Man am i lucky or what!!??
Last week i got the inspection for the registration. The man apreciated the good work and craftsmanship and said:" drive safely and keep that nice truck in good shape!" That was it- no complaining about aluminum rims,lowered suspension,tuned engine that didnīt come original in this truck or the mirrors that are a little tiny for such a big rig! At the time of inspection there was no oil leaking and everything worked fine. Yesterday i went to my friends shop to get the truck back home and the first thing was a drained battery because he forgot to turn of the lights.After we jumpstarted the engine the charginglight came on and stayed on, so i think something is wrong with the alternator or battery. The engine fired right up and ran fine and so we started the 100 mile trip. Half the way we went on the Autobahn (Highway) at an average 70 mph. The last 5 miles i stepped on the gopedal and went about 115 mph when my buddy who was driving behind me noticed some oilfog on his windshield.We stopped at a gasstation and foud out that the oilpangasket wasnīt ok and leaked like crazy.I lost one quart of oil and the whole undercarriage is messed up with oil now! But what the heck----i have the official licenceplate and that means that the truck is streetlegal in Germany!!! This is the best thing i can imagine after 14 years of wrenching,sweating and crying!!! ![]() ![]()
