don't drive thru water...

Rhotpursuit · 11-15-2008, 09:00 PM

Had a little moisture overload in East Lewis County where I work every day. The pics tell the story..

There is a road under here...

This guy had to swim to dry ground...water was much deeper...

The road on the left was about an 1/8 mile detour...

The water had receded several feet when I took these pics.

yellownxrated · 11-18-2008, 09:25 PM

wait a sec... after looking at those pictures... you got shots from both sides, meaning you drove around, correct? So that means there was a route around that shitty sink hole, and that dopey ass log hauler drove through the middle. Really?

No roadside assistance..

That is my delevery vehicle. I have an extremely remote area...yesterday I did 30 stops 344 miles. Keep after them about your app..

Just noticed you're an ASE...apply for a mechanics position.

circa · 11-20-2008, 02:24 AM

damn i would love to do that

I've never seen anything other than the freightliner/dodge sprinter vans used by Fedex around here. I still see the box vans from time to time. They probbably have some f-250's running around somewhere.

There are only 2 F250's in the district...I've had both of them. Fist truck I had out here was a new(at the time) GMC Safari. 4-5 years and 350K later they crushed it and got me this POS. I'd much rather have the Safari. I'm driving a Sprinter right now (bigger POS than the Ford) ...aforementioned POS ate a rocker at 162K. 6 frickin weeks and it's still not back...hurry up and apply for mechanics position...

What was that F-250 running? A 4.6, 5.4, or was it a diesel?

Don't those sprinters have 4 cylinder turbo diesels?

its been 6 weeks and they haven't got that shit fixed yet? damn. i figured a fleet would put in a Ford reman 5.4 longblock with the 75,000 mile warranty and have that bitch back on the road in 2 days.

There were some sort of timing issues...something about a tone wheel??...beats me. Snows a comin'...better get it back soon.

tone wheel on the front end of the crankshaft. its what the crank shaft sensor uses to determine where the crank is so the pcm knows when to fire the injectors. jasper = fail
