Sorry not going to make it. I was doing a walk around of my cruiser before I was gonna leave and noticed a bunch of grease on the drivers side A arms. Pull the tire and grease is everywhere along with a torn cv boot. So I'm gonna start on pulling the axle tonight.... joy. Looks like you guys are having fun.
Good thing you did a walk around a found that in your driveway rather then on the trail.

Ya, it's just kind of annoying. I was gonna go on this trip, and one next weekend to Red Rocks, and then in a few weeks Mojave Rd. Now I have to scramble to get parts and find time to do the repair, or pay a shop some outrageous amount.

I plan on doing a full write-up eventually but thought I would throw up a few pics..

Still waiting...... Not the best way to end the trip....
But... The dealership that did the work is sending a tow truck to pick me up and giving me a rental..... Glad it happened here in Pasadena vs in the middle of nowhere

It could be worse. Looks like you managed to get off the freeway which is important with kids in tow. Keep me updated and let me know what you get home.Still waiting...... Not the best way to end the trip....

Last I heard about 5pm he was catching a ride with the tow truck. As of now he is getting a ride home from the dealer.

Just got home..... Got to the dealer around 645 and they were going to loan me a brand new platinum F150... I was soo stoked and then I couldn't find my drivers license so I had to get a ride home hahaha. What a day.

Glad to hear you made it home. Remember it always can be worse. Hopefully the dealer will warranty their repair work.
How did you truck turn out? Did they get everything straightened out?

Yah I picked it up this past Wed. Looks like it was the water pump. It was covered on my extended warranty so all I had to do was pay my deductible. And..... They didn't charge me for the tow..... If anyone is looking for a great Ford dealer definitely check our Vista ford in oxnard. It's where I purchased the truck and it's the only place I will take my truck even though it's so far from my home....

He started gushing coolant on the way home. All is good now as far as I know.
