    For my next truck project, yesterday I went to a local Chevy and picked up an electrical plug. There is a junction box under the dash where hot battery, switched power and retained power is available. With the correct plug, you can plug right into the junction box to get the power needed. No...

    Cadillac train horns

    Since I sold my 99 F-250 and got my 2011 GMC Duramax, I have obviously been spending some time on a few Duramax forums. I though I'd share something interesting I found out about with all my old SDD.com buds. Something I found out on one forum, was about 4 note horns that were used on...

    Still got the "mod" bug!!

    Even though I'm now driving a Duramax, I still feel the need to "modify". Since I took delivery, I've added a Leer cap/topper, Rhino bed liner, Luverne running boards, a factory style remote start, the DIC (dash information center) buttons, some WeatherTech floor mats and an Edge Insight CTS...

    Rusty, leaky oil pan fix!! Interesting!!

    I stumbled across this fix for the dreaded rusted & leaking 7.3 oil pan. It looks very interesting. The sealant/adhesive they are using looks a lot like the stuff we use on the planes at work. Damian Diesel oil pan fix part 1 Damian Diesel oil pan fix part 2

    Visit to see my little buddy.

    Just got back form a couple days visiting our daughter and grandson. It was a dual purpose trip since I got a Leer truck cap installed on my new GMC on the way home. I got to spend some quality time with my grandson. I even read him a story before he went to bed: :D:lmao

    We got our 1st CRJ-700 at work.

    For several months now, we've been told that we would begin working on an additional type of aircraft in addition to the Embraer 135, 140, and 145 we had been working on. A couple of nights ago we got our first CRJ-700. This is me and the crew I'm on. We took the pic to commemorate us...

    This is SOOO FREAKY!!!

    Mrs TG's brother-in-law was the worlds biggest :packers fan. He went all the way to Dallas for the Super Bowl, with no tickets, just so he could watch the game on TV in the parking lot. About 6 months ago, he he passed away unexpectedly in his sleep. His remains were cremated. A couple of...

    Opinions needed

    As I stated in a previous thread, my days with Superduty in the driveway are numbered. Because of the fact I strongly feel the recent Superduties are so unattractive stylewise, I'll be getting something else. For reasons of having a GM employee discount program through work, I am zero-ing...

    Days as a Powerstroke owner are numbered.

    I went to the credit union yesterday to start the ball rolling on refinancing the house and doing a debt consolidation. I was very surprised how much we'll be gaining. Between the house payment, home equity loan and 8.5% student loans for our daughter, we were paying a total about $1600 a...

    What the heck was that?

    About a week ago, we saw an aircraft doing many practice approaches and landings at the former air base, now airport that I work at. This wasn't anything I've seen before. It looked similiar to an E-8 Joint Stars except it did not have the "canoe" looking thing under the fuselage, but...
