other dog

It's getting terrible-talked to a guy in Milton,W.V. last and he found 2 guys in a Ford pickup trying to steal an I-beam from where he worked- at lunch time. He said they must have thought everyone had left for lunch, but he was there. They drove across a field and got away, but were caught later.

Jeffrey went to the parts store and brought me a new coil over here this morning, put it on and it runs fine now.

Well congratulations for the kids, grandkids, diploma, dogs, mouser,and most of all Momma for 34 years..

yeah, it's Justin Beaver.

don't matter, we're all here- cain't go anywhere anyway.

OK, so after going through the cadillac converters, multiple personalities, Peterbilt withdrawal, and eating boogers- Jimmy might be on to something. I went out and took a look this morning and the coil pack does have a big old crack in it. Good place to start anyway, too bad i'm helpless in the driveway for the time being.

yer welcome.

OK, thank you.

Hi there other dog, Jimmy the mechanic called me back and said it sounds like a coil pack to him. Only problem is, ya gotta get it to an Advance Auto Parts or somewhere they can put tha' 'puter on it to tell which one is bad- if that's what it is. He said the symptoms described it to a "T" though.

they're not arguing- they are focused. that's how they focus.

Anybody know anything about catalytic converters? My Ford Ranger pickup sputtered a couple of times coming up the hill on the way back from Altavista today, then ran ok the rest of the way home. Jo went to start it a while ago and it started but was missing badly and would barely run. I started it and it would run when you gave it some gas but it cut off as soon as you let off it. I took the big hose off the intake and sprayed both sides of the throttle thingamabob with carburetor cleaner and drove it down the road, but it was still missing and running rough. I don't know what else to check, i'm thinking oxygen sensor?..catalytic converter? Can't tell anything anymore without plugging a computer into it. The check engine light is not on like it would be in a Peterbilt- maybe the bulb is burned out, I don't know. Anybody have any suggestions? If not, I guess i'll have to call a rollback to take it to a garage Monday morning. I can't even get to work tomorrow, might have to wait until Monday...should have bought that F-150 from my brother for $2500.

I've never played golf and haven't been fishing in years... the others- well, never mind.

I know what you mean Larry.

hey, we can dream can't we?

Oh...thought you meant she was about to roll off the bed or something and you secured her with the gorilla tape. The title is misleading.

naw, i'm serious this time- g'bye!

I couldn't care less either, nor am I at all offended by the previous post.

Ran into a situation like that on rt. 10 some years ago. Had a load going to Mullens, W.V. and I ran rt. 10 out of Princeton. Blind curves and no way to keep everything on your side of the road. When I got to Mullens they told me where I delivered "nobody goes that way, you should have went to Beckley and came back down rt.16". NOW you tell me!

nice avatar!

Amen brother! (bulldogman)

yeah! but what about anti-Peterbilt posts?..oh, that's right, unfortunately I no longer get to drive a Pete...never mind. I am still a proud Mack owner though!
