my truck has been getting a vibration in it, so i figured i better look at it. so last week i replaced all 4 ball joints and universals. needed replaced anyways. vibration was still there. went for tire balancing, he said the tires were out of round and that was the cause, kinda sucked because they were still in decent condition. put four new tires on it. still there. so i figured it had to be the driveshaft. unbolted it, but it still was rusted in bad. so i got in the truck to put it in gear to break it free. fired it up. stood on the break pedal to keep tires from spinning and my foot went to the floor! blew a friggin brake line. so i finally got the driveshaft out and to the driveshaft shop. he called me this morning to tell me that it was rusted so severe that it was too unsafe to balance it, let alone drive it. so after all day trying to find a shaft, and can't get one till monday, i had to throw in the towel. i will miss my first shootout since i started going in 2004

Well 27 hrs later 4 flights and 2 car rides I made it home. Alarm went off 5 hrs later and here I sit get my chit ready to meet up with David this morning. Hope everyone has a good journey see yall this afternoon.
Unfortunately, I'll be wrenching on my car tomorrow at the hotel as I found a pretty significant fuel leak that wasn't there before I put the blower on the car. The leak is somewhere near the coil pack, but definitely not any of the injectors. I'm hoping the AN fitting is a little loose. Sadly I will have to remove my upper IC tube and re-seal it at the SC top and IC with trusty orange RTV....yes, still rocking the stock tubes.
