Where is everyone #5

Update on the shake for those concerned...


Started doing it empty so I got to feeling around up front looking for leaks etc etc yankin and jerkin on stuff

Drag link (?) has some movement in it that it shouldn't. Put it on the list to replace when I get home. Shock bolt bracket thing..... not really the bolt itself loose as I can't turn it but where it goes in the bracket under the leaf is loose. Either replace it or tighten it up if I can when I replace the other parts. Creeping through Atlanta I could feel it slow speeds in the front. And evident in how much the fender was flopping up and down.

 

Yeah, front end parts don't take much wrong with them to cause some kind of symptom. Better to catch it while it's in it's infancy. Hope that will take care of your problem, since that's the kind of thing that will drive you mad trying to find.

It's likely had the issue for a little bit. Apparently was missed when it was aligned and I didn't do my due diligence on double checking the guy when I got it from them.

 

One hole cross threaded and stripped, another crossed, and the idiot torqued down against the crossed thread, so the bolt wasn't actually tight. Every bolt with three colors of rtv... black, blue and white, at least I think the black and white are rtv. Anyhow, the spec is red rtv. Several beers are in my immediate future.

 

LOL no doubt!

 

That was narrated in my mind with an impact gun brapping away. Pretty sure there was a spit of chew at the end.

 

I could bump my insurance from 1M to 5M for a specific load and if I remember the premium was 5% of the annual per day. This was in 2007 and was an Can origin load to Houston OSOW and I had the load for 5 days and the shipper cut the check.

 

Great to see you on the mend (I hope)

That is the one great place for a Volvo/Mack autoshift as long as you have a light foot on startup.
