    pretty great day :)

    started out the day scrapping a 96 4x4 blazer that i had picked up yesterday they had rolled it, made good money and still got the wheels, radiator, and battery the cat was EMPTY grrrrrrrr. went and bought a ford contour we made a little got two alum wheels not sure why the battery and the radiator, cat was EMPTY and it was one of those jokers that come out the front grrrrrrrrrrrrrr. sucks to cut them off and find it out. anyway headed out to pick up a dodge durango, i told my partner if this thing doesnt have alum wheels on it we will just cut off the cat and take it across the scales instead of taking it back to the house and doing it right (trying to be lazy i gotta work tonight). well it had alum wheels and a matching one under the truck. bad transmission the guy said, we loaded it up took it to the house. anyway started right up. found the dealer sheet that was on the window when it was new SLT PLUS it has a 5.9 or 360 in it sounds good and loud, out the pipes my partner got to jacking around with the four wheel drive shifter and the truck jerked, then back out huh??? anyway something is messed up in the 4x4 part the transmission is fine, if we pull the shifter way down about where low would be its in 2wheel drive, and even farther where you shouldnt even be able to pull puts it in 4 high, you gotta hold it in both these spots runs and drives good until you let go of the shifter, we gonna look at it closer tomorrow, i think im gonna keep it if it don't cost too much i paid 425 for it figuring id get around 600 at the yard broke down
