I thought I remembered reading you had been in a few stop light to light races. Maybe it was someone else. If so, just excuse the screw up. I know there was one of the gen Is here that has written about it.
Well, later man. Have a nice afternoon.

yeah, only the 4 bangers got that 7.25. Im thinking of some new gears for my rear. Cant decide on 4.10s or 4.56s. Im just sick of my ill powered v6 and with some more gearing to back her it it will move a bit better in town. I run highways some too so Im also considering that.
Just yesterday on I 75 going home for a week, I was riding @ 85mph only at 2K to 2050 rpms. I could learn to slow up and go in the 70s if I needed to. I also got 18 MPG !!!!!!! on my last trip on the HW. So that cant stand. I have to drop that someway! hahahahaha. Use to getting 12-13, but the wind was with me or somethin. Well, later guys.
Brent, keep us posted on your project truck...

Yeah I kinda have been a bit lax when it comes to college this past year. I got my AA in 4 semisters straight. Then only needed 2 classes to get into my arch. major at UF. So I decided to take 1 major class and 1 play class each semister for the last year. Screwed around and partied too much. Then a month or so ago, I decided to drop Architecture cuz its a master program and I dont know If I am up for that much more school. Got into Building Const., so another 27 credits of pre requs before upper division program starts. So Summer school is a go for some of those 27 hrs, then another year of full time class. Hopefully this time next year, Ill be in my majors program and only have 2 years left.
You just chillen this summer Tiger? What school are you at? Major? And hows that beaut. conv going? Later...

Well seeing how I am a full time student, and have ***no*** money, I havent been able to have too much fun with my Dakota. I have so many things in mind that I would like to do - both big things and little things, cheap things, and expensive things. I guess I will just have to wait until I'm done with school. I attend Weber State Univ. which is north of Salt Lake City. I am doing a master of business administration. I have one class this summer, and another in the Fall, and I'm done. I guess I should start looking for work. But I dont like to work while I'm in school, but I might have to.

Yeah I know what ya mean. I "should" be finishing college this next year, but due to a major change last semister, from architecture to building construction, I have a few more to go. Arch. would have been 2 more years, now its 3 years to grad. I love the college life and the fun, but the finances suck and being poor sucks. So I know what your doen.

What about you Super Bee?
Talk to yall later.

My truck has been overheating lately. So I borrowed a radiator pressure check tool from a local auto parts stores. I pumped it up to 15 psi and sure enough, some green fluid started coming out of the top of the radiator. The O-ring that seals the top radiator head to the body was busted. But you cant just replace the O-ring. Our radiators are OEM plastic radiators and you have to replace the whole stupid thing!

So I started my journey of finding the lowest price. I was quoted $193, $199, and $205. Guess which one I chose?
None.

I called one more place and found a small parts store that had one in stock for $147! And it is OEM standard quality so I took it without hesitation! Took about 3 hours to install since I had to let my broken radiator cool off before I could do anything to it. Now my truck runs as cool as a cat....

Super Bee, nice looking truck man. Youve done alot to it from the last pict I saw. Looks damn nice. Is that a cowl hood? Trees are behind your dak and I think thats a cowl? If so did you adda cowl, or buy a fiberglass hood? Im looking for one too. Any info would be great. And I like that grafix kit too. Nice. Talk to ya later.
Joe E.
I just got the major part of my newest project done. My buddy, who happens to be a great welder, and I replaced the stock body mounts under the firewall, moved them 7 in back in the cab. Im gonna remove all the metal between the wheel and get enuf to run 33s. Hope it works out like I plan. Talk to ya later.
