New truck one part at a time
Just got our truck out of the garage -- $3350! Had a complete do-over on the brake system after burning out the calipers three times in 3000 miles, front wheel bearings repacked, new tie-rod ends, one new inner tie rod end, complete repair of the differential, complete check of the charging system and glow plugs. Other incidentals were taken care of, making the truck almost like new (as far as the running gear is concerned). This job along with the previous work done on the brakes coming east across the U.S. amounted to right at $6,000. Even with that, our lifestyle is still the best! Would not change it for a stick house where we would be stuck (no pun intended) in one spot with higher living expenses.
