......and not tomorow after we leave on vacation to Fla!!!!

Damn plug on back of HPOP is leaking - again. I should have another one on board, but it sure will be nice to do it at home on a cold engine, instead of roadside and HOT.

I barely made it 1.5mi home before losing enough oil to starve HPOP. At least I have the SSJ valley-diversion mod, so 2.5gals of oil DID NOT go into my bellhousing and contaminate my clutch - NEVER AGAIN!!!

 

That sucks, Jason, but better than on vacation, and atleast you have learned your lesson on the clutch! Have a great trip.

 

You sure have some kind of luck Jason. Like you said tho better than on the vacation. Hows Daisy?

 

what is the SSJ valley-diversion mod?

and glad you got it fixed.

 

Thats sucks Jason. At least your are close to home.

I'll bet the SSJ mod is Jayson's invention!!

 

SSJ... huh... Self-Screening Jammer, Single Source Justification, Southside Johnny, I give up

I wouldn't let a little oil leak ruin your trip. Heck I just did 1100 miles with half of my serpentine belt missing.

 

Sky Ski Jason

 

I guess I over thank that...

 

And if I remember correctly it was pushing a hose or tubing into the valley drain to divert it from the clutch.

 

well at lest we know the truck can run on halve a belt.

 

I remember seeing a picture of the mod, but can't seem to locate it.

Jason, you have the word BEER in the title but no other mention about it.

 

I'm sure that, after the mishap, Jason downed a few in frustration.

 

I guess so Roland.

He did say he was "SOOO GLAD".
