    May Day What’s going on banter

    If I'm up why is nobody else up? Problems with the self service portal sending a certificate of insurance for today's run. I must have been nuts to think I'd be unaffected by Covid-19. Seems like enough people are using the internet portal to crash it (office is closed so I guess that makes...

    Where's grizzly? I'm making $5 a mile Canadian this week :p (empty miles included) With my backup van. I had to stop at reinstalling the front pinion bearing, won't press on Edit: I should add that it's 300 miles and a ton of waiting time

    Well, I can keep telling myself it's not really that cold. Bonus, I don't have to freeze the races for easier install I really would have liked new bearings to arrive since I paid for next day delivery. 2 days ago. (Or the bearing driver kit. Chiseling races sucks. I left the rearend in the...

    First impressions: obvious wear pattern on ring gear near the edge, but no broken teeth. I'll check the lash 360 degrees cause I don't wanna buy a ring and pinion if I can avoid it Gear oil is dirty and discolored, slightly milky. I can only guess the movement allowed the pinion seal to wear...

    Box one came. No parts just a few tools. Ever try to find a low mileage 2005 differential :( Since I'm doing the whole rearend, might as well pick up a transmission to rebuild. I have 450k miles on mine, and I got it low on fluid and it was black (in 2016) Definitely feels like I'm retired...

    Hard to roll when you are waiting for "non-essential" parts to do your essential job They've managed to figure out how to verify a credit card after 7 days. Congrats to them, a human really outdoes that computer Over $500 gets manually verified. I don't even want to hear it. I have 0...
