As far as past lives go, according a friend of my moms that's into that, I'm a new soul with no past lives. Maybe the Trac is haunted.

Maybe our society is changing where people do notions wristband responsibility. I went through a sales class where we were taught that most sales rep do not call back customers. That is why it is easy to secure customers by simply calling them back. For your rims I would get them online and find a local tire shop to mount and valence them. Or, Demon can add a tire balancer to the club shop wish list.

I've driven 75 miles an hour down the freeway on what is now Parker's current setup on golf balls. They work through centrifugal force.

I was ordering them purely for aesthetic reasons, since I have the set Klare gave me I only need one more. So I'll probably just stick with that plan. As far as my MTR's go, I've never had an issue with them feeling funny all over the road, they've been balanced like a regular tire. I will like I said try to spruce up the Klare wheels a bit though.

Just ordered a new E Brake cable off ebay $12.91 shipped winning, so we'll add this on during the next time we get together to work on her.

Break the bank on that purchase. It'll be good that the Trac will be able to park in hills again.

Found the issue potentially with the brake lights and horn. Some wires that were spliced into from what appears to have been from the old alarm that were coming apart a s rusting.

All thanks to kris and Russell.

One of the last things we did yesterday before I loaded the Trac up, was try to load freon on into the system (new condensor when I did the motor swap). Well, the new AC controls were working, blowing hard but the compressor wasn't coming on. The pulley it's self was moving, but compressor just wouldn't come on.

I was talking to a buddy of mine Eric (he was at Kris' for the motor swap) and he had said he's run into this issue before as well, and that the safety switch just needs to be bypassed to basically jump start the compressor - he also added it'll need more freon than the one bottle we loaded in there to make the compressor come back on. So he said he'll walk to me through jumping it whenever I'm ready.

I was googling a bit and found this, so incase anyone is interested.

Just dropped the wheels and tires off at Discount Tire, and told them I'd pick them up tomorrow. Didn't feel like waiting. On a side note of that, the rims are only 8" wide (boooooo), but Klare was kind enough to give them to me so they'll do.

Went to Bowles exhaust shop, and the dude waddled over and just said "nope", and proceeded to tell me to find a performance shop to get a new set up (ummmm no thanks). So then I went over to A-1 Transmission, the folks who have done the work on the super duty to see if they had some insight on a place in town that could do it. To my surprise, Michael the owner said he can just heat it up and move it over so it's out of the way with out having to remove it and do pipe bending etc. So I've made arrangements to drop the Trac off with him next Monday.
