That sucks Jay! I hope they came over and at least tried to cleanup the mess.

They were going to pressure wash everything. I probably won't get a good look at it until tomorrow after work since I am going to mom's tonight.

Hope they at least use a hot water washer. A cold washer won't do nothing for oil. Just move it around. Plus make sure they wipe your truck down afterwards or you will have hard water spots all over your truck which would suck!

Yeah, just water won't do it. I had to use a grease cutting soap.

Good evening everyone!

Sorry to hear of the mess Jay, but at least they're taking care of it. Tonight I drove the Kia for the first time in a few weeks and it hit me...in five months we've driven that thing over 12,000 miles. Nary an issue in that time, and it drives really well. It's been a great purchase so far.

Had the center hanger bearing in the diesel fail. Picked up the drive shaft after 3 new U joints, hanger bearing and balance. Got it tossed into the truck today and man does that run smooth down the highway!

It was 268 with the balance. I would have been at least 150 into it for just parts alone had I done it myself.

Good morning Jim, Randy and the rest of the crew!

Tuesday is here already so the weekend is getting closer.

I tried to cut the lawn last night but ran out of daylight. Did I mention how I love summer? This fall and winter thing is for the birds!
