Fess Up Time
Fess Up Time
Just a random thought... What kind of things do we do to our trucks that turn around and bite us because we weren't paying attention the first time...
My recent best--The 89 D350 was making a horrible grinding noise after front brake pad replacement. I thought, "Huh!, strange"...Rolled it in the shop and tore down the noisy caliper. Found I had flipped a pad backwards while doing it the first time. In my defense, I DID have kids underfoot, but REALLY????
Now no noise, just sheepishness. 'Course the BOSS was there to see the problem and she likes turning wrenches more than me!

Dang, Fess up Time sounded like you were going to come out of the closet riding a sheep wearing women's clothing waving a North Korean flag
drinking milk out of the carton proclaiming your love for Boy George and to tell us where you buried Jimmy Hoffa on your way to your night job as a stripper.

Bark,, Your post made my day and it just started. I haven't laughed like that for a long time. It sounds exactly like something my Dad would say. So close in fact, you got me wondering!!
And, coffee burns when it shoots out of your nose, Thanks a lot!
(How did you know Louisville just had a "rainbow" parade????)

That's part of the reason I gave up the hard stuff.
Yeah, it is a little out of line.
sherod would never own a North Korean flag.

Shrews don't judge you and if they see you naked they don't point and laugh.
Edit:
Ooops. That didn't do much to put the thread back on track.

wanted to surprise hubby ( no Bark ) and checked out front wheel bearings on the 04.5 1 ton that day. forgot to tell him, left on an errand.
he had put the truck up and since everything checked out he thought the problem was deeper, so he checked the whole front end out, repacked the grease, flipped the bearings and race from side to side.
drove truck next day with both of us in it, hearing a noise/vibration. Each of us thought we screwed up, would fix it when we got home. never said anything, found out when we went for the same tools.......
sooooooBruce, c'mon, just a lil tale ........

I replaced the rear shoes on my 89 dually several yrs ago the day before we were to pull to a horse show
Next day we pull the $25K 3 horse slant trailer with both our show mares and the stallion 250 miles to Salina Ks and back. We get home, unload and I notice that the right duals are sticking out if the fender well a little too far.
Seems during reassembly "someone" forgot to install the locking clip on the bearing nut, it had spun completely off and the axle was sliding out of the tube
Carefully crept the truck into the barn and fixed it, to thus day THE BOSS has no idea........
