Last night when my bro was driving the uhaul pos truck....every time he hit a bump the truck would go into a fsm......it was going to take uhaul 3 hours to get a tech to look at it......mind you we he wasn't moving a great distance only 15 miles.....he got it to their new house and called uhaul to come pick it up or my bro was going to call a towing company to haul it to a shop.....uhaul had someone there in a half hour and they didn't fix it...only scratched their head.....so the uhaul dud called a tow truck......my bro is going to go raise some cane after he gets stuff in the house......so I went to the shop and hooked up the 1 ton duratrash to one of our 8x24 cargo trailers....took two more loads and we were done......its hard to believe but that thing pulled quite nice and held its own on the hills.....

Btw....I found the issue.....o2 wire melted on the header....it wasn't secured very well...

I just swapped out my alternator for a new high output 200 amp. Pretty easy. Except I had to go to autozone and get the pullys on them switched. The new one was too narrow.

Made some easy money today. Only saw my supervisor once. Had to sell off six inspections and touch up paint bracket and nutplate installations. Breeze of a day.

I ran the crane while the other 5 guys installed the roll rings for SOFI. I was there 3 hours. The boss said just put down 5.
