    THE END!!!

    The driver was a real nice guy.
    He just didn't communicate well.
    He was really stressed and definately had some problems.
    The leasing company of the truck wouldn't approve having the tractor repaired in Wisconsin and they wanted him to drop the trailer and have the tractor towed back to Maryland.
    He ended up catching a cab to a greyhound station, bus ride to a Sheboygan, cab to Penske and then sat and waited for the tractor rental.
    Then 395 miles back to get his trailer and then to me.
    He originally left for a haul Baltimore to Seattle and back, and had now been on the road for 5 weeks.
    He was tired and pretty beat up, emotionally.
    He was really a good dude, just didn't communicate and ignoring things didn't help him.
    I've learned to be more paient and he has learned to communicate.

    I was amazed when I opened the door, the dealership must have had some porters with free time.
    The interior was DETAILED, upholstery, seats were even cleaned, exterior was washed and the bugs, tar and shi** was all removed from the front bumper and grill.
    Looked like someone took a clay bar to it.

    I'm happy again!

    So last night my wife says.
    "Will we ever see you again or do we have to go to the driveway?"
    What do you keep looking at anyway?

    I didn't have to answer

    I gave him a 50 for dinner and some beers.
    He grew up about 1.5 hrs from here, I know the area well and he was heading there to spend the night with his brother.
    Sorry about the pics, can't seem to get them attached properly.
    I'll try again later.

    Pictures came up fine for me.
    Great that you got her back!

    As for me, I just changed her oil. It was the first time since I put the qwik-valve on. Man it was nice not getting all oily. No leaks or anything, It was perfect. I also dropped in a K&N Filter for ****s and giggles.

    Also through on a tape line for an idea of a bumper chop.


    Gonna think about it. Ignore the tap going around to the driver side of the bumper. It needs adjustin'

    Is a little moisture like this normal on the front end? It's only on that side.

    Water will evaporate if it all ways looks wet it's probably some type of oil on there. It could be anything above it dripping down as well.

    The evaporator canister for the A/C is directly above there.... water will drip off of that especially if its really humid out.
