So shrink wrapped my boat over the weekend. Get a call at 5 am from my driver that he's hooked up and on his way to Miami (from ohio). Hour later get a call "Houston we have a problem" Well on my brand new trailer one of the brackets that holds the breaking system on the back right wheel was loose and broke off getting lodged in the tires rim causing it to lock up. So now one hour into trip we already have one failure and delayed 3 hours. However... On the road again...
Will keep everyone posted on the next crazy thing to occur.

11-03-2008 07:42 PMWell............ Just got the "Houston we have a problem" Again...
They heard squealing then decided to go to the nearest ford dealer. Lucky the mechanics are willing to work late to fix the truck. I guess they burnt up the turbo.

11-03-2008 08:57 PMReally? that sucks... I have not seen too many powerstrokes burning up a turbo, make sure they check oil flow to it! Originally Posted by BraceYourself

11-03-2008 09:02 PMFrom what I've researched it's one of the most common problems with the engine. At this point the old turbo is out and they are finishing up putting it all back together. They found a huge ford dealership and the mechanic was litterally driving off the lot for home. My buddy pleaded his case and pulled out some benjamins. Originally Posted by FULL FORCE

11-03-2008 09:10 PMShould of known it was going to be quite the day...
Saturday we had our "team dinner" and one of the guys on the trip got overly drunk, pissed on the floor in my condo, and ended up nearly naked.
What a start to the adventure...
