I did not. I didn't feel inclined to lay under the truck in the rain.

My work computer crapped out today, so it'll be off to Albany tomorrow or Thursday. And to make the day better Balise Ford called and told me I need a new slip joint to the tune of $525.

Evening guys.

It is good that they found the problem Tom but not good about the $$$$
Maybe it was from all the snow ?

Can't think of any reason the snow would have caused it; the joint is protected by a rubber boot that's not cracked or torn. We'll see where things go from here, either the problem will be fixed or it won't.

What really sucks is how this would have been covered by my extended warranty that I bought with the Ex. I should have had this looked at two months ago and they would have paid for it.
