My kid tore it up !!

My Oldest daughter decided to go four wheeling last weekend . After Packing Mud in every freakin nook and cranny, A battery light came on and the truck quit on her in the middle of an intersection the following day - battery puked - HAHAHA - Serves her right .

Well , I grabbed another battery and replaced hers (temporarily) to get back to the shop at the house here..

I tried to work on it earlier this week , but man I hate working on a dirty truck with this kind of problem - IT'S FREAKIN BAD -




The Alternator bearing was a little loose - Replaced it today and began to clean up the inside and outside of the Alternator and notice this -



The top of the housing was smashed in a little .. How in the hell could she of done this ? Well it cleaned up okay and spins real well - It was pretty nasty inside though lol ..Yea , that's toward the top of the alternator and it wasn't like that before we purchased it last summer.. Of course my kid has know idea... - uuhuh.. This isn't going to affect anything in the future is it , has anyone seen this type of deal before?

Well , Like I said , it cleaned up well and spins okay -




Freakin kids!!

I am thinking...use a belt...a bus pass...and make HER clean the truck!

Upon second thought, a belt leaves marks...I saw a movie where someone put oranges in pillowcase...

She didn't get stuck , They have a little club , that's actually pretty cool - In the summer she drives rge tractor at the mud bogs to pull the ones out that don't make it.. The funnest part to watch is her hooking that big a$$ cable while she's yelling at the driver to get back in there truck - there not suppose to get out for insurance reasons - but they never listen . Thats allot of fun ..

I think she was drunk to tell you the truth - to do somthing this freakin ignorint!! I shouldn't say that.. I don't know .. But I took Phills advise and let her truck sit for week before really working on it..

Yea she's going to clean it alright - thing is , the spickets are still froze here . I should have hooked a hose up in the house and made her wash in the cold - She could get it muddy in the cold , so she can sure as hell can clean it up out there!! Hmm , That Monster Jam 's tomorrow and she's been talking about that all week - Tomorrow might be a good day for her to wash 'er up ehhh..

From what I understand they were out in one of her friends field - A friend that I never heard of or met, so I don't know- maybe.

I guess it could of been worse , she could have been out in one of the cow pastures around here.. - She wouldn't have drove again until spring if that was the case..

I always liked watching that Crazy **** Grave Digger.. Ford Field is close - My brother lives right by Livonia Mall - He went to Clarenceville high school - I thinks that's out by you..

In fact , two of my brothers went their..

I have to finish her truck - An explorers out in the drive - dealership wanted $1200 to do something to the trans , I have know idea what for that price - I'm just flushing and refilling w/good sh^t and some friction modifier for the guy - see what happens Then I'm pulling mine in if I get to it..

I doubt I'll be going this year myself , so take some pics .. I'll have some tomorrow night from everyone around here - I still might go.. Not sure..
