After just 3 1/2 hours of sleep, I left for work this morning in our 1979 F150, Wild Bill.
If you have ever driven an old pickup, you know that the steering isn’t very tight. It’s more like steering a boat on the water…you just try to keep it going in the right direction. Given my sleep deprived state, it felt like a continuation of last night’s drive. Is it ever going to end?
I took Wild Bill because my wife took the Super Crew to get new tires put on first thing this morning. After we put 2 new tires on the rear, last night’s noise still persisted.
The mechanic did some further investigation and called me to relay the bad news…
The differential (rear end) is bad! OUCH!!! That is MAJOR surgery!!!
…well north of $1,000!
So much for getting new brakes this week!
