Well I didn't do anything but Dad overloaded the truck this morning before I woke up. He picked up his Versetta Stone for the front of the house this morning and took my truck as his Dmax has a 5th wheel hitch in it and the trailer is loaded with siding that he didn't want to unload.

So my old throttle position sensor did not have a gasket or o ring. My new one has both? I guess it can't hurt to put them on. Question though. Is this how it should go on? Lol I'm pretty exhausted so maybe I'm over thinking this but for some reason it just doesn't seem right..

Alright so just disregard that post ^ there's no groove for the o ring so I'm going to assume it's not necessary, and put the gasket on.

Last night I was bored and my lil brother brought home some blue LEDs he got for free from a buddy who also drives a 2nd gen dodge. Lil brother was hoping to fit them in his little blue kia rio. Wrong type. Buuuuut they are the type for the map lights and dome light in my Ram (I believe 194s) so I put em in lol

Seriously debating making the 3 hour trek to the dragstrip tomorrow night. Just really feeling the need to blow off some steam about **** I've had going on lately.

Really thinking this would be a good way to do that. Lol

Absolutely crazy 24 hrs, a huge rainstorm/windstorm came through last night with little to no warning. 80'+ cedars are down, power lines where/are down, water was down, big advertising signs are down. It's been a day of fix and repair the campground just to get water back.

I will post pix later on Friday. My web service is sketchy at best as I had to re aim the dish and its far from right.

I did get the new rad in the truck.

Edit: The last two remaining org driveline parts are now the ps pump and ps box thats it.

Damn, sounds similar to what blew through here last night. Wind took down a branch that buggered up the electrical ground for the house, took out the phone line and attempted to land on the 76. Glad you hear you're alright.

The truck is ok, the people I was going to help are ok and so is there new RV and Ford F150. I am ok but it all still seems very surreal to me, if thats the right word. Thank goodness the campground was almost empty and no one was parked in those sites, because they would not be here today. I wish I could post the pix up but it's way to slow web wise.

Thanks William

Edit: Good to read you are ok as well, weird you got the same kind of storm on the same day. Ours hit at 7:30pm pst

Damn. Tornado or just straight line winds? Sounds like hell touched down up there.

This hit around 8:30 central. Oddly enough was traveling north-south.

I am not very familiar with tornados but it was confined to a path, about 100' wide. The news is calling it strong winds lol, these cedars are big old tough trees 4' at the base or bigger they never have given me any worry.

It looks like a war zone down in that area.

Thats nuts. I remember one time out at the lake we had a similar storm and it took down a big old maple with a 5' diameter base, just ripped the roots outta the ground. Oddly enough many smaller trees were fine.

Straight line winds look different then tornadoes. Tornadoes tear **** up bad. Straight line winds just knock **** over. lol Since a tornado is a large vortex, it will literally twist and swirl stuff like Cedar trees.
