Jim, how are you coming along on the rear axle? You got all the parts?

Yes, they do!

I used to live in the woods and had a flock of wild turkeys, tame to me. 😂

They'd come on by twice a day as they went out to forage, and back to roost.
Pretty amazing creatures!

I got my spider gears & pin today, also a gasket although I'm just using the green gear oil RTV for now, and it didn't come from the factory with a gasket. (I guess I like paying for pretty blue paper 😉)

So, the master shim kit and marking paint comes UPS, you can't ever trust them.
And the Dana carrier is FedEx tomorrow (at the local hub, on a truck RN)

I had to go to urgent care for antibiotics earlier.
I hope I'm in shape to finish this when the cold rain stops blowing on Saturday!

Well, if you've seen the WHYDTYTT you'll know that my shims and marking paste are delayed.
So, there's nothing to start with, as FedEx is OFD with the Dana carrier right now. 😡

I've got the carrier, but the shims and paste 🧙‍♀️

Somewhere near Chicago at a hub

Often if you look at the tracking, it will show the package having been bounced back and forth between 2 locations. Not sure how that works.

Jim, I had something I ordered years ago, it spent a week "circling" Baltimore. It would leave every morning, then be received again that evening. It was USPS. I went to my local PO in Newport News and was asking one of the clerks, she went and got the postmaster, who went on their system, I don't know what he did but it showed up in NN the next day.
