Dammit George.......Never mind pinning down Murphy. What'd ya do, tell him it was more fun to come down and play with me for a couple days.
Very first thing I did today after posting my last message was break the #%$# transmission dipstick
. Ordered a new one from Ferd, be in tomorrow....another $45
, damn, I can get 3 of your U-joints fer that.
Rest of day is going OK so far. Tranny slid in and lined up way too easy, 1st shot, easiest one I ever done so it makes me wonder what's next

Murphy strikes twice.......
If I catch him I'm gonna kill him.
Sumbeach broke my crapsman RV 22" lift floor jack, spent the last hour getting the truck back on the ground
Glad I use jack stands and wear glasses
...She wouldn't raise high enough to pick the truck off the stands anymore so I figure it was low on oil and topped it off, that didn't work so I picked off one wheel at a time from the stands and on the last wheel she gave out on the way down,
wham.... last tire's on the ground!!!, and blew the oil fill plug out past my head and shot hydraulic oil all in my face, tastes great
....got to hear the rubber plug richochet off the tin roof about 5 times till it went somewhere into never never land. Hope I can squeeze the tranny dipstick in tomorrow without jacking it up.
