More carnage?

Got 6 miles from home this time with 5er on too. Blew the guts out of my HPOP. Got a ride back to the shop to grab my old one and changed it on the side of the road. Breakdown? Check. Old parts? Check. Rain....? Check. Got her back on the road and went camping after all. I do love my truck, but after the carnage last week, I need a break.

Your not kidding. You need a break. Hopefully it holds strong for you now.

I'd guess you need a break! Only good things I guess are you only got 6 miles AND had a spare. Get some R&R Dave!

Only took about an hour and a half to get it done. Got out to the campsite by supper time and had a few days of rest. Sorta. My son was competing an the Manitoba (provincial) summer games in the senior sailing division. He came in 6th overall. We're pretty proud of him. Then this afternoon we got everything loaded back up and made the 4 hour hike back home. Truck ran well. A little weak now with the old 15* Hpop, but still moving.

Just for clarification, the Hpop that blew was a used 17* pump that I've been running for the last 4 years.

Well I dont say you need a break, you need a "LIMPIA",LOL. We use that in my country and Im going to try what that means in English:
Is a spiritual cleansing, which is used to purify people, ceremonial and ritual space, and ceremonial tools" Im sure you have hear something about that

When you a minute I would call Joey and see if he can fix it and upgrade it at the same time then you would know you can trust it again

I was kinda wondering who I offended. I've certainly made enough blood sacrifice. Gonna run my old 15* pump for now. Next job is to get my chassis cab rear axle set up to swap in. The pump can wait. Parts are in now. Updates will follow.
