Well, hopefully anyways!!!

Three days ago I started tearing into my motor to put in a new cylinder head and intake manifold on. Two days ago I went on a 25-30 mile bike ride and pinched both ulnar nerves and can no longer use either of my pinky or ring fingers.

Anyone who knows what they're doing want to help a guy out this weekend or anytime next week? I can supply beer, and I have all the tools necessary :D

I've spent about the last three weeks swapping engines in two Dodge diesel pickups, one is done and the other has been delayed by issues getting clutch parts, engine and trans mounts but hopefull it'll be done over the next few nights. :D

I'm booked solid through the end of the month, but if you still need help after that, I can swing by.

I've done plenty of this stuff, got the trans and engine mated up in the truck tonight and we'll be putting together the puzzle that is the trans crossmember tomorrow along with the transfer case and whatever else we can get done. :)

I need money worse than food, no job kinda does that ... and I don't drink.
Had to look on the map where Robbinsdale is, looks easy enough to get to and at least it's on the west side.


I'd come by and do it for $20.
I'm open Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

How about $20 AND food/beer? Friday (tomorrow) would be great. My number is 612.558.1894. I'll be there at about 9am, I have no idea what your schedule is but whenever you could show up is good. Just call and I'll give you directions or address. Thanks!!

Friday good then? That $20 and food/beer offer goes for you as well. In fact, it goes for ANYONE who decides to show up and help!

9am :lol:
I don't wake up before noon, yes I'm a true deadbeat.

How's about around 2pm tomorrow.
Not sure what you've all got torn apart but shouldn't take more than an hour or 2 to get back together.
