Northwest... you'd have to take 195 West to Trenton, then 29 north, P'burg & Stewartsville are both along Rt 78.



My parent's live in Jackson. They'd rpobably go up the Pway to 287 to 78 W.

Oxjockey, you called it P'burg. Before I joined the Navy I worked at the Warren Glen plant of Riegel Paper. I used to love driving through Milford, but I don't know whether I'd want to come up that way anymore, at least if I was pulling the 5ver. I lived in Asbury for the longest while, until my dad got out of farming. Things sure have changed up that way, what with all of the farmers selling off the land and the city folks moving in. Other than the accents, living down here reminds me of growing up in the country up there. The heat sucks, but you kinda get used to it. The gnats bite too, the little *******s. Is the paper mill still open? Last I heard Warren Glen and Milford were the only two left. Great to hear from you.

Glad the board is fixed

It started acting up yesterday afternoon. GotDodge, I like that setup with the factory pump. Is that picture reversed? It looks like the passenger side of the truck. Not to be to technical here, but did you use a small aperture setting on the camera? I sent you a PM. This might be the next project.

For whoever posted that Dodge and Cummings need to figure aout how many pumps have failed: You do not understand the bean-counter mentality of such corporations!!! Dodge AND Cummings know EXACTLY how many pumps have failed. AND at what miles. AND know the cost of correcting the problem. But the bean-counters that run the financials say it is cheaper to replace under warrantee when the customer screams than to correct the problem for all the units sold.



This is the norm for corporations today. Everything is being run by the MBAs and finance department. I know. I work for one of these number crunching giants!

agreed, it is called increase share holder value and forget the consumer and what works. I'm not buying anymore of their junk.

Well then Gary, you will not be spending much money. ALL our corporations are run this way. The 'Bottom Line' rules. The CEOs and CFOs are managing for their bonus only. And this is USA and foreign as well. Most are "multinational". For example my new 'American' truck is 'hecho en Mexico'. Go figger... .

mine was mexican as well, kinda made me sad. it is bad enough it has the word daimer in front of chrysler on it as well.
