well some progress is better than none, or even backwards.

I had a new chapter in the never ending area... 3 years without car payments ended today. The durango just was no longer big enough with 3 kids and all the gear that goes with them.

We now have a suburban, its what the wife wanted. I tried the tahoe but she wanted more luggage room so she has it now. Its pretty nice minus the car payment. lol

if Dodge made anything bigger that would be there instead.

I told her flat out it was a selfish move on my part... if she has a new vehicle that she likes and wants

1) maybe she will take better care of it and stop letting the kids trash it
2) she is less likely to try and borrow my ramcharger when its finished


she laughed, but I don't think she knows how true both were.. I rather her beat that up than my baby.

Well the oil leaks fixed, the tranny leaks fixed, the stalling issues fixed, fixed a few other cosmetic things, now to see how long it goes before I'm fixing stuff again. Hopefully it will be awhile me and my wallet need a break.

they were poorly attached, just some cheap clamps that did not work great.... but it was a lot of fun that day  :steeringwheel:

The next time we go it will be even better... I will have a trail rig that I don't care if it breaks  :evil6:  Granted I have a lot of work I need to do to it, and need to find me a winch.

Well I thought I'd be able to make it a while without fixing stuff but today the truck lost 2nd gear. Haven't looked into it yet.

i think that must have mainly been from the 2 months that it sat when i first bought the ramcharger. now if you thought that was bad i should have taken pics of the 650 double pumper i am working on to replace the current carb. there was way more crap in the rear float bowl than that.

My Jeep seemed to be in that mode for a while. It started with a master/slave clutch cylinders going south and a replacement. Then a throwout bearing taking a dump causing a whole clutch kit to get installed. Still got a squeel on startup that I'm not certain of...... maybe a water pump, (got a new one from NAPA just in case) or it's the alternator. Could even be the idlers or power steering pump, fortunately I changed the idler and it made no difference, so I now have a spare as it were, the old one. Once I get the squeel corrected, it's on to the sound system. I need new speakers front and in the roll bar sound bar. Beyond that, I think I'm sound for a while.

Its always something. We love our older vehicles (Dodges). But they will try our patience at times. Still working on the Chevy oof road truck, and the Samari is ready to wheel. Now to start on the 89 Dodge short bed stuck in the weeds. Guess that's going to be my summer/winter project. :icon_salut:
