Not the way you want to go home (pics)
Went to my first auto-x to watch my son drive. I did not take the truck on the course, even though it looks like I probably did! The truck was having electrical problems. So this is how I went home. These are my first pictures posted on the forum.
     I guess everyone sees where my screen name comes from. Last edited by slugish; 06-10-2007 at 09:37 PM. |

Re: Not the way you want to go home (pics)
Well, It's definitely slugish on the back of that tow truck. But a sweet looking ride none the less....
 I was looking to see a burnt out truck....LOL

Re: Not the way you want to go home (pics)
Why is this the first time we are seeing pictures?!?!
Is that the fan I see through the grill? How does that work?

Re: Not the way you want to go home (pics)
Nice truck!
You should do a search on flex-fans on the board. Lots of scary stories!!! The lucky people only had to replace a fan. The semi-lucky had to repair a hole in the hood. The unlucky ones made an unexpected trip to the ER.

That said I wouldn't run a flex fan on a high-revv daily driver, but on a show truck that sees the road once in a blue moon a good flex fan can last quite a while.
