Good Morning CT!

TGIF and Good Friday!

 

The salesman did that, these plates I've had since 2006 on my Ranger, and I carried that number over. I have yet to take the sticker off, I keep forgetting

 

Mostly Aarons doing, if it was just me, it wouldnt even be close to what is it is now. I am good for doing what Im doing now, online ordering parts.

 

Morning all!

 

I helped a really little bit

 

Hey guys. Hows it going?

 

wooooo friday!!!!!!!

my uncles truck just got back from the shop a few hours ago, but of course not without some complications. we go 30 minutes out of our way to pick it up, and we get there and the guy says after bein[IMG][/IMG]g on the phone a few mins "we really dont know where your truck is.... and we forget to tell you someone stole your strobe light" my uncle was so pissed he just walked out and started laughing. we went back at 430 or so and they had it, and still cant find anything wrong. they were going to replace the cam sensor but decided not too (lol?). now we are waiting for a salesman that said he was going to call my uncle today about an '11 but decided to take the day off. needless to say the 04 is probably going to be lit on fire if it doesnt start again. the problem is it cranks like hell but wont start, sometimes. when the dealer had it, it started every time lmao. what a nightmare

this is what weve been rolling in the past 2 days

and this is what will probably be replacing the 04. bad picture

 

Evening guys.
Miles it sounds like he might have a weak FICM.

I hope everyone has a good Easter.

.

 

Hope you guys remember how it goes back together!

 

You too Andy.

I forgot to add that they replaced that 6 days ago for a nice $1000 or so

 

Miles you could have gotten an upgraded, tuned, 58v unit from Swamps for about $600.
Ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Luckily i dont pay for it cause its not my truck but my uncle didnt have time to wait for a down truck anymore. its prime time for pools and we have lots of jobs from snow damage and the weather already screwed us up. just getting back on track when the truck broke

 

My truck decided today that I wasn't giving it enough money or attention lately so it spit out a brake pad.

I was backing out of a parking spot and hit the brakes but the pedal went to the floor. I got out to see if I blew a brake line or what and saw my brake pad on the ground. So I made the executive decision to limp it back to the shop with no brakes. I almost called Aaron sos he could ask Ray about borrowing a trailer to tow it back but decided that was too much work.

Got it back to the shop and started tearing in. Right rear rotor was pretty torn up and the left side's slide pins were frozen in place so I put new brackets + calipers on both sides on the rear. Went to put new pads on the front but the NAPA pads I got don't fit so I'll be returning those tomorrow and hopefully getting something that'll fit properly then I've got to bleed the rears and hopefully I'll be good to go again.

I was REALLY hoping to be able to buy the Timberwolf TW-5 wood splitter that's coming up for auction next weekend. In fact I was just leaving from checking it out when the brakes let go but since I had to spend money on brakes that's a no go.

So my day was just AWESOME...

 

I rarely get brake pads that fit (or at least that move smoothly). I just take the bench grinder to the ends until they slide nice and easy.

 

Prologue: When discussing BRAKE pads let's call them brake pads not just plain pads.

Back to your regularly scheduled post:

True but for 60 bucks I'd think the stupid things would fit!

Oh well.. next set I get will be from NorKor.

By the way if anyone needs clutch work or brakes I highly suggest you go see John at NorKor Clutch & Brake in New haven.

We got our grinder clutch redone there and I got new rear rotors there today. Pretty good pricing and you couldn't find a better guy to get your clutch and brake stuff from. And he's got Diesel Kleen, PB Blaster, etc as well
