I started this truck to let it warm up and Im not sure how but somehow it popped into reverse.
Scared the dogs pretty bad.
My sons brand new 08 is usually parked right where this thing went, but luckily he was at work.

Wow thats scary Ken.

I am glad its just a minor gate damage, not your sons new ride.

I will check the wreckers around kamloops tomorrow if you like.

That would be very helpful thank you. I am not having any luck around here. I did find one at the coast but he wanted 6 for it then add the fuel to go get it, it really wasn't worth it to me.

As far as work done to the truck... The BII just got a cat back muffler installed so I can get through air care. I only had enough saved up for a muffler and the guys there told me I needed to get a new O2 sensor otherwise it wouldn't pass. So luckily for me it was a couple days before payday. I waited till payday went and got the O2 sensor from an auto parts store I deal with and brought it to the muffler place. They went to try and install it and told me that the plug in where it goes was all melted and gave it back to me...
I looked at the wife and said well only if I can get 3 months Ill be happy. Took it to air care expecting to fail with no O2 and by the time the test was finished they gave me the report. Like I say expecting to look at it saying fail I read the words PASS. WTF no O2 and it passed?? oh well at least now its good for a year.
So shes got a Flowmaster 40 on her and were good ta go.
