Got it no big deal, I'll likely have it posted up next week so let your friend know.

Steve, my work situation has changed here recently, and my truck may be for sale. It's a 97 Dodge Dakota 4x4 V8 with high miles, but in very good running condition with a new transmission. Although clearly not a Chevy/GMC I plan on getting it all cleaned up early next week if you're interested.

That truck is EXACTLY what I'm looking for, I just won't be ready to buy for another couple months

If you read the stipulations on the algae problem, you'll see that it doesn't actually prohibit swimming. It suggests not swallowing it, but what lake water would you ever swallow. I've swam in it multiple weekends this year, and the swimming areas have been packed all summer.

What broke? Or did you just run out of gas like a baddy mcbadderson?

I've read this one, and continue to read it on the shitter. It's pretty solid. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1579122213/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=0684831015&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0TN5C31JRGVW3YF45NZ6

Welcome, I'm also from Pickerington. When did you graduate from there?

Aside from my joking about the hole in the motor pic, the car does look very clean and well done. Welcome to CR

I'm generally very very bothered by cops, and I do not mean police I've seen on youtube. I'm a guy who's truly never done anything wrong, and that's my general feeling towards the police. There is something wrong with that.

What is the hole on the timing side of the motor? I'm referring to the one that looks like it was professionally cut out with very clean edges.

Sup phagz http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x33/spankis/Stealth%202009/DSC_0210PP.jpg Been rockin it since 2007, ahead of the curve. I call it "relatively clean", feel free to use it.

Welcome, decent intro for sure. Feel free to summarize mod info here, I know I'm at least personally interested in the ecotec motors.

I would like to know the whole story as well; all I know is that Rob is working together with another shop now.

We talking about Rob's slewbag Dana? I'm going to go ahead and assume so.... I continue to find more and more reasons to dislike Rob the more time I spend under/in/driving/working on my car...

One of the comments says broken front drivetrain, so that was a RWD-only run?

Slightly related, you guys had Valvoline Premium Blue 15-40 on sale a while back for $9.99/gallon. Please post up if that deal is ever available again, because I'll likely buy 20 gallons or so if I can get it.

Sold. Lock it up, thanks.

Looks good, but I'd say it needs some tinted headlights or black housings or something. Front end looks too smiley/happy.

I took all my Chemistry series there and while the atmosphere and clientele were almost always a bother, the O-Chem professor was very good, better in many ways than a lot of my OSU professors. For gen chem however, which I also took some of at CSCC, I had some very very bad instructors. They were all guys with other day jobs, who just showed up and "taught" for some extra cash. Those guys were effectively useless, and honestly made learning more difficult than had I been teaching myself with the book as a result of the way they ran things. So all in all, I can say it depends on what you're taking and who is teaching. But yes, prison tattoos. Very much.

Going Saturday late morning, hopefully Phil will yell at me while taking pictures again. If I'm lucky he'll call me gay.

Got in yesterday as well, played w/ the hangout thing, and it seems a little slow. Neat idea though, clearly it's still in trial form.

Bump. Willing to meet somebody around the outerbelt.

I have for sale a Class IV trailer hitch setup, that has until recently been used by my parents. I believe Valley is the brand, and it fits a 2" receiver, has a 2 5/16" ball, and is rated for up to 12,000 lbs. It includes the spring bars or "load leveling bars" and their mounts, as well as all the sway control mounting components. The only accessory it does not include is the friction anti-sway bar itself, which my parents are still using with their new trailer. They can be purchased separately for $40-$50. This setup is capable of using a single or double anti-sway bar setup, and I can tell you that they really really help stabilize the trailer when towing, especially with a 1/2 ton pickup or smaller SUV. Effectively all the hardware is included, but the few components that actually mount to the tongue of your trailer could probably be replaced with new for peace of mind. I believe this is the hitch as sold new: http://www.southwestwheel.com/store/p-3515-va70230wdb.aspx And this an example of the anti-sway bar available separately if you tow with a smaller vehicle: http://www.amazon.com/Valley-75190-Sway-Control-Adapter/dp/B000CQ02B4/ref=pd_bxgy_auto_text_b I've personally towed a 30' 9500 lb trailer all over the country with this setup, and I can answer about any question you may have about it, including how it works etc. for anyone not familiar with towing. $125 I'm in Pickerington. http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x33/spankis/Stuff%20For%20Sale/IMG_0661.jpg http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x33/spankis/Stuff%20For%20Sale/IMG_0658.jpg http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x33/spankis/Stuff%20For%20Sale/IMG_0656.jpg This is a picture of what it basically looks like when all hooked up, I didn't have the trailer at home to take an actual picture: http://rvadenver.com/distri85.jpg Thanks

Uncle sounds mildly interested, but he's uneasy about the age. Does it have an hourmeter?
