Somebody... won't say any names, misquoted to me on how much it would cost to fix the truck as well as the wrong parts..
Never trust a woman to relay a message about automotives to you...
My front drive shaft is broken, yes, but it's not that big of a deal...
IF I agree to do other work to the truck the mechanic will get me the new shaft and install it...
The other problems with the truck, which I had a sneaky feeling about anyway...
Ball Joints...
Tie rod ends...
Emergency brake cable...
big whoop....
One I didn't expect at all was the brakes... Apparently NY has been cutting down on people for using brake line compression fitting... I used 4 or 5 of them...wtf? then why are brake line comrpession fittings even sold in NY?
Bullshit if you ask me...
Since I have my kids full time, and it's summer, I don't have alot of time to mess with the truck right now, so I am allowing the shop to do that work... ALL but the replacement of the fittings..
I will be replacing the lines myself..
So, that was our agreement, and he will call tonight with an estimate... I have to buy all the parts at the place of my choosing, though. All except the drive shaft..
This truck better run 100 years or more, I swear...
