The 6.4 threatens and her sable complains, but we keep shoving oil down their throats and tell them to say our names lol.
I spend a lot of time trying to limit the cost of owning a 6.4, but there is no way in hell that I would let Claire drive anything that would leave her on the side of the road. Unfortunately I don't find out about issues till she says her steering wheel is loose... Yeahhhhhhhhh going down 494 watching her steering wheel made me want to end my life while I was in control.... I have learned that I need to take her car for a drive every now and then to see if a wheel is going to go rogue lol.

There isn't one! Damn thing got to the dealer and has started every time. They parked it on a hill, let it sit, and had their tech drive it around, and it's working just great. They're gonna try again tomorrow. Kind of frustrated...this almost reminds me of the 6.7L trucks that have their fuel pickup get plugged by the additive cap seal. Perhaps there is something in the tank that's causing an intermittent obstruction? 
Yep, my wife is the same way. I'd need to work the bugs out before I'd trust it enough for her to drive. I'm fairly good at catching things before they leave you stranded, her not so much.

Good morning Minnesota Humpers!
Tom - I hate things that "Fix" themselves.... Ignition modules and fuel pump relays have been known to be fickle, but you hate to just start throwing oarts at it. You'd think that it would throw you a bone (code)...

Good morning everyone!
My wife had a follow-up appointment with the knee surgeon yesterday, and it looks like we have a surprise change of plans next week. She's having another surgery on Tuesday to remove scar tissue from the operation in January. Pretty fortunate my job is flexible around stuff like that, I submitted a leave form for Tuesday-Friday of next week.

Saturday=Mostly sunny, with a high near 74. Southeast wind 10 to 15 mph.
Sat. seems to be shaping up to be the nicest day of the week! Might have to enjoy a beverage or two.

Not yet, I'll probably start running those when it gets closer to Friday. That's the soonest I can drive around and actually buy something, and I don't want to waste money checking on something that'll be sold before then.
