Evening PA. Good to have it warm up here!

 

Good morning Keystoners.

 

Good morning Keystoners. Must have been a rough weekend.

 

Good Monday morning PA!

 

Morning folks, welcome back to the work week after a really hectic weekend. No time to sit in front of a computer, for sure with the weather being so warm. But, I never seem to get enough done.

 

good morning everyone. this pa weather is driving me nuts. saturday it was like 62 or 63. this up coming saturday the weather is current supposed to be 5-8 inches of snow and thats when im supposed to go pick up the new camper.

 

Morning Travis. We were just talking about that here - this is nuts.

 

....and of course, the shipping notice on the exhaust for the 2010 shows it'll be here Friday. So, yay me for putting an exhaust on in the snow, since the 98 is immobile now...lol.

 

Morning guys. I saw 69* Saturday when I was out and about according to my truck and just like you, we are looking at temps this coming weekend in the teens and low 20's. Looks like winter is coming back with a vengeance.

 

always seems to be something that happens to screw things up...lol

 

im still waiting on the shipping notice for the jeeps intermediate axle shaft. summit says end of the month.

 

Welcome back to the work week, Gang! Took the flintlock out for a walk & a sit on Saturday to enjoy the weather. Saw a couple doe just outside of my range. Kinda excited for this Saturday.

In other news, the FIL got a new whip, so he's shipping his old Ford Escape down to us. That means we're selling Mama's van. She's not happy about downsizing, but she is happy about gong from a 9-year old vehicle with 186k on it to a 6 y.o. with 75k.

I finally got around to installing the Hill Descent Control Switch in the Super yesterday & activating it w/ForScan.

As for this week, my new field rep in Texas was supposed to land at PIT at 10:40. He called me at 9am to tell me he missed his flight. No open seats on the later flights, so he's on standby & starting his career off on the wrong foot.

 

jason just out of curiosity what benefit does the hill descent control offer?

 

It's mostly just a bell & whistle upgrade that came with the FX4 package. The system uses your ABS/Traction Control systems to maintain a steady speed during slow speed, off-road descents, allowing you to concentrate on steering & maneuvering. All you have to do is order the replacement switch cluster where your traction control switch currently is. It makes the left dummy switch functional. You then activate the feature in your ABS module with ForScan. The part was $20 through Tasca. Not sure if I'll ever use it, but for $20, it was a no-brainer to activate it.

I know the Ford Escape that my FIL is sending our way is a lower to mid trim level. I need to do some research to see what I can activate in it with ForScan.

 

Morning Jason and Neil.

Hoping throwing an exhaust on won't take too awful long - looks like just 2 bolts and some hangers to remove. Just depends how much I have to fight rot and rust, I guess.
