Beer 30

Well, thought I'd take the truck for a drive and was doing well when "BOOM!!!!". I say boom only because of the quantity rather than magnitude of crap that happened. A/C and accessories drive belts said goodbye to the world. Engine started smoking so I checked the scavenge pump, wasn't turning. No power steering, engine heating up and oil building up in the exhaust turbine I limped it home. The gears in the Exa-Pump locked up so I need to get them replaced or the whole pump replaced. Had to buy a new A/C belt since I couldn't find it. The accessories belt was on the road so I picked it up and put it back on.

Screw it, doing nothing with the truck tonight since the car gods told me "NO". Time for a Rahr Iron Thistle. I love my kegerator. :)

Daaaang, that sucks

This truck has fought you tooth and nail. I'd be emptying that keg quite a few times over

I will drink one with ya. Shitty that it happens, but beer makes better.

dang Red that sux

sucks to hear greg

Sucks man, hope you get it fixed soon. Ive heard those Exa-pumps lock up a lot. When I read the title I though this thread was going to be about the beer, beer 30 lol. We call it purple musk

Man that sucks Greg, hope you get it fixed up soon!

dang greg, sorry to hear that man, and right before the shootout. Hopefully you can get it fixed without to much headache.

Good luck to you, it always sucks to break something. Hope the car gods smile on you soon!

sorry to hear you're having more issues with the truck, but Im sure you'll have it sorted in no time

thats one reason i got away from the sts kit greg...to much crap can go wrong...good luck getting it back together

Greg where's some recent pics of your truck? Do you ever go to Sanger anymore and run

Luckily it was nothing more than a set of gears for the exapump($50) and an A/C belt($20). Belt is going to be likely needing a Katech tensioner to keep it from flying off again.

Haven't been to Northstar in a while. I know, I've been lame. Last time there too many people showed up and I got about 4 runs in. They were trying to do some saturday money races on a Friday. Had I known that I would have stayed home. My tune is so far off right now because my FAST WB was sending crap data to Allen and now my tune is needing severe therapy. LOL

man, your truck has been giving you hell. next time you go there hit me up. id love to see your truck run. i won't even bother lol id look like a turtle in comparison
