Well I am about 2 1/2 months into my new job.......a police officer. All I
can say is that I simply love it. Finally I am using my degree(Criminal
Justice) and finally I have a career. I havent been really active at all on
the DML, just cause I am currently driving 45 minutes to an hour one way to
work........6 days a week. I have also been dealing with building my first
home, which should be done around Sept. 1. To make things even more hectic I
am starting the police academy in a week. Basically, right now, I dont have
spare time for the DML, so this will be my last week. Once I move into my
new home, I will try to re-subscribe and just lurk around the list. In the
meantime, if anyone needs to email me, go ahead. GrnDak4x4@Home.Com
I will soon have an email addy through the PD that everyone can also email
me at.
This list is exceptionally helpful and informative. Currently, I have no
plans to keep modifying my truck, just maintaining it really. I took off the
FMS #19 injectors, the entire MSD Ignition, and my homebrew cold air intake.
The truck really runs solid now, without any glitches. So I am back to
basics(even running the ole round stock air filter housing with a cheap ole
$3 air filter!) and hopefully will be able to upkeep the Dak enough so she
can see 200,000 miles. The truck runs great now, doesnt burn any oil, and
gets 275+ miles per tank.......depending on how I drive it.
Just please everyone slow down, drive safe, buckle up, and drive
responsibly. I have seen some pretty eye opening stuff in the short 3 months
I have been on. Take care! Dak Content: I hit 145,000 miles tonight on my
way home. The miles on the truck will greatly be slowing down, since I am
getting a take home squad car this week. I do plan on parking it in my
garage for a good two months or so this fall/winter and will be detailing
the inside and putting on a few coats of wax. I have only washed it two
times this year!.......and only waxed it once since last summer. I am also
going to be putting new inner/outer tie rods and upper/lower ball joints
on...........cause the front end it pretty sloppy right now. Just basically
parking it and doing some TLC and other stuff I have been severely
neglecting the last year. Not bad though still having stock tie rods/ball
joints. You GenIII guys cant say that :)
