Doh!
If you take it to a dealer, let me know and I'll give you the name of our service manager. They are in Reedley though. They take care of people. Clovis is a PITA to deal with now after they got bought out.

MD, that list is hilarious. I'm guilty of the ones they talk about where i try to get the exhaust lined up beside some idiot that needs a good whiff of diesel in his open window.
replaced all the brakes on my 450 today (man, were they worn out, like almost metal to metal all round). I think the rear rotor needs repalcing cuz it barely stops with rear foot brake.

no, they never said how much they bumped up the revs. that's a bitr scary, cuz i don't think my youngest always fully appreciates the finer details of when to shift (up or down).
well, ya, they snuggle, but it's usually after a feast of whale blubber and baby seal. ooops.... the enviro crew.

I need to work on my middle daughter's shifting[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] She hits all 5 gears in 50 feet[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Don't know if it's worth it though[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img] She seems to ride good[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] without my help[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] And descending hills, she does use the right gears[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Now enviro crews in here[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Unless they like reading our non-intellectual[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] verbage[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

OK, just got back from Sac...I swear every time I drive through Modesto it's raining! Came through Thursday....RAIN. Today...rain. Wasn't bad, but it was still raining. Cleared up about Merced and was sunny south of Madera.
You know you're a net addict when the second thing you do after getting home from being out of town is jump on the computer.
Remind me, if I ever talk positively about the Bay Area (never happens anyways) to shoot me. It took us 3 hrs to get to SF from Sac yesterday. An hour of that was at about 15 MPH trying to hit the Bay Bridge. And we were in the car pool lanes when we could be. That should be a 2 hr trip. 5 hr trip to be there for 4 hrs. Had lunch at Bubba Gumps...ehh...it was OK, nothing Earth shattering about it.

So far this year, we have had almost 16 inches or rain[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] average just over 11 inches. Suppose to get thunderstorms today[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] And they way it loks outside, is that will happen[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Looks like a mid-west storm brewing[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
That's a lot of driving for a non-earth shattering lunch[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

The coffee shop one is me too[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] However, I don't get to go google eyes over the workers[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] But, I visit them enough[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] They definately know what I want[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

at least I didn't have to drive though! The low fuel light went off around Dixon. (on the 80 coming back). And they kept going. Asked if anyone needed to hit the bathroom...I told them no, but your car is thirsty. I have this thing...no highway if I have under 1/4 tank. I've run out before on the freeway in town...it sucked. And I couldn't see but someone else said the CEL was on and another one next to it. Felt like it was running w/o OD on. '93 Ford Focus. And the thing wouldn't make the 1-2 shift.
