    Ever notice how things always happen at the worst moment possible? Last night coming home from hunting, my transmission starting acting up on me. Taking off, it won't shift until about 3,000 rpm, and only if I let off the gas. Of course this happens right as the rut is starting here in KS, so I laid around under my truck today instead of hunting trying to fix the POS. Got to have some codes read tomorrow, hopefully I only have to replace the TPS instead of the entire transmission (which I replaced 50,000 miles ago).

    Why can't these things happen in the summer? :throw::bash::argue::rant:

    I'm just poking fun at everything that's not a Chevy/GMC for no real reason. No hard feelings intended, Lincoln's are nice vehicles :)

    No hard feeling from me, but if I went home and told her she was a yuppie she would probably curse:o

    Compared to Cole, just about everyone on here would be classified a "Yuppie" Not many guys I know can pull off the Amish beard without actually being Amish.
