Yeah, I got cut off and brake-checked in a heavy downpour on the highway. My clevis tab punched a hole in her Tahoe's bumper.

Oh. Ok. So this is a check from your insurance company lol. I remember reading this now. You were in Cleveland or something. Indian ***** in a tahoe... its all cominng back now.


Today, I popped the hood on the DD, checked the overflow. It's still full. But its also full of gunk again. I don't understand how the fluid in the radiator stays so clean yet the overflow is full of gunk and grime. I also peeled off the spectre and summit racing decals from the hood. Got tired of looking at them.

Replaced my power steering return line. I knew one of the two, high pressure or return, was leaking. I removed the air box and as I put a wrench toward the lines I bumped the return line and it broke off clean. Started puking fluid everywhere. I got a new one from NAPA and used a flare crow foot wrench to put it back on. Good as new.

Zeroed in on the source of my newest noise. T-case is making a hella racket while in motion, like the chain is dragging on the pan.

Gotta check the fluid lvl tomorrow, and possibly tear it apart to see what's going on in there.
