Xmas for us. We pretty much always get one. It was lean at Xmas last year, but the boss dipped into the credit line I think for ours. About 1/2 the prior year bonus. This year better be a nice bonus. I pretty much did a complete design for one project.

Bonus's don't come out until Februarish, so, hopefully it's more than just enough to buy a happy meal[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

I used to get big bonuses and comps with the old job but they took all that away.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] Now they sit around wondering why all the 'ol timers [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] get pissed off all the time and bitch about how it "used to be". Now they hire just younger, inexperenced reps at a much lower pay scale. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][/quote]
That's corporate America[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] in my case, corporate Canada[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

It would be hard to find out for sure without doing a oil Analysis before an after to see what is getting into the system. Just check micron ratings on any filters that you use to see just how small of a particle it will stop from passing through. If it was a long haul truck or piece of equipment that is run a long time, items like that are a big plus to the ROI.

It's a bummer that you have to take it in for repairs again but as least it sounds like he's stepping up and making it right with you. If he pulled the axles he should have sold you thoses in advance just to do it right and cover his tail to help prevent a come back.

Talked to him today and he told me my 3rd inner seals looked bad. His explanation was he got in a bind the day he worked on my PSD and failed to call me to let me know they needed replacing[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] He told me he'd take care of me, however, it still pi$$es me off. We'll see how well he takes care of me come Monday[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] and that gear oil stuff real stains concrete[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] AArrggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Met a guy who is Madera County SO (Ag Crimes) last ride at Miami (he's a friend's best friend) his cousin was one of the Fresno PD officers who got ambushed a couple weeks back. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Both are expected to make full recoveries. His cousin was hit like 4 times. Once in back, vest stopped it. The guy tapped himself before SWAT go there to do it. Last guy who shot a FPD officer got shot a week or two later. Hopefully they put that entire family in jail for hiding him.[/quote]
I didn't hear about that[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Just heard a Sacramento Officer was shot and killed[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Sad!!!

I saw one 450 going down the road that the bed was was flapping around (aft of the rear fenders.) If you're gonna put a bed on, do it right. He was set up to haul a gooseneck.

I read elsewhere that the stock Donaldson filter is the way to go which is cool. People said in other forums that Ford got that design right which means more $$$ in my pocket.
Thanks for all the info, and RD....someone's bein a post ho!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
