The Circuit Rider Update

Last year when we held our Mid Ohio Truck meet at the Vintage Truck Show (This year it will be Aug 4th at Yellow Springs Ohio so...come join us for the fun) ... when at the hotel I saw aluminum shavings coming from the right front wheel (TT D) . Apparently I miscalculated my BS thus rubbing issues. Then Nathan (my son) pointed out that 3 of the 5 lug nuts were missing. Not a good thing. So I got new lug nuts installed. (I guess its a good idea to always check the torq of the lug nuts every 200-300 miles).

Then on the way home we got into a rain storm and the front windshield leaked in buckets. Not good.

Fast forward...I parked the truck for a while and now I am back getting her fixed up. The front wheel is compromised so it will take two new front wwheels due to a miscalculation on the BS, again my mistake plus I will need to get the correct BS.

Also...the cruise control...when it is set and you hit the break it doesn't shut off...not good. These trucks will try one's patience.

Other wise life is good.
