Stupid

Yesterday I replaced the brake booster and m/c. No problem...


Last night I got to thinking, I did not use anything to seal between the booster and fire wall. I went into the shed and found some 1/2 wide close cell sticky back foam strips.
Removed the booster cleaned the fire wall and the booster applied the foam.


STUPID..............I have spent the last 3 1/2 hours trying to get that dang booster back in the truck. It looks as if the steel bracket on the inside that holds the brake petal has moved down. I should have just let it go or gooped some RTV and said to HELLo with it


Kinda hard to do by your self when it wants to lick your butt.


I knew it was going to good to be true.

why not? whenever one of my trucks break, that is exactly what i tell them!!!

then i let them sit for a week or two broken to show the rest of them what will happen if they decide to break on me.
they have all learned real fast who the boss is.
