Kyle,
That's great! Glad you're enjoying your new job. You will surely be missed
here on the DML as you are one of its biggest assets. It's good to know
I'll be protected if I'm ever driving through the Midwest. The best of luck
to you on your job and your new home...and say Hi once in a while when
you're lurking and have an extra second.
PS I still have my stock tie rods and ball joints! Knock on wood (hand
rapping side of head).

Subject: DML: It's Been Fun!
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 :)
