So........ I guess that means you're having an all around crappy day?

Try this - . It will help you forget your troubles - and you'll probably be feeling even more crappy in the morning.

Not really, I know my ford will get me back home. I'm hoping the transmission "friend" will back me up.
I don't think the suburban heater will be that bad to fix.

Just rode through the fantasy of lights at Callaway Gardens and thats awesome enough to brighten up anyone's day.
Also did the Wax hands with my little girl holding hands together.
That was awesome to.
Just mechanical wise this ain't been one of my better weekends.
It wasn't enough to make me break into the " old crow".....
Now if I wind up on the side of the road on the way home tomorrow,,,,, You might find a grown man crying on the right of way.... cause its pretty much 2 hours of back woods boondocks all the way back home.

Don't feel bad Phillip. We just got back from a perfect four day trip at our favorite campsite. We unloaded and cleaned out the Cat . I had opened the roof vents to let the Cat air out. I forgot them..... til I backed it under the shed Oh well... I wanted to go to Camping world to look around anyway. We very much enjoyed the trip anyway. Dont let it get you down. Everything is repairable OR replaceable . Hope the rest of your trip is good....

Well I made it home. It sounded like a train wreck taking off this morning but it got quiet a few miles down the road and made some more noise closer to home.
It may have the grinder gear flu or something.

Its a ford, it will always get ya back home.

Well what I thought was the tranny was a needle bearing in the front drivers hub. Finally had a chance to take it apart this weekend and the needle bearing was gone , literally. only a couple of needles left hanging around.

So , I think I rebuilt a tranny last year for no reason.
except I was dry heaving..... Dang that hurt. gasman
