Have we lost our motivation?

Yep we need to have some kind of get together, maybe in a place like OKC.

You bet...maybe on one of my trips to Shreveport I'll swing by the Metroplex. I'll drop you an EMAIL if I'm planning a trip up your way.

Any time you guys find yourselves going to Houston, drop me an EMAIL and I'll send you my phone...I'm kinda cautious of posting it on discussion forums due to those who make it their business to compile lists of phone numbers and other info from the WWW...none of you guys of course! Sad world...

BTW, I'm working on the 94 Voyager this weekend. The LOB CV joint came apart a few hours ago, so I'm replacing a driveshaft! It never ends. The MG's got a slow leak on the LF inner tube, so it'll have to come off sometime soon.

Yeah, I needed something cheap and V8 to tow with, and this fit the bill. Then, unfortunately, the motor bit the dust. Rod bearings are bad as I can hear them knocking. Oil pressure was weak after driving for around half an hour, something I found out after I bought it, unfortunately. Car was still running OK, but then I was driving on the interstate and it overheated due to a bad water pump and no temperature gauge whatsoever! It was an option, can you believe it? What a piece of crap!

Crown Vic???

Oh man, too bad Uber. At least parts availability won't be a problem

Good luck.

I've got a FWD driveshaft to replace on the family Voyager now,
this morning the LOB CV joint went "BANG!!!" and came apart
while trying to go somewhere in a hurry

22 years of working on MoPar FWDs, I've never had a CV joint fail that way.
Wish me luck.
