Wanting to ship my own vehicle

Truck is not fixed yet. But she's home! Finally. I'll put her in the shop when I get home.

 

I finally put the poor girl in the shop that put in this new engine. No new work has been done to the engine since I drove to Arizona where she broke down.

Having Black Betty hauled back to Oregon was a bit stressful.

While at Pep Boys, I and the service manager went around and around with the slippery warranty company. It's next to impossible to reach anyone by phone. Finally received a case number via email.

I warned my mechanic of the happy times he will be having when dealing with the warranty company.

Finally, I expect everything to go smoothly from here on out. I'm going to replace the racing clutch that some bonehead thought would be a good idea to install.

This time I bought a regular name brand clutch; Saks. Should have done some reading on clutches before having the racing clutch, but I didn't.

 

Thank you for your interest. It's just a matter of time now that it's in the shop where it was worked on originally.

 

Black Betty has been in the shop for over a week now. Mechanic says the spark plugs were fouled, along with a couple other items I can't remember, in addition to the harmonic balancer needing to be replaced. Don't know how that happened, but those things do break.

Mechanic wanted me to order the new harmonic balancer so I gave that to him yesterday. Back to waiting.

 

Well, without being political, it takes time to acquire parts. Mechanic wanted me to buy a harmonic balancer.

Yes, the world is breaking down.
