I need some dynamite!!

I am ready to blow this thing up, new VP-44 (which had to be done twice as had a bad one from supplier), new Fass ( lift pump and holley went out at same time which of course took the IP with them), and now hydraulics on clutch are gone, hydraulics went out on test drive for pump(s) install, and brakes on both ends need done, all with in less than 5 miles of each other. I knew the brakes were about due but wasnt ready for the rest of this.

Not sure whats worse - monthly payments which I have not had for a while or the $$$ to keep them up and running dependably.

On the bright side, friends with Fords and Chevys are not happy either.

Oh yea - and the steering linkage all needs work too.

There goes my tax refund.

Thanks for listening, maybe I will get another 50k mile before something else - I guess the saying things happens in 3's is true I am now thru that process. I hope

Jeeze, that sucks man. So did you IP fail after you installed the FASS? Thats odd. With you rig and trailer combo (4 horse slant) in Arizona would be pretty rough on a truck. I rode with a gal up in the Panhandle of TX pulling her 3 horse slant and a well built truck are needed for those territories. The wind is so brutal up there that I wouldn't think twice about having a dually.

IP failed before Fass. The Az heat can put a truck to the test but overall mine has done pretty well.
