San Antonio

Lucky me for letting the wife run here quick errands before I took the car. Sat down to an email coming in that my Valero card got skimmed, and someone in North Austin/Round Rock is filling up a fleet of thirsty diesels to the tune of over $500 yesterday and today. Add "visit Police Station" to the errand list! The card is two weeks old. Past two months, replaced wife's card once, and mine twice - though no transactions were reported. Another new one on the way. And off I go, finally.

 

Needle bearing?

Sounds like it came from under my feet, not to the left of them. It's intermittent, I tried a few more times to get it and didn't. Dunno how well the mic picked it up but it's obvious in the cab.

 

That's no bueno, sorry Kurt

 

Oh dang, hope they get it all sorted out. Someone got my card info not too long ago and charged a bunch of crap to my account. The bank took care of it pretty quickly, within a few days if I remember correctly.

 

Got my recruiting battalion today. Looks like I'm headed north.

Headed waaaaayyy north.

 

Morning gents! Little late popping in here today

 

North to Alaska?

 

Hey Matt I got my old rims for grabs you interested? Stupid cheap with tpms on them no tires an a few scratches?
I know you like stock piling 3rd gen sporties.

 

Few months to slow.
Already picked up a set from @RockHed.

What'd you get to replace them?

 

Ok cool maybe for matching spares an future trailer build perhaps

 

Damn.. really sorry to hear this buddy. Hope Chris can get ya fixed up so you can wheel that beast!

 

I have an extra set already.
8 wheels.
4 on truck
4 in garage

Any more and I'll have to file for a business license.

 

What if I throw some tires on in a few weeks

 

Looks like I’m picking up a stock 3rd from him this afternoon. Truck should be up and running by tomorrow

 

That's great! Was this all out of the blue, or have you ever had issues with your rear end before? this has me rethinking 35s

 

I'm going to Jambo next week

 

Never had issues with it. That’s why I was so upset because it happened out of nowhere. I’m always careful wheeling of course too holding a foot on a light brake when I think the wheels are gonna let loose. I’m thinking it’s from my buddy backing my boat trailer in and pulling it out off the ramp in 2wd not knowing any better. Of course I’m not blaming him, shit, I’m running 35s for crying out loud. He did tell me today he heard some popping going on when he did it so... I’m thinking that’s what happens when your trying to pull a 5500lb load out of a wet boat ramp in 2wd. Not to mention about 6 people in the boat too.

 

Getting all the days off isn't going to happen. I have to work Thursday in Austin for sure but I should be able to leave after 6 from there.

 

Well. Upon further inspection looks like it’s only the spider gears that decided to give up. R&P still look good which is surprising to me feeling the jolting and skipping it was doing

 

Where too?
