Ranger down again
Update 1/3/08:
Got it back today, broke both rear lines. Plus it needed another tie rod end, because of hitting the snowbank. Good thing is I got a much needed alignment. lol
Well this time I lost the brakes. Somehow I didn't hit anything more than a snowbank. lol
Pedal had pressure and then goes to the floor, don't know where it's leaking from can't tell from all the snow and slush under the truck. Worst part I was 15 miles in the middle of nowhere when it happened. Limped it to a gas station added more break fluid and drove it back to the dealership. They can't look at it till at least tomorrow afternoon.
When I get it back I'm striping it and trading it in, I've had too many problems with this truck I'm fed up.

well not so much when i started lifting it, more when i did the SAS, but its to be expected until you get all the bugs worked out, you probably think whats taking so long right? lol well i try stuff all the time to see the effects, then in the middle of it something goes wrong like a steering shaft or a bent bracket etc...

Here's hoping transmission number 3 holds up to the abuse it saw today.
Hopefully it's a cheap fix but I'm just happy I didn't hit anyone, just an innocent snowbank.
