Thumbs up Got my truck back!!!!!!

YAY
Okay, so I got my truck back, didn't have her for almost 3 days...

When we were in St Louis I let Johnny Lightning use my spare and he warned that there was a seal leaking in the back and get it in as soon as I get it home, so I made an appointment, for that, to have the oil changed, the fluid levels, specifically for the cooler problem everyone was having at about my same mileage checked and also, on the way home I managed to get the dang seat stuck in the forward position *pissed me off* Anyhow, took it in and apparently the seal was installed improperly...they fixed that. OH YEAH and I had yet another *fourth* fog light cover replaced. hehe But I was waiting on the latch for the seat when I remembered a post someone had...Billy did a search when I failed to find it and came up with Chucks quick fix, so I am standing there talking to my tech and he's going on blah blah blah who knows...so I jerk the seat forward and push the back as far back as it will go and just as he says *It'll be a couple weeks for us to get that latch in, til then you may have to* Just then I locked the seat back upright...And these guys FIXED my poor trucks leaky seal? hehe Hmmm K Johnny thanks for letting me know about the leak, Chuck thanks for the quick fix. YAY I got my baby back

Thanks Spiro Jas

Johnny,
I'm lad you noticed it, thanks again. Anytime I can do anything for friends I will so the spare was not a big deal at all and it turned out to be a good thing for me anyhow. Even though when I was out with Jared tonight he noticed my rear wheel was low and turns out I have a slow leak and picked up a dang nail. Oh well, was only a matter of time. I did talk to Garett about the brakes and he said not to worry, they took care of it...not sure if that scares me or comes as a comfort after today...hehe

Floyd,
To be honest, Johnny would be the one to ask about that. He was the one who saw it, I took a look when I got home and for all the mess under there I didn't hesitate *or mess with it* I called my dealer.

CA

Talking

Hey CA,
I have a good picture of your first qualifier on Saturday in St. Louis. If you and a white first gen Lightning were the first trucks down the strip that day. I didn't realize it was your truck until after the qualifier, I was looking for that big *** SVT sticker on the windshield. Does your truck have a PSP sticker now? I will post the pictures on BABolts zing site sometime this weekend. I also have a video of all the trucks first run on Saturday. The wife and I walked around the pits after the first run, but didn't see you. Maybe next year.
Talk to you later.
Jim

Johnny,

Good morning hehe I'll have to take the tire up this afternoon and have it taken care of. No biggie.

Jim,
Yep that was me. Will I NEVER live that big *** SVT sticker down lol I do have a PSP sticker on the windshield now. I know Billy got all my runs on tape and all of Jas Browns and all of the pro mod 5.0 and Outlaw so I will have to bring the tape next year.

Miss you guys so much already...

CA

Good thing Christy has all us big brothers to help her keep her truck in check. I'm pretty sure Christy will need new tires soon anyways with the way those tires were looking.

CA

You forgot to mention me saving your a$$ by yelling "COP" just in time before you got to roast your tires in front of him. hehe

BTW Did they patch the tire or are they going to replace it? See ya soon hopefully!

I got a equation for MAD's calculator!

Jared + Christy = Big Trouble and lots of red and blue lights (usually)
