Alberta October Trail Ride

[Khamul]

Okay, time for a role call;



So far we have:



Dave

Karl

Nick

Gary

Brian

Jared



Anyone Else? Steve emailed me as I had to bug him, but I guess he's been super busy with work - I'll email again to see if we can get him out.



Talking with Rick over at E-Mortal today as I had to get my new shock replaced, I guess he rolled his Toxic TJ at a monster truck ralley so it was a write off, He's ordering a new jeep and will of course make it the Cat's meow so I told him to come out with us once he's done... be nice to have a master mechanic with us for sure!!! Sounds likie he's game!!! Booyahh!!!!

That's ok.... I'm still doing repairs from my run on Saturday....

[s0ulst3al3r]

why what happen Dave ?

Well, if I can't get to the bottom of my fuel problems before the 23rd I will probably have to sit this one out <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... _e_sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':sad:' />



Some guys on Club Hummer advised me to check out the fuel pump ground wires to see if they have come loose or are not well grounded. A good start I guess, but failing that I don't know what I am going to do... maybe just see if I can find somebody to replace the fuel pump on my own dollar.

I have to remove the under body armour and bend it back into shape again so no big deal.. when my front end was sunk, having the body on the ground bend the protective cage behind the skid plate up and is hitting the exhaust pipe now. I managed to raise the exhaust pipe a bit to give more clearance but I still have the remove the cage and figure a way to bend the bars back.

Still not sure how I'm going to do that but I'm sure I'll figure something out..



Nick - we can always toe you back to highway 40 that way they'll have quite a tow bill for bringing her back to Shaw... just don't get her covered in mud...

We can use my winch to straighten it out if you want, it has as much power as any frame puller



That is the issue, if I take it and get it covered in mud... then it breaks (which I am 100% sure will happen as the truck idles like a POS right now) then Shaw will grill me.



You know what they wrote on my report "Noticed an aftermarket relay installed by the battery"... seriously, what the hell does that have to do with the fuel pump <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... ey-055.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':curse:' />

[Khamul]

Good idea, but I don;t really want to flip me Humma on it's side to do that... LOL



I also wrecked the ball joint - thankfully covered under warranty.... may have been incorrectly installed but I dunno...



I should be able to pull it off and simply drive over it to straighten it out.... sounds simple so of course it won't work...

[Sugarphreak]

If you need any help let me know! I have a ton of tools I can bring over to give you a hand with.





I was looking through some of the pictures from our meet & greet last year where we took the backway through to Canmore... I kind of want to do that route again this year once there is some snow on the ground.



On that note I think my truck is working properly again so I am in again for the 23rd. I think Ferdy is out, he has some relatives coming into town on that weekend.





Has anybody heard or seen Steve lately. I kind of miss having him on our trips <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... #>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />

[Khamul]

I emailed Steve a few weeks ago and he just said that he was very busy with work and I haven't heard from him since... I'll try him again and see if he is coming on the 23rd...



So me Humma is in the driveway with the front end taken apart again.... these calipre I got from Bowness Auto are garbage! I was getting brake squeal do I decided to pull off those supposed Wagner Thermo quiet pads as they are noisier than hell, the passenger side calipre freakin fell apart after I pulled it off the rotor... Man was I pissed. The drivers side was defective so I already had a replacement I had just picked up fro that side but decdided to start on the passenger and luckily I did. So I returned the new one - will get a new pair from Nappa tomorrow I hope and redo them and hopefully get my money back from Bowness.



Not buying parts from there from now on....
