Truck Trauma



If you know Jason, you know how much he loves his truck.
You know how well he takes care of his truck.
You know his truck is his baby!
You would then know how much it pained him to see it look like this:




To fix his oil leak, the Ford mechanic had to take out the entire engine to find the source and repair it. (thank goodness for Factory Warranty!) This is the second time they've pulled out the engine to fix a recuring oil leak. This time, the mechanic found the REAL source of the problem- a defect from the factory in the motor block and it needs to be replaced. The engine is currently in hundreds of pieces all over the shop... bolts here, gaskets there... my husband is about to have an anxiety attack! His poor little baby! We're hoping they find all the pieces to the puzzle and put Humpty back together again properly. We've had enough automobile drama lately to last us a long time!

Oh that is so sad. Poor Jason. At least they have found the problem and he can have his baby back in one piece before long. I don't think I've ever seen him keep a truck this long so he must really love it. ;-)

That sucks for Jason...that truck is REALLY nice though, no wonder he loves it so much!

Oh my! At first glace, I thought it was another car accident! Glad to discover it wasn't. Yes, you've had your fair share of auto trauma already.

I am surprised Jason hasn't had a heart attack yet with all the car issues you guys are having. That truck engine is huge by the way, holy cow!!!
