JJ's Place

Plum Rose in South Bend, just plain sucks!!!!! Been here since 11 for a 12 o'clock appt. Finally get a door at 1700 and had to blindside in to it. 1815.... still being loaded. Oh yea, my 1st successful blindside. Who's your daddy!!!! lol

 

back in hesperia. having a meal at the outpost cafe and another nap. these hour drives are starting to kill me.

and another return trip empty. getting back early enough to hopefully get some tires and a service. and a ride in this weekend. before they tell me i'm not allowed to leave my OTR home. i need to work.

 

got my freightshaker classic delivered to the yard today not exactly what i was told it was gonna be. not the large car with the bathroom and kitchen. oh welL but bit does have the big sleeper and all the chrome, and chicken lights, big texas bumper and drop visor. got the custom interrior with all the chrome switches, bezels, and custom lighting inside. got really nice carpeted floors which i think im gonna take out and do it in hardwoods. got a really kick ### paint scheme im gonna do. hopefully be riding by june. oh and if anyone knows of anyone looking we need 4 more drivers.

 

Out of where to where?

 

stopped at sapp bros before hitting the house. 11 o clock at night. nothing in the bays and 4 guys just walking around the office.

soonest they could get to me was 3 hours. so i came home.

 

i'll never ever never take my truck in for an oil change EVER EVER EVER again.

i can't afford them $3,000 repair bils. a simple fuel gauge fix being the majority of that bill.

 

the fuel gauge was $1200. they said the tank was positioned wrong. so in the process they broke the straps and charged me new straps. and since the tank was now out they decided to replace the sending unit too. all without consulting me.

i had them replace the water temp sensor for the dash gauge. fix the air leak. those were cheap. but it turns out the front axles were JUST starting to leak. along with the front axle pinion seal. and i had them fix the steering box leak also.


now i have to decide how bad i want my badly needed steers replace. i did call a tire store that one of my local construction jobs use. can get them for $800 installed and balanced.

 

Expensive beasts these trucks, especially ones that haven't been maintained, We put a new fuel sending until in our shaker and it really wasn't that expensive, JJ just informed me it was $134 with parts and shop fee!

Fuel gauge from the wreckers in Utah $5.00!
