Ugh Picked up the trailer, but there is a short in the running lights. Keeps blowing the truck fuse. Faster to just rewire the whole thing then play find the short.

Ugh... PITA.

We made it to the Wal-Mart parking lot in Nutley Idaho. 625 miles today, 415 tomorrow. We would have made it further, but we had to stop at Lea Schwab twice. Once to get a tire to fix the flat from yesterday and then another 200 miles down the road Phil noticed the trailer vibrating. Turned out to be a separating belt making the tire oval instead of round. This happened to one of the other tires about 6 months ago. I didn't want to stop at another Lea Schwab, so I had them replace the last two of that crap brand tire.

See yall tomorrow! Unfortunately Mad Max won't make it, going to just have to drive the Bull Horns on down un-trailered.

Anyone know who the cheapest hourly rate shop is in town?? I really don't want to have to pull this 650lb tranny out in the dirt. Throw out bearing started coming apart as we were coming into town.

Do you need me to bring my transmission jack?

 

[Birdy]

Do you need me to bring my transmission jack?

Not sure if I want to waste a day doing it or not. I know the flywheel needs turned too it's been chattering when hot since the day I bought it. I'm thinking if a shop would do 3 or 4 hours labor on it, I would just let them. Do you know book time on a 6 speed deisel 2 wheel drive 01 ram?

[Birdy]

[Birdy]

Currently we are in Price grabbing a bite to eat. Should be at camp by 4 or sooner

 

[Stic-o]

All loaded up

 

[RockRanger]

The load on the trailer looks to be a bit to far forward. Might want to move it back.
