2nd, never really thought about it but I was talking to my dad the other day about getting my new gears. Its about a 2hr drive back and I asked him how we would let the gears cool off without stopping all the time because I saw on here that you have to do that with new gears. Ya I know you have to have the whole "break in" period and just take it easy, but he brought up ( being that he used to be a ford mechanic) that he used to change gears all the time and he's never heard that you have to let the cool down. Cause it's like a new car, you don't have to let them cool off. So do you or don't you?
I haven't heard of letting them cool down either.....

I read that as well bud... my advice would be to contact the manufacter of the gears you are planning on dropping in the truck and see what they say

I am supposed to play in the morning but the weather is not looking to promising. Sunday should be better. I am itching to try my new driver and hybrid out.

The key to any club is matching the shaft stiffness with your swingspeed. It is extra critical with the driver and hybrids. I carry 2 hybrids, a 19* and a 21*, and love them.

Picked the pontoon boat up from the shop after work and getting ready to take it back to the lake for the owner.

It's not heavy enough that I thought I had to kick it out of OD but the SLIGHTEST grade I lose speed and kicks down into 3rd. Today I kept it out of OD on the way home and it did just fine. Maybe I'm expecting too much out of the truck. I just thought it should handle it better than it does.
