Well as some of you know our trailer broke and axle on its way back from Atlanta to be stranded in Wythville Virginia, today we went to get it it was done.
So, in Parkersurg well, I heard a noise, it sounded like a wrist pin, a few big arse hills later and thunk thunk thunk...so we threw a rod, it broke it seems clean , it must still be on the journal, I have good oil pressure and the damm motor is running ace.....the oil looks like glitter but its not running hot just banging like crazy at speed.
So we dropped the trailer at a hotel, rented a car drove back to Akron to pick up a spare tow vehicle, tommorow well go get it, put the "Old Girl" up somewhere for a month or so. Buy another truck (already have a really expensive replacment lined up , the same as I paid for the old girl some almost 3 years ago, $4000......:) But its an 04, so a steal and should the motor die in her shell get a "New Hemi", New Hemi Style.....
But were tired and a little frustrated, but well, not so bad, my Dad was complaining about "Our Luck" and how much more "Hell Take" and I told him, "Dad were probably going to blow another DP motor in short order" his answer ? "That I can handle" lool.....how you get "immune" to things.
BUT Soon some GOOD rods for the DP motors will be approved and we can build the remaining 2 motors.
So tommorow pickup and back home.......
