Thought of the day.

I got an intersting gift today, a coffee cup from
Ukraine, sent by one of Alionas best friends
this is a no tip cup / no spill.
I have never seen anything like it.
Sticks to table and won't tip, won't release until you
lift handle. Very cool,

Another Dodge bites the dust.30 kms outside of Edmundston today the Ram started to vibrate bad and by the time I started to pull over to the side of the road there were drive shafts bearings and half a transfer case all over the road.Travelling back to Moncton by Uhaul in the morning.At least they are Fords.

 

[67 AGAIN]

Wow!
Was that your truck Dave or a rental?

 

[SilverGT]

It belongs to Ambulance New Brunswick.I had a Paramedic supervisor pick me and the trailer up and the poor truck was towed to the Dodge dealer.I am thinking of maybe coming up next week with a car trailer and towing it back to Moncton.
Update it won't fit on a uhaul car carrier.

 

[SilverGT]

Still haven't made it home.Waiting for coast tire in Fredericton to show up.Talk about the trip from heck.

 

[67 AGAIN]

Trip from “heck”!
Your exercise in self restraint is commendable.
Hang in there.
We’re with you in spirit.
At least, it looks like good weather where you are.

 

[Ohtobbad]

Where is Heck? I have never heard of the place

Where is Heck? I have never heard of the place

Very close to the place with the double hockey sticks ! Near jeopardy

 

[SilverGT]

The police were nice enough to pull us over and point out we needed a new tire.2 and a half hours later we were back on the road and home around 6pm.Worked 22 hours in two days and back out first thing Tuesday morning.

 

[67 AGAIN]

Yah, but I’m sure that you’re getting some overtime for that, right? ?

 

[SilverGT]

No overtime just expenses paid.

 

[67 AGAIN]

So you bank the extra time?

Found the cause of the transfer case failure.

• Problem Description​

  The transfer case in the Dodge Ram 2500 has multiple gear ratios, which can be selected by moving the switch in the cabin to 2Hi, 4Hi, or 4Lo. It has been known to shift to 4Lo without warning, at any speed, and whether the vehicle is on or off. If this occurs at highway speeds, the result can be catastrophic failure of the transfer case.
  This is caused by a faulty four wheel drive shift motor, selector switch (in the cab) or the wiring between the two. The most common cause is the transfer case switch, which is an electric motor mounted on the transfer case.
  To correct the issue, inspect the wiring to the transfer case switch motor for damage, and replace the shift motor if needed. Disconnecting power to the shift motor will lock the transfer case in its current setting.
