Title: Damage from long weekend.
Post by: yjpaul on October 10, 2005, 11:08:01 PM
Well, went out to mclean sunday and monday.  Sunday was fine, just a ripped off fender flare.  Monday wasnt as smooth.  Broke rear driveshaft ujoint on rear diff yoke, and drove home in front wheel drive.  Coated the clutch in crap i guess, because it kept slipping while in gear on the way home.  Get home, and see ALOT of crap dripping from the rear of my truck.  I thought maybe just some water and junk that stuck and is now dripping off.  Come back 2 hours later and see that the puddle has not dried up, and has infact become a giant puddle.  I go up to it, lay my hand in it and smell.  T'was Gasoline.  Im in the process of lowering my tank and finding the damage i did to it.  Surprised though because i dont really remember any hard slams, and it doesnt look to beat up.  This blows.
