Our camping truck the Riverpig may be dead ,
Any body know any thing about Deisel engines , spec about piston rings ??? So the Pig is dead , $4-6000 for a new engine , haveing it towed back here so we can figuer out if we want to part it out or scrap it . FUUUUUUUCK !!!! |
Sorry, Zippy. That sucks.
|
Yeppers , im here trying to figure up the time and effort of dissembling the beast and Craigslisting various parts or just towing it to the salvage yard
|
Crap, pretty pricey fix.
|
KBB value on the truck best case ( witch this truck aint ) is $3500 ,
the $4-6k is parts Only then a few Hundred to install , Lets see i see local Craigs list prices for the utility bed around $800 , and a call to a Local scrap dude said $5-600 , Hmmmmm ,,,,,,, |
do not put a $5000 motor in a $3000 truck.

Might be worth it to put your bed on a beater?

Stuck in Midway airport for the next 5 1/2 hours! :eek:
Southwest has bailed, no available plane ... now daughter and I will miss the campfire dinner tonight. No earlier available flights and my checked bag (has sleeping bag etc) won't get to Denver until 6:15 anyway. Well, it is what it is. Eating calamari and trying out a weird cocktail. :D Maybe if I have two cocktails, they'll find a plane for us sooner ... ps sorry to hear about your truck, Zippy. That sucks. |

If this were ebay, I'd tell you to look at the completed auctions to see what they sold for. |
has anyone ever heard of a father competing with his daughter(s) as though they are his sons? My father does this. Has always done it.
On our recent trip to Maine he got pissed that my sister and I could read a map. And road signs. You know, the way you do. He flipped out in the car, ordered me to pull over (on the Me turnpike) and when I didn't immediately pull over (where was I to pull over on the turnpike???) he hit me. While I was driving 80 mph DOWN THE TURNPIKE. I can't figure this guy out and I've known him for 48 years. Does anyone else have a father like this? |
Old men are expected to get crotchety, especially when they sense their own mental faculties declining and don't want to admit it.
Old men do not get to hit people. Has he always hit you? |
Yeah, I'm his whipping girl.
He was really mad at my little sis who was navigating while I drove but he hit me, ostensibly b/c I wouldn't pull over the second he commanded me to. I realize old men get crotchety as their mental faculties decline but he's always been a bully and he particularly hates me. He has always believed in his own divinity, his "superior" intellect, his "Keen engineering mind," (Said without a hint of irony or humor). When I was a little girl learning math he would "teach" me math by doing certain processes in his mind without explaining them and I would be baffled as to how he came up with the answer and not understand and he would laugh at me and just say that he was much, much smarter than me. Of course he was - I was seven years old!! He bullied me my whole life - and he's doing it even now. My mother does what she does best - she pretends nothing is happening. She's the definition of Helpless. He's in complete denial about his decline. He THINKS he's as sharp as he ever was and he's soooooooo not. His memory goes back about ten minutes while my mom's goes back about two min. so he thinks he's okay. It's a good thing my family never owned any guns. We'd all be dead. |
