HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

We, hope everyone is having a Great Day!

I am thankful, but the F350 decided to puke on the way to Montana! The turbocharger seems to be having some issues........truck check engine soon light popped on just a couple of miles out of Spokane, Wa on I-90. Pulled over and popped hood....lots and lots of oil everywhere:( So got it towed to local Ford dealer and awaiting there arrival tomorrow am for diagnosis!

It appears the turbo either blew some seals or one of the oil lines caused the mess???????

But thanks to the tow driver we are at the Holiday Inn (we haven't seen any other guests), and just celebrated with a lovely Thanksgiving dinner at Marie Callender's eatery!!!!! Hunting plans are on hold too We may just let them grow bigger for next year. LOL

We will see what is going on in the morning???? Hope everyone is making the best of there day!!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving! This turkey is stuffed!

Wow Jon, this fall has been tough on your vehicles. Hope it all works out okay...

Sorry to hear all of this, hope all goes well, take care

Hopefully you just blew a line that cools the turbo. If you'd stop hot rodding! Gosh!

I just had Thanksgiving part 2 over at my parents house, Thursday was at the inlaw's house.


Sorry to hear about your truck Jon. I hope everything turns out good though.

How was the pass, heading over to do some wheeling tomorrow on the east side

Back home now and back in touch with the RNL forum! Got the truck fixed at Gus Johnson Ford in Spokane, Wa. It ended up to be the "o" rings on the high pressure line that feed the turbo (good call Young )......also got a oil change!!!!

Well, had a great time in Montana, but no luck hunting! Saw some huge bucks, but couldn't get Jess in position for a good shot. The snow is now 12-24 inches (way more than usual this time of year) where we have seen all the deer.....and they are still there, but a real workout to get after!!!!!!!

We were thankful we were still able to make it to Montana after the truck got fixed and hung out with Jess' side of the family for a couple days. Thankful for safety on the roads too. We took the long way back....down through Oregon and picked up a Dana 60 for the rear of the Jeep!

Plan to get going on the winter build on the Jeep, now that hunting is over! Dana 60 rear, fix front 44, and a T 18 MT's (with Homey's help ). Will keep you all posted!!!!!

Glad to see you got back save and sound Jon and Jess. Do you ever carry a camera out hunting? I know it's extra weight, but just put it in Jess's backpack. She won't even notice

Oddly enough, she already carries the camera! I find 10 lb rocks and sneak them into her backpack on lunch breaks.....but I can't slow her down?????? I am out of ideas....... There are her boot tracks in the snow, and my boot tracks with something dragging between them! It is hard to keep up!!!!!!

Heck, that's a no brainer, give her your pack loaded w/ your gear (lead underwear & stuff)...between my tire carrier & your front axle there's definitely proof there that you carry a LOAD

watch out for those stumps Pick up what ever your draging and throw them over your shoulder.

Best idea ever!!!!!! Will do
