What did you do to your truck today?

[Bernie]

Took mine in for an oil change at Wally World. Can't beat $38 (including tax) for a full oil change and lube on a diesel.

I need to haul about a ton of sand today.

Bernie: sounds like you've had a hectic day. Just look forward to tomorrow. And good idea not to let your wife drive your truck and possibly rip the side open.

Gary: Damn, that really sucks! Every time I hear a ticking sound now I fear the worst after having an allen wrench stuck in my tire (not my truck, on a car).Geoff: Did you somehow break the wiring or connector for that sensor that could be grounding out or something. -- My mom's "check airbag" has come on now too. It better be covered under warranty!!


The truck is sitting all day (for the first time in a while). Rode the bike to run some errands this morning and taking it to work shortly.

Here's the culprit

That sucks. Did they take the tire off the rim and patch the inside, or did they just put a plug in it?

Took the tire off and patched the inside.Cost me $10.00.He said $6.00 but I gave him a ten,he gave the extra four to his tire guy for putting the tire back on the burb.Keep in mind this is one of the shops we deliver to,so he no doubt gave me a price break

Good deal, and I'm glad they patched it right. Plugs just aren't good enough for a puncture like that.

Glad they got it fixed Gary!

Drove it down to the local coffee shop and back home.

So true.We're gonna be putting about 1,500 miles on the Burb in a few weeks and want to feel confident the tires will have no probs

I hate tire plugs.
