Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Was there a hole in the top?

 

Thank goodness no. But he was a fan of the Pittsburgh "backpages" at one point till they got shut down. Ah crap, I think I just put two and two together...

 

My dads 07 wrangler was terrible towards the end, and it had the dodge death wobble so he couldn't go over bumps at any speed safely. Also had the squeekiest clutch ive ever heard.

 

What has me concerned the most is they obviously had my phone number and in the voicemail they said my name and the date and location of my testing. The call back number is a bit tough to trace back (it's not the same as the NDDOH) but I did find it on a DOH pdf and the hours were listed as Monday through Saturday.

Think I'll skip the gym today just in case.

 

Front U-joint is toast. Just what I wanted to do today

 

I'm going to look on the bright side; it's going to be 2 degrees above freezing in the little workshop.

 

And at least I investigated and now won't worry about the drive shaft falling out of there. Yeah...me thinks those kind of vibrations aren't good for the rest of the drivetrain either.

 

Where's that, don't like button? Hope that's not a indicator of how my U-hoint replacement is going to go down

 

A buddy sent the pic, so luckily not me

 

Snap-Off, must be a harbor freight brand.

 

Off to the auto parts store.

 

HOLY SHIT!

 

My coworker bought one from HF for $27, I don’t know that it would get a 1/4-20 nut off. I said listen to the difference and got the MAC out. He said it’ll work for what I use it for

 

Better write the mileage down and how much gas is in it and take that with you

 

I did many ujoint replacements on my Jeeps usually in the middle of a stream or some trail, friends would always ask me why I’d spend 10k on a set of axles or buy an Atlas II and then buy a $2 ujoint, easy to change and I never worried about breaking the expensive parts when I got funky with the skinny peddle

 

And now you have a Taco and don't have to worry about it.
