It Broke Again

It broke again, but Ed saved me at his office this time. Lost a few bolts and the Serpintine Belt. Ed has the ****!!!

Water pump bolts on the pulley came out, just two and the other two snapped....why, don't know. Very lucky though, they are opposite each other. Saturday, the pump comes out to remove the two old broken bolts.

Good thing for AAA and Ed.

Ed helped get the right parts, nice to have him a hundred yards away....until he had to leave. Did have help from one of the techs...16%.... AAA driver said I had the heaviest truck he's towed.

Mark, soon I hope.

I have had my truck towed several times. I always tell the tow company to send the longest and widest roll back truck they have.

I got towed home once - they sent an F650 rollback to carry me home. Glad you had AAA! You know Ed will be there for us!

I did tell them, and listened to their list of extra charges. My comment was where they could place the charges and AAA. Surprisingly, I didn't get the charges. Last tow, which was last month, 125 miles, was not charged extra. Another Ed rescue... So...why now??

Bolts?? There is only one bolt. 13mm deep socket.

The water pump was done back in January, well below freezing temps. in Northern AZ. Add up the miles to WA plus 1000+miles a week since March.

Its just another problem I did not need.
