What did you do to your truck today!

Climbed in and out of the engine compartment about 6-7 times today chasing a pulley alignment problem, and rerouted a vacuum line. tomorrow will be new plugs, then reassembly with a new Harmonic balancer and different water pump pulley.

Why can't anything just be simple and straight forward?

A very typical " fat fingers " mistake ~ look at your key board to see why .

After I had owned one of my trucks for between 1 and 1 1/2 years, I was going through my file on that truck to ensure I had the title, latest insurance documents, etc. Started comparing the insurance card to the title and I figured out the title was literally missing a character. I'm a detail freak, so I still had the original slip when the truck was temp registered in Colorado. Somehow, when the paperwork went to DMV to change over from the Arkansas title to a Colorado title, the Colorado DMV left out a number from the VIN.

Went to the DMV, paperwork in hand, showed them the documentation I had and explained the issue. They said they would pull it up at the Denver office to verify my claim. Received a phone call within a day or so, they said I was right, a new title would be issued, and there would be no charge because it was their error!

Sometimes things actually do work out!!
