Kinda Funny

[Matt In Oklahoma]

Went out the other day and had a spot on the driveway, weird. Looked around and found nothing coming from the old truck. A few days go by and today I leave work and there is a puddle. ahh poo
Well i start looking around and find this oil on my inner wheel well and fender.


hmm assuming the worst it looks like i got a broken brake line. Well i go to work on the 150 degree asphalt trying to to find it, nothing. hmm not on my tire either, weird, not the hubs, not the greased areas, hmm
Well i start checkin hoses and cylinders n such and after 15 minutes, nothing
Totally confused i even check my oil, a little low but not bad, maybe 1/4 a qt of oi.....

Then it hits me
Every since i can remember I have carried a qt of oil and a qt of transmission fluid under the hood of my vehicle. Ya know just in case



The 112-113 degree heat has taken its toll on the plastic bottle and opened a pinhole in it where it leaked down the inner fender. So almost 1/2 hr later i feel like a dummy but relieved LOL
My "prep" got me :confused:

At least it was a cheap fix....chuckle...

What kind of truck do you have, Matt?

Later this year I'm selling my Mountaineer and buying an old pickup (70s or earlier) or something from Camo Corner west of Stillwater . Found a really slick 1970 C20 on craiglist this evening but not ready to buy yet.

I was riding my ATV out across the pasture the other day and started hearing a steady squeak squeak squeak. Got off and looked it over, couldn't find anything. Got back on and took off. In a little while it started again. Couldn't find anything again. Started off again, it started again. Got off looked for anything, not even a limb was caught under it. Nothing. While I was standing there thinking - started hearing it again! Damn thing wasn't even running! Realized then what it was! I was chomping on some bubble gum and it was squeaking on my store-bought partial dental plate when I was chewing. In my defense, I got my ear drum blowed out in the army over 40 years ago. The army fixed it for me and my hearing has been screwed up ever since.

They screwed up my ear too. Put it back on crooked when they fixed the ear drum. That ear sits lower and sticks out sideways more than the other one. Now my damn eye glasses hasn't fit right in years. It drives barbers crazy when they try to get my sideburns even. I just sit there and let them struggle. HA! Old folks have a weird sense of humor!

I have put zip ties around a buddies drive shaft once.....he was riding down the road and it sounded like this rear end was about to fall apart. I sat in the passenger seat trying to keep a straight face. It was a pain in the butt for him to get em off too :D

But he shouldnt have removed the valve stems from my tires :)

I think I am a member of this club. Was driving my Ford F150 (best pickup ever) past the feed store when it started making a terrible noise. I pulled over, cut the engine, but the noise didnt stop! It was some of the equipment at the feed mill. I was never so happy to feel silly!

I was leaving the construction site at the end of the day and had loaded my truck and was pulling out when I heard the awfulest racket. I get out looking around the truck thinking I was dragging some construction trash. I look but can't find anything. I get back in and there it is again. I look under the truck (which is fairly high up since it's a 4x4), look around the tires...nothing. I get back in again, with the noise starting agian but this time I'm going a little faster and now I feel a little vibration...

I check the passenger side front tire, and all of the lug nuts had been backed out 4 or 5 turns..I instantly get an idea of who the culprit would be and look down the road and he's standing by the road doubled over laughing his butt off..

I have one of those "buddies" too :D

I'm crackin' up reading these stories! LOL

One of the guys at work pulled his belly dump semi up to the fuel tanks. While he was sitting in the cab of the truck I snuck up and stuck a 4x4 in between his tandems. He took off, bounced his back axle over that 4x4 and hit the brakes! We all died laughing! He said he thought he'd rolled over someone!
