that's long gone.....this is for March's "You may need to drill out the water pump hole with a .406 bit if you have a newer style water pump" note....I do, I did, and you do because I found it and used it.

now it's time to patiently wait for: http://www.fedex.com/Tracking?ascend...43043270238921so I can finish install!!

Oh; BTW...JEGS customer service is OUTSTANDING!

jb4short · 08-20-2008, 04:12 PM

first the photos: the office got torn apart for renovating and everything (Desks, PCs, etc. were actually out in the warehouse for a while. Then we started moving back in and I need new signs made for the building.........SO the quick way to get the files to the sign shop was on the SD Memory card out of the camera (thumb drives, cd burners, etc. are too well thought out to be "The quick way"). Now I have the memory card back (along with some pretty nice signs) and the LCD screen on my 17" widescreen XPS laptop seems to be DEAD which is the only PC I have with a SD memory card reader (can't find the USB cable for the camera). So; as soon as I get things together there will be more pictures.

second: wait for the photos

instead of a business man you should run for a political office. You just used 400 words to say what takes most people 4!

guess i'll have to go here to see pics of your truck!
