have been around for awhile know, my daughter is in her second year at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. Up to this point she has not been allowed to have a car. Well in their third year, cadets are allowed to have vehicles. So in a couple months she will be coming home to retrieve her '91 IDI to take back to school with her.
I've done a lot of work to it and it's in pretty good shape. It runs like a champ. However, since Dad (mechanic) will be 400 miles away, I need someone that she can call on if she has a mechanical emergency or routine servicing that comes due. I don't want her to take it to some shop that has no idea about these trucks or is going to stick it to her with repair costs.
I guess what I'm asking for is someone in the C. Springs area that has the IDI knowledge, tools, and space to help her if the need arises. She will always show up with a case of your favorite beverage and will be responsible for whatever parts may be needed.
Some of you may be thinking cool. A good looking military chick that likes diesel trucks, guns, sports, and outdoors recreation! I hate to say it, but the pappa bear in me has to say don't go there.
I just need piece of mind that she has someone that can help her out if need be. Besides, she's well trained at hand to hand and is actually pretty good at it.
.
So if there is anyone in the Colorado Springs area that can help me out with this, it would be greatly appreciated.
