Wow dude at this point I feel bad for the OP who came here to ask a question and this is what he gets. We get it Troll you hate Rams and I could care less not even my favorite brand by any means, but there transmissions are actually pretty solid after years of bad ones so yeah keep bashing everything on hear to stir the pot but you really don’t know what you’re talking about. They have a few other weaknesses but transmissions are not it. Why don’t you keep talking about their stickers Walleysforme!!

Where do you have to disconnect the pipe from ? Dropping the exhaust is usually a pretty easy task for some one handy.

Not sure honestly we figured out a way to just do a drain and fill on mine. It sucks they put a drain plug in the bottom of the pan only to run the exhaust right under it. Its not a hard task to drop it, but I refuse to disturb a not leaking gasket if I can avoid it thats all.

Looked it up about $300-$350 for a new pan and 6 qts of fluid. I did a drain and fill on my F-150 filter was $30 and 2 jugs of Motorcraft oil was $70.

Sure but you probably didn’t have to drop your exhaust to do it.

Yup, if you twist and spool it backwards, it will want to jump off the spool, also if you over fill the spool it will jump off the spool.

Yeah I see most people put to much line on there reels most of the time. Never heard of that trick Sharon so thanks for sharing.

I believe John is in Ham Lake area – kind of west side. He’s good sh*t and will take care of you. If he can’t do it, he will know someone that can.

Thanks GG.

I see your in Champlin, I would recommend taking it to one of our stores we have two shops in the Maple Grove/Osseo area and also Brooklyn Park. If you would like me to I can speak with one of the managers there and make sure you get taken care of. I own and 2019 and it is quite expensive to service those if you commit to doing the full job with the filter/pan and chryslers special juice. You can either respond here or PM me and we can exchange numbers if thats easier

How about up by us ? Does thorne bros do this ?

Maybe, I know Vados bait has a guy. I thought one of the guys that closed Wayzata bait down was still doing it, I think Gim had his contact info

Nothing down by you sir.

Finally got the crestliner done that I picked up off John’s buddy after he wrecked it. After some welding, cutting torching and fabricating she is now water ready. Was going to break it in yesterday but the wind kept me from crappie fishing. Today the storms are keeping me home. Maybe tomorrow evening.

Glad your about ready to get it back on the water. Kinda think in hindsight we should have taken on the project of bringing it back to life but if being honest you have a better skill set for it anyway. The transom is one of the things that had him most worried about that boat when he found the damage. Hope you and the family make some great memories in that thing.

Love this quote DW!

Pete that system looks slick, I have never seen or used one.

I remember having it as a kid, I think we ran up and hit the run once but I was super young and don’t really recall much. I would try it again.

I’d go ahead and do the replica. It isn’t about what your buddy caught. It’s about what inspired this thread.

Well said Tom! Very cool fish

Yeah, not giving him anymore clicks. Pretty sure the original video tells the story.

I watched it and my opinion of Brock didn’t change to much but it is possible that he did not intend to board the boat like Aaron claimed. I agree it does not look like he touched him.

Well since it fell on Easter weekend I thought to post it on this thread.
The FW and I celebrated our 50th Anniversary on Saturday. Kids and grandkids were all home so all went out Saturday night for a little celebration.

Wow, congrats. 50 years is a long time!

Cool video, sound worked but was very low, maybe you old guys just couldn’t hear it

Good buddy, I was worried about you for a second there.

Your wife’s wedding anniversary? Wouldn’t that also be yours?

Happy Easter everyone!!

I drove by the west side yesterday and its open and will likely be called, however there is still a lot of ice on the north end, I didn’t stop to look but ice as far as I could see around Myr Mar and even a bit south of it.

Seems a little early doesn’t it. Guess I will have to get the feeder ready

Dave to the rescue!!

Oh, I see what you find funny, I meant the file size. My iPhone pics are ginormous. I mean, the walleye and smallie were nice and all, but I don’t think they broke any rules

Lol okay that makes more sense. They were nice fish for sure though.

Like this if it works

He sent me a picture and it was more like a flat piece of aluminum tray so you can access everything easier it slides out the tailgate area.

I noticed it last night on my post as well. Thought I violated some thread rule posting pictures of fish that were too big or something.

Now that’s funny right there!

Agreed Randy! Lots of great memories on this site and met some great people too. The support alone from when Billy passed away is still something I treasure deeply.

Couldn’t agree more guys. Sharon I still remember that day, I was still kinda new here at that point and your post really hit me hard that day.

I know Netguy it trying to find out if anyone has used these hopefully he can get something to load here.

I wonder if Dave needs to do some of the stuff he does to fix something. I know Netguy was trying to post about this sliding truck bed contraption he is thinking about buying. You literally can’t see whatever the first post was even when starting a new thread.
