    I just want to send an appology to those who have tried getting ahold of me or messaging me the past few weeks as we have been out of town a lot and work has been overwhelmingly busy this year which has lately taken a great deal of time out of my time I can get online. My wife Jen really helps out with this but she left this past thursday to visit her grandmother out of town for likely a few weeks as she was in the hospital and needs someone to be with here full time for a while. Since she isnt here to help me out with emails and messages I have been really behind and have been glued out in the garage normally until well past 1 in the morning trying to catch up with everything, then try to get to emails. Again sorry if I havent been on the boards much lately to help out and if anyone needs anything asap try giving me a call because I havent been able to get to the computer much. BTW.. I hope everyone and their families had a great easter this past weekend!

    Dave

    i hear ya bruther, i hardley get online much and if i do its while i'm falling asleep in my comfy desk chair

    any idea on why our 90 440T4 into 88 ciera swap lost 3rd and 4th?
    we had em both in the first couple days then AL got a few hard as hell downshifts and now 3rd and 4th went to heaven lol
    i think when we wedged the 2inch longer (125c outter & shaft, 440t4 plunge) Pside axle in we did some damage to the thrust washers (inside plunge joint bottoming out on left turns) we only drove with it for ~1 mile before it got parked and we ordered an 88 ciera 2.8L/440T4 axle...
    i know that the 440 has gear output switches but it should function fine hydrostaticly with just the TCC, TV cable and modulator hooked up...

    if this things junk i think i'm gonna send ya the custom 125c mech VSS to 440T4 adaptor i made...youd probably have more of a chance to use it than i would lol

    whoda thunk we redneck'd/cheaped out to save a car and we lost it... sigh

    Do what you gotta do Dave. The freebe advice you give, although very thorough and helpful, doesn't pay the bills. Paying jobs and family first.

    Glad business is jumping for you, but sorry you don't have time to enjoy it as much as you would like. I'm sure everyone here will be patient with one of the harder working and dedicated resources us GPers have. Try to snag a little sleep when you can with the coming of the next lil one. Best wishes from Jess, Devyn, and I. 5 hours away, but let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

    I'M HOME!!!!!!!!!! Now who missed me??? LOL I know Dave did. I was at my Grandmas for 2 weeks and she got worse when she got home from the hospital and had to take her to the ER last Saturday and they put her back in the Hospital and they released her but the discharge nurse said that she wasnt able to go home by herself and we had to put her in the nursing home . My Dad and my Aunt were planning on putting her in one this coming week but when she got worse they had to put her in one this week, I'm glad that my Dad and Aunt didnt have to tell her that they were going to put her there. She is going to be there for 3 months and hopefully be able to come home then.

    Yep that was me, busted! I drive a FORD truck now..... flame suit ready..... lol. I needed a truck and this one was a good buy and convenient for me, and oddly enough after the first 10 minutes of driving it I was sold on it as it drives really well and has been taken good care of mechanically its life. I have needed a work truck for a long time and glad I had the option to get ahold of this one.

    Thank you Brian, I just found out that my Grandma is back in the hospital, this morning when the nurses went in to wake her up for her medicine my Grandmas left arm was hanging over the side of the bed and it was numb and they sent her to the ER and they admitted her and ran a bunch of tests and the think she might have had a mild stroke. I talked to her a couple of hours ago and she said that she can lift her arm up but cant keep it up it just falls back down. She might be there for a couple of days and back to the nursing home. She also thinks shes going home in a couple of days or a couple of weeks she keeps changing her story but shes really not going home until July if she gets stronger but I really dont think she will be able to.
