Recommended Posts

First and foremost to everybody and all of my friends on HDT happy holidays! 

I have finally completed my first leg of the marathon!!! I have all of the mechanical work done! Yippee for me. Tires and a 3 axle alignment for 3000.00 last Friday. The truck is air tight, has no lean and Will pass a safety inspection.iamnow road worthy for the first time in 3 and a half years. Now for the fun stuff......... beds, Chrome, paint, interior new seats , new stereo and a year at Jack Meyer's back near my home town in Kansas. Thank to everybody who told me it is a marathon not a race.

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 

Sincerely,

Vegas Teacher, Cory Ossana

That's great. Now that you have a solid foundation, you have something to build on. Hopefully the road ahead is a little less stressful with your truck.

I have been wrong before, I'll probably be wrong again.

I have always read and listened to your advice, and I read all of your postings to find out good information. Happy holidays and please keep good advice coming on all fronts.

Howdy Cory,

I am so glad to hear your getting it all together.  When I first saw your truck and the lean it had on the front corner I was concerned that you had some sort of major structural damage, so happy for you that you got it fixed and it's now ready to start putting the "lip stick" on.

Hey Shark, good to hear from you! Hope all has gone well for you and your class "A" mine comes this summer. 

Happy Holidays to you and yours!

I was happy that Steve got on a creeper and went stem to stern and found it to be in good condition but that is the plus of having a good mechanic. Happy Holidays.
