The Charlie Truck

Damn, that lying sob must of dunked the truck in a creek before I got it. well engine #2 should be coming into town late thursday, early friday, so lets hope we have better luck with it cause I'm running out of spares.

yeah looks like it was a beach truck or something... one that liked to swim, but yeah hopefully number 2 works, thanks chris :beer:

I'll give you a call when I get back to town with it. Is the number you have in your sig your cell phone?

They got it all apart but the new u-joint they bought didnt fit, so lissa is finishing it up today

they BOUGHT a u-joint?
Kopecki must not have been there with his receipts :D

did you guys decide to swap the rotor out and see if that fixes it?

its all together except for one bolt that holds on the caliper i couldnt get it on and there wasent a boy around to help me. i think i messed up the heli coil thing so ill probably have to redue that but shouldnt take to long

well robert if you think about it the bolt really has no load but to hold the caliper in place. So it should be ok but helicoils are really not meant to have a bolt run in out alot they just dont hold up over time.

You know that thing was held on by a zip tie daisy chain before, right flem?

forgot about the zip tie. Sounds rike the repair is up to par. I hope the bolt doesn't brake and rip the brake rine and roose control. I'll just have to rook out for it on the road.
