Hmmmm that truck is up in Bemidji. We are going to be pretty close to there this weekend.

 

<p>Got really lucky this evening. &nbsp;</p><p>Planned a fuel stop in Kenosha, WI. &nbsp;Coming off the exit ramp the brake pedal went to the floor. &nbsp;I still had brakes, but I came to a stop and made a plan on getting it into the closest parking lot safely. &nbsp;Brake controller in hand I slowly slinked into the first parking lot on the right, which turned out to be the lot of a Super 8 and called AAA. &nbsp;Master cylinder was halfway empty when I got there, so I would have had a couple more stops if needed. &nbsp;Turns out a steel line along the driver's side frame rail let go. &nbsp;Easy fix, but of course I lack the tools or parts to do this, so I'll be paying for it. &nbsp;</p><p>AAA towed the car, and since I rented a room at the hotel I didn't have to pay to tow the trailer. &nbsp;Extremely fortunate this thing didn't let go in the middle of Chicago a mere hour before that. &nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://s195.photobucket.com/user/tomboy376/media/Town%20Car%20pics/2015-09-03%2016.10.34_zpsw2dgmh5y.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z162/tomboy376/Town%20Car%20pics/2015-09-03%2016.10.34_zpsw2dgmh5y.jpg" /></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://s195.photobucket.com/user/tomboy376/media/Town%20Car%20pics/2015-09-03%2016.38.48_zpsckn3qqzp.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z162/tomboy376/Town%20Car%20pics/2015-09-03%2016.38.48_zpsckn3qqzp.jpg" /></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://s195.photobucket.com/user/tomboy376/media/Town%20Car%20pics/2015-09-03%2016.51.53_zpshdi6wj3h.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z162/tomboy376/Town%20Car%20pics/2015-09-03%2016.51.53_zpshdi6wj3h.jpg" /></a></p>

 

Wow Tom!!!!

Glad you caught it when you did!!!!
Might want to have them put in Flex hoses and bleed the whole system while you are at it..

 

<p>Thanks Randy.</p><p>The whole system will need to be bled as the master cylinder went dry. &nbsp;The front two flex hoses are relatively new, but I haven't done the rears. &nbsp;I'm just gonna have them splice in some new line to get me home, and will probably replace the rear flex hoses as soon as I get the chance. &nbsp;</p><p>424 miles to go! &nbsp;Hope they get me on the road early tomorrow. &nbsp;</p>

 

Good morning and have a fantastic sunny Friday MN and campers.

Hopefully Tom you will be back on the road soon.

 

Good morning Jim and everyone else.

Good thing you were ok Tom, line you said, bad news in Chicago...

Enjoy Friday everyone! I'm at the camper already!

 

Good morning Jim, Dave and the rest of the gang stopping by!

Its Friday!

Glad you were ok Tom!

 

<p>Good morning everyone.&nbsp;</p><p>Shop opens in 4 minutes, so hope to know soon when I can get on the road. &nbsp;</p>

 

Good morning Jim, Dave, Troy, Tom and the rest of the Minnesota gang!

Don't look now but it's FRIDAY!!!!!!!

Stay cool and hydrated out there...
Good luck Tom!

 

what forum are you moderator of Tom?

 

Got a call back from the shop a few minutes ago, apparently that particular section of line was repaired before. I noticed the splice connectors a year ago, but never bothered taking a closer look. It wasn't done right, and the line chafed against something which caused the leak.

$120 for the repair and I'll be back on the road soon. Can't complain.

I'm a mod for the Super Duty, 6.4, 6.7, Econoline van, and All Things Political.

 

That will keep you busy for sure, even without the politics
