Good thinking, everybody need to be told where to go sometimes

My wife tells me all the time.

Yea, My modifications on my truck are worth more than my truck.

Im sure he will answer but yes he has lubes of all sorts. You can bring your own too if you have a special brand you prefer. Trust me when I say, the shop is set up. I love this GTG, can you tell?

Any hard parts such as filter kits, brakes etc sould be purchased ahead of time, therefore utilizing lift times accordingly, depending on how many members show. Fluids such as oil can be purchased at the store for a reasonable price. We use Havoline 5w-30 motor oil as well as 5w-20 and 15w-40 oil for diesels. transmission fluid is a dexron 3 synthetic blend and gear oils include 75-140 synthetic for gear boxes and the conventional 80-90 gear lube. Both coolant types are avail. being dexcool and ethelglycol green coolant.

There is a Checker auto supply store nearby and a pepboys for any last minute purchases needed. I pretty much have all the tools needed for nearly any repair, hand tools, jacks, airtools etc are covered unless you bring your own tools. I have my own tech 2 scanner for SES lights and needed updates if reqd.

This GTG ROCKS!

I still plan on the water pump/flush, front brakes, and alignment. Not sure I'm gonna be able to get the tires before hand, tho.

I think when I look for a house in Oregon, I need one with a shop and a garage. Yeah right!

See you bright and early Sunday morning!

Alright this is the head count that I see so far...pretty good group...

duramaxman-aka Ken-Dont know what hes doin, probably helping out, we probably all need it

JoeSpicoli-aka Joe-water pump, front brakes, alignment

NorthCoAv-aka Matt-knock sensors, Intake man gasket, T-case and diff fluid flush

avalanchuck-aka Chuck-? Not sure what he is doing

Shawnemac-aka Shawn- Stopping by sometime to meet everyone, Im certain he will get the mod bug...he is new

Chadstr-aka-Chad-Torsion keys,pitman/idler support arms, rear lift, tranny flush-filter and valve, oil change, ~~maybe I can get Joe to help or at least give some pointers so I dont dump tranny fluid all over myself like he did last time~~

It wasnt Joe, I forgot.

I wanted to throw something out there...I have a remote start system if anybody would be interested... they really dont take to long for me to install.

That was Darren...the 2500 doesn't have a drain plug. Poor guy. That would have been a good time to install an aftermarket drain plug kit.

The 1500 has a drain plug, so there is no chance of wearing it!
