Shopping for tow rig

I guess mankind can only help prevent gender mistakes to a certain degree.

I was yelling about not letting women ever drive. A lot of the guys at work have diesels, they promptly texted their wives to tell them, so they wouldn't feel so bad about their past mistakes, and to further prove to their significant others that women should not be allowed to drive trucks. LOL.

oh boy...... is it me, or did this thread just heat up to incendiary levels?

On a side note, I hate golf with all my heart and soul. Our team shot 4 over, Captain's Choice. Golf is the biggest waste of time, it teaches you no useful skills in any way shape or form. At least rock crawling will help us in the zombie revolution. I have this argument weekly at work with the other guys in the office.

Hey, it can also help during zombie revolution, you can launch projectiles at oncoming zombies from a distance I actually like golf, but only if I'm playing with friends. Watching golf is about as boring as watching soccer. I played soccer in school but refuse to watch it. I think golf is nice to have a relaxing day, have a few drinks with your friends and get "away" sometimes. And on the lady driver's thing, how about we say MOST of them, not all. The percentage is high enough to say all but there are some that aren't bad. Like Liz Miles:

How about that new duramax at over 700ft/lbs!

Well, the gooseneck is on hold, just got a call from the Ford dealership,turns out the whine that starts at 50 mph is from the rear differential. They said it needs an overhaul! They told me 1800 bucks, I said, not a chance. 850 for the parts, thats the bearings, seals, and the Limited slip clutch packs. I got on the FTE forum (been a member of that since 05), looks like it isn't uncommon for the diff bearing to go bad at 80-90k miles. I took it to another shop, 1100 out the door parts and all. I am ok with that, but that was trailer money, so I have to wait to get the trailer, hopefully in mid to late October.


*sigh, just got a call from the shop, the gears are damaged, replacing those makes the total around 1900. To go with a Jasper rear end, it was gonna be 3100, but I don't drive it enough to make it worth spending that much more. *

Most likely won't be till after Uwharrie, pending any damage to either of the Zus. We try to keep a little cash set aside for auto emergencies...enter rear diff job. Court offered to pay for part of the repair, very nice of her, I buy her a trail truck, spend 3 or 4k on parts for it, and she spots me some cash for fixing the tow rig What a loving wife.
