Stop in for a cup of coffee

Hey everyone. Seems like the nouse on my truck is the exhaust. Either a crack up near thr turbo or the v band clamp is shot. Adjust and noise goes away. But it comes back very quickly. Band clamp ordered. Worst case a new exhaust is needed. It is 8 years old anyway.

Side Squirrel, there looks to be great chance for us Mid westerners o get wild weather tomorrow. Large super cells and tornadoes TX through IA, MN, and WI.

Well that was (not) fun. Took about 5 hours to do what should have been 2 tops. Online order split between 2 stores. Got a tensioner pully that wouldn't work. Three trips between getting and returning parts. Kid had no clue how to test the old one. All done now and runs good and quiet with no codes. :thumbsup:

Persistence!!!
 
It just dawned on me that I didn't hear that Falcon 9 head for space at 15:40 PDT, I was watching the Dega. So I look at the VSFB schedule and DOGEE postponed it until 17:51 PDT. Of course, the Marines are coming ashore to make observation unlikely :lol: .

15" SBP steelies are gone. You can find Rallies new... I grabbed 15" Cragar 5 X 4s but those are going to be gone soon as well.

Tough to find certain tire sizes as well.

Save those SBP wheels. The impression I got from a conversation with a fellow at Wheelsmith was "If you got the center you need, we can make the wheel you want."
 
Speaking of wheels, I seen a couple of CL ads in the LA area and Inland Empire that lead me to believe they scored some of the inventory of Wheel Vintiques before they made their move to Kentucky,Tennessee, wherever the heck they moved to. I inquired to one of them about Mopar wheels being a part of their treasures and the response was yes, but no details.
 
Kind of an awesome day. Saw a few nice cars, but saw this in the wild for the first time

This is a first. Guy was working in his yard, but ignored me. Probably thought i wanted to buy it.
