The brakes on the Beast are fine! No costly repair! Merely the belt for the vacuum thingie (it’s a diesel and they have interesting bits) needed replacement. So relieved! The mechanic did ask how I managed to stop it…made me laugh. A one-ton with a heavy load like the build definitely has momentum. I have enough saved up to pay to have the problem fuel pumped out of the rear tank (water in the diesel turned out to be the cause of the horrible running and stalling) which covers all the mechanical problems. Thinking I should be knocking on wood or something for saying that. I celebrated by bleaching my hair again, in preparation for going lavender.
He also asked if I am building a camper or Tiny House. The other workers wanted to know. I also had a girl I’d met previously follow me the other day to chat about something ~ I cannot be invisible in this rig!
The picture here is the Original Oliver. He’s gone now but will never be forgotten. Best damn cat I’ve ever known.
My best buddy Oliver, may he rest in peace. Here, he’s hanging out with me while I vacuum out a truck I used to own. He was afraid of nothing.
Anyway, good news should be shared. 🙂
Wonderful news about the brake problem. No need to drain the gas just add Sea Foam to the gas and it will be fine. Ask them at a place like O’Riley’s but there is something that you ad to the gas and it takes out the water no need to drain it. Saves a lot of headache. You are on the right track keep going.
Hi Diane,
That won’t work for this issue. Too much water in the diesel. Trust me, I wanted to!
