Another one bites the dust...

A shaft or flexplate let go this morning...

8 am I 84 west near Meridian.

If anyone wants to go steal my truck...its in the Home Depot parking lot.

Angry angry angry...

What were you doing when she let go?

cquestad

I think it broke a day ago...or almost broke doing 10 or so 70-120mph blasts on the interstate tuning.

I tired to drive it to work today...sounded like little midgets with a ball peen hammer... but still drove ok while babied. I actually thought it was an engine or electronics problem...like stuck on max timing...till the pop during a slight accelleration on the interstate.

I then had NO connection between RPMs and MPH. lol.

Coasted over...stop...bang clang bang clang. Shut it down...waited for a tow.

Nathan ran over since it was near his house and towed me up the ramp and into Home Depot.

Can we start a rescue fund for me...I am having enough money problems with a few legal challenges at the moment.

ATS is going to love my next phone call.

I have broken far too much too many times for anything to have a warrenty.

Well I guess the good news is you got some good help. And your truck is out of the way. Good luck, hope its something simple. Rye.

that really stinks, sorry for your troubles

cquestad

If the word simple only had anything to do with connecting 800 hp to the ground...LOL

Sorry to hear about the trouble...If you were within a 100 miles I could go pick you up with my gooseneck...

cquestad

Thanks...

My bro will be back from SLC with the trailer and chassis cab by 4.

I will go get er' then.

tritont

sorry to hear about the trouble. I've sure been there and not close to home or friends !! Mine had the bolts back out of the FP. Made a mess of the crank shaft threads !

Is this something to be said for ATS and their products ? Three times is a bit much.

rustyshakelford

your saga is starting to parallel ole phil's problems that he was having!

has anyone seen from him lately?

OT-OF-Here

So it was an ATS flex plate? Billet? I haven't read about any problems with them.
