I have no idea where we are staying, i am just going with the flow at this point.


BBA- did you get that clutch in or are you waiting on us to come and hold your hand?

 

Why Brian changes his own oil (slightly long):

Ok so the Jetta just sits too dang low to the ground and I am too lazy to get it in the air to change the oil.. Last oil change I took my Jetta, oil from my "supplier", filter, and sample bottle to Goodyear for a change.. Piece of cake did a good job. (Same place I used for my ball joints, A/C, and alignment for the Dodge... Trust the guys in there pretty well)

Fast forward to yesterday... Haven't seen my oil "supplier" for a while and mileage was about 12k on the oil so I bit the bullet and took the car to Goodyear to leave overnight so that they could change it today at their leisure. I told them probably 3 times to sound like a broken record that I wanted either a 5w30 or 5w40 synthetic diesel rated oil... Told me no big deal they will use a Mobile 1 product... Fine good enough..

Guy calls me today and tells me the car is ready... A bit uneasy still I asked what oil he used.. "Mobile 1 5w30 synthetic", cool diesel rated? "yes"... So I still felt uneasy so I pulled up Mobile 1 site and searched.. only 5w30 I found says not recommended for diesel engines... hmmm only diesel rated oil I found was 5w40... So I printed off both pages and brought them in with me at about 630 today... Asked again if the oil they used was diesel rated again and they said "yes and synthetic".. well I persisted and found out it wasn't diesel rated and I needed the 5w40 diesel rated in there...

They were really cool about it and were a bit embarrassed, even told me they have used that 5w30 on another Jetta... Oops

So I get to drive the truck to work again tomorrow... Bout $30 each day I have to drive it, so bout 60 extra bucks for an oil change cause I was lazy...

Figures......

 

Hey now i will remeber this when ya come down and I say oops I dont know where the tires are! Also I cant seem to find anybody that will mount and boulance these tires here!

Anybody know of a place around dallas open on saturday that can mount and balance 39.5" tires with 20" wheels??

Also NO i dont have the clutch in my "help" all of a sudden decided he was low on money and said I want $200 just to "help" you said I said thanks but no thanks. So doesnt look like im goin to get a clutch in my truck before the dyno

 

$30/day? I'm running bout $40/day in fuel and I have to drive mine everyday. Oh well. Just a couple more weeks and I go to a 6 mile round trip commute.

 

Was $40, but just moved to a closer site...

 

well good atleast i am not the only one that gets bent over every couple days for fuel.... they should atleast keep a jar of vaselyne handy for that R*P*ING

 

Well it depends on how early we get there and how tired we are from driving all dang night. I will only charge ya $150 to help! LOL....

(just messin)


Anyways,

I need the physical address to the dyno day. I have a friend coming that lives in DFW area and he is going to be near there and would like to stop by and check it out.

 

Well I figure a quick...um say 30 min nap will do ya just fine then we can put the clutch in haha! Sound good?
