I do not want to be in this club.
well they are mean sons of *****es!
I do not want to be in this club.
I'm in agreement with you.I do not want to be in this club.
Or live rounds flying past your face.
I feel a nap coming on....later all!
Crap. I was hoping for another sunny day. Thanks a lot...slacker!
I am gonna pull out the range gear.
If you lost the planetary's you may want to consider a rebuilt off the shelf trans. When those gear sets pop they send shrapnel all through the trans.
You most likely drove the truck like you loved it. Not saying the boy did not but a change of steady drivers can bring out some issues. I am sure he misses the power available in the car he got out of.
We're the INGO Lurking League we sleep in caves and ditches we wipe our ass with broken glass we're mean sons of *****es!
'Murica!
He claims he never went over 60 with it and I tend to believe him as he had some issues earlier in his life that led to high risk insurance and he understands that tickets could leave him walking and uninsurable! We have two local places/people that we were going to talk to about the best option for replacing it or rebuilding it....if that is not going to be too expensive. I hate to do it, but it sounds like we may be taking him my truck tomorrow to borrow for the week to give us more time to explore our options. Car rentals are insanely expensive for a 21 year old so that is not an option. I guess we will wait until we can find a car carrier available and then go back to get the Jimmy and drag it home. We may end up junking the Jimmy and his car and putting whatever we get out of them toward something else. I really need to just go back to bed and start over I think!
Terminal speed does not have a lot of effect on the planetary's. Acceleration and towing does. If the trans runs low on fluid it can burn them up. Metric 200 trans is not a tough one to begin with. Not putting blame on the son. These issues show at or around 90 K in those trucks.
Sorry to hear you are having a rough time.
About a million dirty dishes and a ton of other housework. That's what I had to do today because my wife is working. It just wasn't right to leave it all for her. My son gave me a hand so that took some of the load off. I gotta admit though, I am NOT very good at this. I'd rather be destroying my back digging a ditch.
Good job!
My wife told me the other day I make a good house-husband...not sure if that was a compliment or not...good thing I'm going to the range today to renew my man card.
I will have the man card committee on hand the stamp your card. You need a witness.
I help the wife a lot in the house. I do not touch the new washer/dryer combo. They are far smarter than I am.
