Hey LJ...get the paddles off yet?
Yeah. I took a BFH too em. The holes are a bit fuggered but theyll be ok.

What happened? Did the lugs taper into the Al wheels?

Yes, and some of the AI wrapped itself around the studs...

PSD question:

My overdrive button was flashing a couple days ago. I don't have a tranny temp gauge, and I read somewhere that it was an indication of an overheated tranny. It happened a couple years ago, when I was hauling my 5th wheel. However, I was empty on the last experience.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

Any advice?

Yup. That's the tranny temp idiot light. It's the "BTW, you're tranny fluid is toast. Stop, let her cool down and go to the nearest garage for a flush" light.

My '04 F-150 actually says TRANS TEMP in the LCD display (Odometer/Trip, DOOR AJAR & FUEL CAP warning).

Yeah, I'm going to take it in right now for a flush.

BTW, what's up with the forum? Technical difficulties?

Man, this Pismo trip rated as the second worst[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Didn't really do anything I wanted to do[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Like ride[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Skinner, LJ, Karyn and Suzy were kind enough to stop by an visit for a short period of time[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] We took friends with us. On their second ride, Friend Rick tried to go down the back side of a dune sideways[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Well, he ended up flipping the wifes 400 pound Polaris[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] Turned out, the handle bars hit him in the "groin" and ruptured his urethra [sp] then, he landed on his right shoulder, snapping it in two places[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] After a trip to the local hospital[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] they dismissed him a few hours later[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Luckily, they didn't need to do surgery. They contemplated it for a couple of hours[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]Fortunately, the urologist was good enough to put a catheter in[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Got off the beach at high tide[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

Wish to thank Karyn for her offer of help[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
