Was told today we have to make up 2000 cars in the next 7 weeks or so before the 4th of July shutdown. I see a lot of Saturday's, maybe a Sunday, though I'm doubtful they'd pay double time for them.
BDP Spring Dyno Day/ Sled Pull
May 21st. Dyno day and sled pull. Do yall want to try to make this a G2G? I am going to try to be there either way.

So, what you're saying is, don't buy a Benz for a while that's been manufactured in Bama?
We have to make these cars as they are already sold in some way to either a dealer or a customer order. The 2012's will start after shutdown. I couldn't say as to whether the quality would better or worse in all honesty. We worked 5 Saturdays in a row last year. I wasn't happy getting off at 1-2am Sunday morning night shift and then go back on Monday 6am day shift. It looked pretty on that check though, until they taxed it to death. I can use the money either way. We just owe on the Superduty, house, and 1 cc. I want the cc gone by the end of summer. We have some 2012 test cars running around we've already made, just not sure what changes we're doing to the line.

Get plenty of sleep!
Depends on how other lines that feed/pull from us run. We ran around 265 today in 8hrs and 42 min. 265 or around there seems to be our target number for now. We may be off this Saturday due to Mother's Day, but I wouldn't be surprised if we worked. They can wait as late as Thursday evening to make that call.
One week from today!! What does everybodys work days look like? I know there have been alot of stuff going on with all the storms that went through all over the south, but try to come if but for nothing else than to give your mind a break relax and hang out and talk truck stuff.:thumb:
Looks like I'm gonna miss this one too...
No go for me.
I remembered in the nick of time that the 21st is my anniversary so...

Yes you can get new shafts.
Honestly though I'm the wrong guy to talk to about transmissions. I bolt one in, and when it goes down somebody else takes it apart.
The clutches aren't quite as good as they're rated for on ferds though, IME.
I'd recommend buying more clutch than you think you'll need.
