I almost Died


Recommended Posts

Posted

Well i was driving back from San Antonio this past weekend with a car full of Cheerleaders (sorry had to Brag) but i was on cruise control around 80 with like one hand on the wheel and suddenley i heard a really loud pop/snap and the front drivers side of my truck suddenley bottomed out and i though i blew a tire.

 

the truck pulled hard to the left off the freeway into the median and i ended up in a spin with 5 screaming cheerleaders, i came to a stop in the median and got out to find my tire still entact, so being as though i could do nothing at that moment i limped to the next rest stop about five miles down the road. Upon further investigation i realized that my ORU torsion bar key had sheared in half next to the bolt :eek: i searched my toolbox for an answer hoping to find the jaw puller and my old torsion keys. VIOLLA.

 

I spent the next 4 hours in the parking lot of a texas rest stop with 5 cheerleaders asking questions and complaining switching my torsion key, i got done at around 2 in the morning and ihad to crank the left bolt almost to bottom and the right one almoust out to safely level the truck.

 

So i called ORU and they agreed to send me 2 replacement keys and a new driver side shock since it literally popped.

 

So loong story short i almost died and ORU is really good to deal with. :crazy:

Well at least it sounds like you would have died happy. If I could choose how I would go out, a scenario involving 5 cheerleaders would definately work. :crazy:

They are glad it wasn't me. They be crying. After being pissed off that it broke, them asking questions and bitching, would of made me explode and tell them to shut their bitching mouths.

After that, I wouldn't put those keys back on my truck. You were lucky THIS time.

In there defense i did bottom out the keys and they stood behind there product,

 

On the downside, i completely chewed up my front tires on the way home because of the super crappy alignment
