Thanks man! We're all good now. He's in a hard splint for a week, than a cast for 2 weeks. He's in good spirits, he never stopped talking and joking around with me the whole time, so you know he's OK!

When I quit my last job I left behind my vortec engine covers, my ECM and Tranny Computer Plus my belts and one other A/C compressor...( I was to pisseed to even go back )

So I have to gather up all my fuel parts, adapter plates and whatever else I forgot ahahah


Good luck with the boys arm, they heal like super glue at that age ( im only 25, I heal like gorilla snot, but not TOO bad ahahahaahh )




So off the line from a dead stop, will it burn em off ?? Just stabbing the gas ?

I know the new trucks are SOFT until about 20mph then they wake up.. all the torque management I guess.



Bob
Good luck gathering up all your parts! The classified areas of ls1tech.com, ls1truck.com, and performancetrucks.net usually have some good deals.

Yeah, if I am stopped, and pin it, it will light up the one wheel! I had Jesse remove about 75% of the torque management.

We were always told we couldn't cry! Seriously! My daughter freaks when she gets a tiny scratch, but for my son it's like "eh, another battle wound"!

No problem! That happens to me too sometimes. I've gone almost a month before I got an email notification.



I'm going to run the truck into the shop here after work and see what's up with that tranny cooler fitting. I'd like to get it fixed before I head back home tonight.

I just switched tanks on the way back to the office. 252 miles, and about 1/8 tank left. Probably around 19-20 mpg or so. I have had my foot in it A LOT since Saturday, and about 120 miles round trip on the interstate for the board meet yesterday.

Looking back at my notebook when I first got the truck and was tracking mileage, I was averaging 140 miles to a tank. Actually, about 3/4 of a tank, since I was filling it with 1/4 of a tank left because the truck would die on sudden stops since there was no "bowl" around the fuel pumps.
