    GM's 10Sp Tranny Debacle

    Any of you fellow OTT folks had the dreaded valve body/solenoid failure on your 10 speed transmissions?

    Changing Tires on Tandem Trailer

    Bafoon......Me that is!

    Well a long time ago my dad taught me to own up to my mistakes. I have even gone as far as poking fun at myself when I pull a really good one. This is one of those cases where I am owning this one and feeling that I deserve a trophy for the most thorough destruction of an iPhone. (Heck sorry...

    Not What I Expected

    Went down to the barn to grab the tractor and haul some supplies down to the back field. Hopped on the tractor and turned the key, once the glow plug light went out I cranked the engine and heard all kinds of noise and slapping around that was clearly not normal (and I am hard of hearing).
