Thumbs up to some great members!

The deuce recovery today went better than I had hoped, and the truck is now in my driveway. I've been outside to just look at it probably 10 times already I have pics and vids of the recovery to post later after the little one is asleep.

Just wanted to send public thanks to three members:

- John (aka Monkeythumbs) traveled about an hour and a half to drive me to DSCC, managed the whole recovery, and gave me great pointers on the truck. Not only did he meet me @ 0730 after working 2nd shift but he kept me from doing anything stupid, which is a feat by itself.

- Steve (aka Stoney_bogg) volunteered some left over deuce parts from his recovery AND dropped them off at my house last Saturday night.

- Alredneck offered back up transportation (on very short notice) in case things went sideways on the recovery.

Also many thanks to the countless people who offer advice, input, and great information about this disease, um, I mean hobby. These folks show why Steel Soldiers is absolutely the best forum out there! Thanks again!

I was wondering if you picked her up today! How'd the heater work?

Congrats on your recovery and good luck with the truck.

I assume you are already planning on getting a 5ton next

Not too bad, once I figured out how to turn it on correctly

You must not have needed your wipers, it takes a few more miles to get them working.

Actually I did need them, the passenger side "worked" but the driver's side was all manual operation.
