MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MAYDAY!

Passenger front bearing seized, damn near threw Excursion off I-65 southbound just south of Greenville, Alabama.

In desperate need of help, be it a jack and stands loaned and a ride to the parts store or a tow someplace safer.

I'm situated now. Appreciate the bumps fellas, honestly - thank you!

Took the truck to a reputable shop in the area and am shacked up at the Holiday Inn. With my pinched nerve in my back, I probably couldn't have fixed it in the parking lot as originally hoped.

Glad you are on the road to getting it fixed and that bad things didn't happen when it locked. Enjoy your "Spa" day.

They were MasterPro's that got put on exactly 13 months ago, which is exactly one month after their warranty expired.

It's honestly my own fault, with the flood in Houston last morn I meant to grease them up again and kept forgetting. Tomorrow I'm ordering new from Ford for both sides and they're going on along with new ball joints.

Sorry to hear about your troubles on the road, that always sucks to be in the middle of nowhere (or at least too far from home base) when something fails.
Glad to hear that you are getting all sorted out with some good parts!
Next time out, check the member's map before your start breaking stuff on the road!
