One problem leads to another.
 
Wow what a day.... Somehow my fuel dampener when out about a month ago and I had to have it fix so I finally scrounge up the extra cash 260 bucks and get it put in today when all of a sudden on my way home from the shop as I pull into my driveway my clutch goes out. Just my luck that as soon as one thing is fixed not ten min later something else breaks. Then I get held late at work for an hour and oh yea I have a Final Exam tomorrow in chemistry. Lets hope tomorrow is better than today was.

What is a "fuel dampener"? And your clutch slave cylinder probably went bad. They put it in the bellhousing, so when it leaks it ruins the clutch as well. Hopefully, it's not that. :raincloud :sad:

Chemistry ? Ouch, Im glad all I have is ME courses and no more hardcore chem again. Took a class about a year ago, a 60% was a solid B......... I guess that is what happens when you have 200ppl in a class.

Its just like the fuel pressure regulator, its like a one way check valve.

Also I just got some quotes and I think it is that slave. So Far we are lookin at 600 to 800 bucks. Not fun. I will keep everyone posted though.

you've got it worse than me, but i broke the drop bracket on my front diff, got a new one.. welded up a plate to reinforce it and that inturn caused me to over extend 2 CV shafts...

then i got that fixed and my last manual hub broke, so i was running around with the front locked up with basically a spool in the front end and that caused this...
Attachment 205356

now that i knew wasnt good for the hub constantly spinning so i got my manual hubs on as fast as i could, well when i was replacing the 3rd cv shaft in a month i noticed that i destroyed the $260 bearing assembly which i just by chance has laying around in my shed.

i feel your pain man, but i haven't had to pay so much, it just gets annoying having to constantly fix **** :puppy_dog

Annoying is somethin but this sucks man I have only had the truck 8 months or so and it doesnt even have 50,000 miles on it. I just feel like these things shouldnt be breaking. But it is what it is and I will have it fixed then it will be like new again and hopefully hopefully hopefully nothing else breaks for a while cuz I did not have the thousand bucks that I am dropping to fix all this crap. Its at the shop now so I will let you all know what I hear
