Well gentlemen....i got her back on 4 wheels again friday night about 1800$$$$$$$$ later..... finally took my girl up to crater lake to take off where we left off visited the spot where i broke my axle and man this girl and i are doing even better we are attached to eachother like glue here is a pic of us i now got my 2 babys

 

Good to see you got her all back together man. The truck is looking good and the girl is looking even better.

 

Wow she really has good taste in trucks!--------but boyfriends, well that's another story.

Just kiddin. Glad it's all working out.

 

Do you two have matching boots or what ?

That's cool, good job!

 

yes we haveing matching boots that how we ware them ha ha ha dont know y but we think very alike ha ha ha ha.....jgger...you really know how to be a smartass...lol

 

looks your list of "mods " continues to grow

 

OHHHH we got a joker here everybody

 

Are retarded looking boots mandatory? You east coasters are weird...

Oh, almost time for new front tires.

 

those tires are mint i can get another 20k out of them ha ha

 

And rear's...

Glad everything is back in order but you should probably have your truck looked at before you try anymore ****-hooks. Just from the pictures we can see that you need some front-end work done a-sap.

 

SO MORE BAD NEWS GUYS last night on my way to work my new ****ing rear locked up on me and i almost slammed my head on the steering wheel luckly the cars behind me just missed hitting me so i had it towed agian not sure what the **** is going on with it now but i'm fed up with this ****....what makes its worse is that i had to call out of work i work the grave yard shift so i feel bad for first shift that had to work my shift as well... plus last friday when i was putting my rear in i had to run to the auto parts store for parts on the way there some **** stoped short and i slammed in to him with my other truck and now that one is wrecked now i have no sorce of transportation to work or anywhere for a while the shop is gonna look at my rear on monday so hopefully it turns out to be something small...i'm gonna say this one more time...ONLY THIS **** HAPPENS TO ME NO ONE ELSE

 

Well hey, at least you still have your girl...you guys could hitch-hike to the lake?

 

well i got better news now i went to the shop and looked at it myself...found out it wasnt my rear that locked up it was my front right caliper one of the bolts holding it in eased its way out and when i would go to stop inertia would take place and slam the loose caliper agianst my rim and wedge it in there thus making it seem like my rear was locking up so i found a bolt and put it runs like new again...plus yesterday i put a new YELLOW top optimum battery in runs like a champ now...now i'm not so pissed off any more

 

Yea, those caliper bolts will come undone if you don't use a good thread locker on them. You need TL Blue. Best thing to do is replace bolts. Ford sells those bolts w/thread locker applied. Those would be 10.9's. Also, you can't purchase good thread locker from a third party supplier, - sucks! You have to hit the dealership and pay their price. That Permatex TL is junk.

Your lucky I would say, when a a caliper flips around like that it can do allot more damage.

 

i guess you can say i lucked out on this one
