Northern Virginia Roll Call

well shit now im going to have to find a way to ket it back to the garage and get it fixed.

 

If you decide to buy one and swap it yourself, let me know. I can give you a hand if needed.

 

how long do u think I can drive it? im leaving the country Saturday. then won't have more than 1 day off before the 17-18 of January.

 

No idea man. If you are gonna keep driving it, keep it full of fluid. Our trucks use dexron III ATF as their power steering fluid.

 

I wish man. the only black one I have seen has been that one a few weeks ago in the 757 for $800

I have $500 right now for one.... or hell... I'd take one that is the color that @Lots2Learn58 has so we can just trade. haha

 

Much needed

 

Shoulda hopped on that blue one in annapolis I posted a few weeks back!

 

I didnt haz the money then since I was still Christmas Shopping / Holiday planning

but yes. I totally agree.

 

yeah it was giving me crap too

man from phone and then at work lol!

 

when would u be free to help me replace it and where at?

 

I have a lot of days off, so if you give me a rough time of when you'd want to do it, I can look at my schedule and give you exact dates. I'm fine with coming to your place to do it, as long as you have a flat surface to work on.

 

well the only problem is I live in Charlottesville in a apartment complex.

 

Ah damn. I mean, we could definitely do it in my driveway, but if there's anything that hinders us from completing it in one day, then your truck will be stuck here. For example, on mine one of the hoses was so rusted it just mangled itself. Luckily I was able to get a new one from Napa the next day.

EDIT: Damn, just realized you're like 2.5 hours away.

 

ya I just called the guy that I was gonna have replace it and he said it would be about 300$ of labor to replace it

 

That's not too bad labor wise. I was quoted $500 which is why I did it myself.

 

total it looks like its gonna be about 550$ after I return the core.

 

Did that labor include an alignment afterwards?

 

nope

 

You'll need an alignment after as well, so if there's anything you want to mess around with on your suspension, now's the time.

 

lol well I was going to put a small spacer on the coil. so I guess nows about as good a time as any.
