It's 58 miles from my house to work. Then back home. That's 116 miles not including the other places I go to during the day.

The round trip from Burleson to Brownsboro is about 225 miles and the daily round trip to work is about 52 miles. I do some running around and if we go to Tyler, thats another 40 miles round trip

Glad the truck is in a safe place, but don't send any of that weather this way please. We've had our share of it the past 2 weeks.

Unless it changes directions and wraps around, it's headed toward Arkansas.

I guess I can wait.

BTW Pat, good job on figuring out the blazer. That must have been a pita.

Thanks, and yah i mean ive heard they are hit or miss, and i personally know the Ford gaskets are rock solid, thats why i recommend them. If the headers went on easier, and were easier to change gaskets out, it wouldnt bother me to swap them if you had a problem down the road. But i like doing things right the first time, especially for paying customers.

But just as i did with your hanger bolt, I will ultimately do what ever you want me to since it is your truck.
