Planning to leave on a trip to Northern California next week. I will be crossing Utah & Nevada on Highway US-50 which I come to find out is called "the Loneliest Road in America". I'm sure some of you TDR members know about it. I must be crazy, but that looks cool to check out as I've been a couple times up on I-80 and like a different way for a change
So I thought I better get some spare parts in event of a break down. I've had my eye on the Boonie Box.
My inventory on hand I have filters, air, fuel, oil and storage boxes in the garage. I only need 2 hoses, belt and Pulley Tensioner.
So, I check the local parts places and the 2 hoses, 1 belt and 1 pulley tensioner alone cost $100.00 plus tax.
Once again the good people at Geno's Garage offer good value.
I bought the Boonie Box kit, starter rebuild kit with 10mm, 12 point wrench, to boot for good measure.
I know that starter problem will rear it's ugly head soon enough what with ~168,000 miles on the clock. I'm going to be ready.
Couple weeks ago I washed the underside of the mighty Cummins, 5 speed trans, and transfer case.
Yesterday I popped in a new BHAF w/ new RED Outerware prefilter and was on the creeper looking for any major leaks and was happy I don't see any.
Off now to the brake shop for a look see/checkup.
Also, I've got to put the dog on the lookout for the"BROWN" truck.
Thanks again Geno's Garage!!!!
Later, Tom
