What did you do today not on your truck...

[Boog]

The wife and I spent the weekend in south La visiting our daughter. We were in the Yukon. Yesterday the trans shifter cable popped off the gear lever on the trans and I used some zip ties to get our daughters home. I went to O'Reillys and picked up a new bushing/keeper for it and installed it this morning before heading out coming home. Just over half way home we stopped for gas and food and it popped off again leaving the truck in neutral. I pushed it away from the fuel pump and slid under it to try to zip tie it again but it was too freakin hot to touch so I know they wouldn't stay on long. So I did what any gear head worth his salt would do and grabbed a clothes hanger and cut a piece to wrap around the deal to get us home. I don't carry bailing wire. but the coat hanger got us home. I'll make a better fix tomorrow when the thing has fully cooled off.
