[beaglebriar]

Went out to stoke the shop stove and found two inches of fresh snow with more coming down.
ready for spring

Good morning men. Cooler this morning, 40's today. Rained overnight. Thanks Dallas. Coffee time.

I am an officially licensed DALLCO Inc. franchise owner

My franchise agreement allows me, among other things, to disparage all models of Hooski, Ferd, Dooge, etc, to make slacker comments, boat anchor jokes, and to toss out the occasional GFY

Sadly when I bought my franchise I couldn't afford the full package so I am not allowed to dispense sack kicks without prior written authorization of the chairman of DALLCO Inc.

I do get royalties on all the sandpaper dent pullers sold through the Amazon affiliate program and I get a good employee discount on sandpaper gloves through the company store

Could be worse...

More than likely you qualify for a good discount @ Bojangles also.

16.
6 speed.
5 and 6 speed look identical.
10 speed is actually a Hydramatic with the Allison name. Looks totally different.

I'm resealing the flywheel housing.
It's not much fun.

Work truck I used to drive had a 8.1/Allison combo. For some reason it loved to chew through flywheels. Some would crack, but most would wear the teeth down on the ring gear in a single section. Starter teeth harder than the ring. Our use is a little different though since the start/stop cycle on those would sometimes hit almost 200 times a day. Average day for me was about 130 cycles. I got so used to the sound I would let the mechanic know about a month before it went out. Had a piece of wood in the truck so when it went I could spin the motor with crank pulley and get moving again. The way it was sounding, I'm thinking it will go down sometime in March again.

I had an 02 GMC with the 8.1.
If it's eating or cracking flywheels it could also be an alignment issue.
Could just be the number of start cycles but I'd be looking at the dowel pins and block/bellhousing while it was apart.

3 motors and two transmissions. Same issue, so I would wonder on start cycles.

Mine had a chain steering wheel like all the magazines suggested. I might have had the rakers at the wrong height tho, coz it cut my hand a lot.

Mebbe ya had the Chain on BAAKERTZ.

Grafton?

If you’re in to sandpaper glove dent pullers and banjo music sure. I’ll stay where I am as I don’t have a vag between my legs like the constantly whining chimp in Tennessee

But the internet keeps saying ford is the best

I know they make the mechanic a lot of money but the ones I see saying are lucky they make it to the *s-wordtter before messing their depends

You are giving him way too much credit to get it past the window pane

Currently 9 here, with a 15-25 mph wind… But my heater works. Real good in fact.
