The best thing about this post is thinking about all of the dents and scratches you didn't get wheeling it for all of those years. Think about it, you probably have half of the testosterone now! lol

I tried for over a year. He's too busy helping people who didn't help him when he was starting out in the Yota scene :flaming:
Must have called him 20-30 times. Called last weekend unanswered. Called this weekend and he said he was busy trying to sell another engine he just took out of a friends truck and sent me a pic of it on his tractor. I found that very amusing. Offers to help online in forums that are hollow in reality are in fact poppycock

On the other hand a friend who has limited mechanical abilities/tools/time pushed me to have him come help so he didn't need to hit the trails solo. Props to him for driving 4+ hrs and putting in almost 20hrs helping & BS'ing this weekend. His ball busting and help is the only reason she's starting chemo. I said screw last weekend because of rain - he called me a pussy and said he would be at my door lol

What's the story on why the engine failed?

There isn't one. Don't know until I take it out and rip her apart.

I only got one dent in 94k and that's one a buddy spotted me into. Been very lucky.

That does tend to do it. Please tell me there is a video somewhere

Only a vid of it running one last time before I shut it down. Tried to upload it last night, but forumn doesn't like windows and I don't use boobtoob (Utube).

I think it had something to do with a hurricane but I can't recall.

Nah..... just happened the same weekend it hit us. Got kicked out of Ocean City, MD because of it. Spent next week sleeping in it at my moms marina keeping an eye on the docks and boats. If I had left it in the street she would of floated away. Instead I parked in on top of a raised deck to save it. Hindsight being 20/20 not sure I would of saved her.
