Left two big black streaks in the road when I took off from a red light today.

Drove it to work...

Then drove the work truck 720 miles... Which is limited to 63 MPH.
And is so gutless that when loaded it slows down to 30 MPH on hills.

Why buy new when you can restore?

FFUUU Just got home and I am takin the 400 back to the shop. The parking brake hardly works and its not like I can just leave it in park either. :(
Hmmm.....Did they mess with the adjuster at all? 1st gear should hold the truck just fine on level/semi-level ground, but it won't do a thing on a hill. I usually just leave mine in 1st unless I'm on an incline.


Drove it.
Figured out that the driver's side seal on the front diff is leaking on the S10. :frustration: I know the smell of gear oil all too well. :facepalm:
Also, the starter solenoid on my Honda might be what's bad (its external). It just sits there and clicks.

Also found out that AdvanceAuto has DupliColor cans for $12 for 2 (save $1.40 total). I'll probably get some for painting the tailgate and a few spots on the S10; probably need at least 4 cans. :rolleyes:

Yeah, they guy said he forgot to re-adjust it. He apologized and fixed it. All good now. :thumbs:
