The adventures of 'Team Klingon'

Well this week are out of the 'loop'.. It was a planned outage though, so that's a good thing. Got the truck into the shop for an overhead. Figure it's over 500K now and preventive is good.. Good thing we did, there was/is a leak around the cam gasket.. And I don't know THAT much about feigned, but a small leak can turn into a big leak.. And that can lead to big problems! So figure, yes fixing that will cost a bit more, but while they are fixing it, they have to do the overhead anyways...LOL! Also this was a PLANNED down time, so we aren't stuck away from home while things are getting worked on

So visited with 'the kids' and having a wonderful down day today... Tomorrow Klingon has jury duty (snickering behind my hand).. And the truck should be done by Tues/Wed ... That gives us time to clean and pack-up...

So back I go to finish watching Narnia, breakfast is in the oven, and we are going on a drive today on roads the truck doesn't belong on!!

 

Nothing has changes for us... At least for now. We will see what the new year brings

 

Will do and we will wave!

 

Newest up date... 2 weeks ago got an overhead done... Now we have noticed a coolant leak... Sigh... Let our DM know, and we should be able to make it back to French Camp where the overhead was done. However we will be out of the loop again, which means a week off. $$OUCH$$ Good news is our 'On Spot' chains are in, so we will be able to get them installed while Matilda is getting this leak checked out. At least the liquid is coming OUT instead of leaking IN (like with the previous problem we had).

 

Well I bit the bullet and bought THE KR scan gauge... We'll see if it improves my/our driving habits once we get Matilda back out of the shop... Almost home... Just another 250 miles (half gallon of coolant) to go. What's funny is our DM wanted to know if we wanted to swing by WVC for the 'shop' to look at the leak... We were polite and mentioned it was possibly the head gasket, since that was just worked on... However in the truck we were laughing out loud!! Not just LOL, but really out loud

 

Sigh... Maybe we should have had another shop look at it... Naw... Just frustrated with French Camp...here we talked them up, now getting disappointed. Took truck in for a Friday appt, for repair and it is now Sunday and the might get to look at it this afternoon. Sigh...
