Few more weeks till the truck arrives.

You ordered a new one or something?

You ordered a new one or something?

Yeah. Not ideal but the used prices are more than new. I'm not paying the same price as new for a 2017 with 50k miles

Welp. It's the tyrolsport radiator leaking from the endtanks. Sigh.

Put a resonator delete on, barely changed the sound at all, pretty disappointed lol. $130 to save about 5 pounds

Should be simple to weld, hopefully?

Yeah, still a pain to pull it though.

 

[jay745]

Well, I emailed tyrolsport and from the first communication it appears they are going to stand behind it and send me a new radiator. Crossing my fingers they pull through on that

Glad to hear they’re standing behind their product.

I'm pissed at a buddy of mine...hes moving to Knoxville and everything was all set for me to buy his trailer. $2k - 16 foot dovetail with 400 miles on it and weighs 1600 pounds. Literally perfect. We made this deal more than 3 months ago, said he needed to tow his car to Knoxville then was coming back to Chicago and was going to drop it off. Well he moved and then sends me a message saying he's not coming back to Chicago. Wtf.

Sheesh. What good "friends" I have

hopefully you can find another trailer for a fair price. can't imagine asking price on such a thing these days.

It's not looking good. Everything is in the 4-5k range

Yeah I hope so. It's disappointing, I was planning a trip to barber motorsports in October but without a trailer I'm not going.

Why not rent a trailer from U-Haul?

^ this. That's what I've been doing in the interim. $50/day. They hook it up for you and off you go.
