From another episode of :sux2bu: [2Bme anyway] and feeling :ANGRY_~317: and dreading another bout of :tragedy::drama:
uppy_dog_eyes: -to a very happy ending.:banana::hurray:
When I dropped the truck off, Kevin said he'd try to have it done by Tuesday. I said to take his time; I was chained to a desk this week and that I knew he was shoehorning me in to a full schedule of customers in line. So he said Wednesday at the latest then... No problem.
So yesterday (Wed), anxious to check without nagging, I was 1/2 mile from doing a quick drive past the shop when he called to say the truck was done, driven, inspected, double checked etc. so come pick it up.:agreed:
I said, "Out of morbid curiosity, do you have the new diff's shipping tag." Yes he did and on this one, under description was the magic number: 3.73.
Here's the old one. "4.11"
I offered to pay him at least something for his labor and the only thing he would accept was full responsibility, my thanks and the gear oil I had put in the cab when dropping it off. Amazing.
An awesome experience all the way around. I got to learn another lesson on truck maintenance etc. and still have the job done by adults. Only cost to me was to exercise patience, some extra gear oil and time. Doesn't get much better than that when things go horribly wrong.:cheers2:
So, again, if you're having drive-train issues in Utah county, call Gears in north Lehi, right off exit 280.:thumbsup:
