Bahahahahhahahahahhahaha

I still remember when some ask me to look at their Vanagon wagon brake
system. While jaw jacking with the friend I forgot to tighten (torque) down
the right side of the bus vehicle.

I told him to test drive it first around the block when the wheel decided to
do the SAG.

Ed, I know how you feel. We have our moments. HEHEHEHEHEHHEHE

Subject: DML: 4.7 HO Intake, First Drive.........

Nice day to work on it, cool, raining, and tunes cranking on the radio. When
I finished some 2.5 hours later, it was time for the test drive. I couldn't
really jump on it too hard due to the rain, but my first impression is that
I
lost a "little" bottom end, but when it hits about 3000, oh man, watch out,
it starts to pull like crazy, when I manually shifted at 5500, it was
pulling
real hard, I'm pretty happy!! I had a little suprise when I took the intake
off, I found some lost tools and bolts inside the block, and a TON of mud,
sand, dirt, etc. My guess it happened in Hungry Valley when I dunked the
truck in a mud hole, over a year ago!!!!!! Just to make the motor happy, I
managed to let it swallow my 8mm wrench :(
