You may be onto something there, which would explain why General Hood keeps insisting that it's no big deal.

Well, I'm not much for ride sharing. And it took me almost 12 hours to get there, 1,700 miles being a round trip. But fuel is cheap in that neck of the woods, so it was well worth it.

While he graciously offered me to stay in his house (I opted to sleep in my new trailer instead), I suspect that a 1,700-mile Uber ride could be costly.

Yeah, it could work well for eels, I suppose.

While I have no picture of the rut I created in General Hood's formerly perfect lawn, this photo of the trailer's tire tells the sad story.

No sense in being jealous. Not when you can come visit, and get some parts you may want.

Alright, I KNEW I should've taken a photo of the snow. If it clears up any tomorrow, I will. Okay, double checked, it's a "Winter Weather Advisory". Whatever it's called, there's snow in them thar hills now. So there.

Every day we wake up without a tag on our toe can't be all bad, right? Here it's raining, and will keep raining, for about a week - and we're under a winter storm watch. It did snow last night, down to maybe 8,000 feet. I traveled in your direction last week, but only to eastern Oklahoma...

Hey, you're still around, Ahab! I've been wondering what happened to you. Welcome back, Brother!

Somewhat close to Chama, so unfortunately not exactly along your Denver route. I have all kinds of little stuff, including new springs, come to think of it, and up to a built 6.5 and a 4L80E and an Atlas transfer case to go with it. Oh, and built axles, currently under a 6.2 Suburban. It's...

Welcome, 505. If you find yourself some 150 miles to the north some day, let me know. I have a few M1009 parts I should sell. That's if the 3.08 gears will make it up to 7,500 feet (sorry, couldn't resist).

That was the wrong Thing to go mudding in. No pun intended.

The rut, yes, except it was much longer. Also, it was in an area of previously flawless lawn.

Speaking of lighter notes, I must point out that I had a very nice visit with General Hood and his lovely wife last week. I can highly recommend that you stop by - especially if it's not during tornado season. Oh, and don't park where I did. I'll have to send him about a cubic yard of dirt to...

If not switching attachments between different FLUs, have you considered swapping over to regular quick disconnects and standard hoses? Surplus Center, for example, has affordable hoses. These days I think it's worth the extra money spent for flat-face couplers, though. I hate the inevitable...

Not that I have that problem, but it sure sounds like lubrication could be the simple solution. I suspect that stiff pivot points are responsible for most throttle linkage issues, especially when a heavy size 12 stomped on the pedal in the storage yard, prior to the auction. Putting...

Hmm. Somebody should post that info in the main thread, for everybody to see.

Sorry, I'm out. Good luck.

Okay, so it sounds like what you'd really like us/me to do is to go through the main thread for you and then post the most relevant pages, saving you the trouble? Or would it be more convenient if someone wrote a new post, condensing it into one really long one?

I think this is one of those "If you have to ask, don't do it" situations. FLUs are quite complex is several aspects, but how the attachments are held on is definitely not one of them.
