Talking Comedy at my expense

As I toiled weak and weary
dropping tools, not so merry
Replacing rotors, cheap not very
because the idiot ruined mine, furthermore

As I lay, on by back,
looking up, I see that
that the leak, futhermore
has gotten worse, then before.

Now I fix, with some o rings
spent a dollar, 9 for shipping
ripped me off, no time weaping
Spent the time, trying and keeping
my mule up, furthermore

Heres the closer, of my rhyme
I-beams read, on the right side
do not weld, heat, or bend
Now left side said, and this is the truthful end

The reason I wrote this is that I had 4 rotors for my truck. I bought 2 used from yard guaranteed to be turnable, lost reciept for 89 bucks to get money back because the hub of one is warped... Now I have 3. Pulled mine off truck and they are cracked. One salvageable, still factory. Now the idiot turned them too fast and gouged too much off instead of slow turns. Now I have one. So I go down to my Pep Boys where I have an account and buy two for 56.99 each. I hate the fact that they are made in china and I found out why last night. Lil hub cover has to be modified just a tad to stay on. Arrgggg. And the orings are NOT direct replacement. They are standard black orings with the inside diameter different, that doesnt matter what matters is if they will hold to diesel or bio before disolving.

When it rains it pours on me. I just did the springerpop mod for the ford air restricter to find out that fleetfilter changed product on the 6637 and my new filter has a new hole in it that I put there, had to make some mods on the mod.

Tell us about this change that fleetfilter made.

ON EDIT: Read in the other thread about the thicker end-plate material.

In the words of Emily Litella, "Never mind!"
