No photoshop here. Once I got it off the jack stands I DROVE it down the drive way and washed her. When I was finished I DROVE her back. The brakes......didnt work at all.....the E brake barely worked...but I stoped.
Thursday October 4, 2007:
Tow truck came around 7:15am and towed her to the dealership. The brakes were bled, oil preasure checked, and front end alighnment was done. By 1:30ish I was able to pick it up. They had a problem building pressure in the rear brake lines. Now was time for its first drive in over 3 years. Once I started it at the dealership, I had like 20 people hovering around my car asking me all kinds of questions.
Anyways, so I start driving to go see my buddy at Advance Auto Parts. No problems. I did notice the car shook alittle....at first. I get to Advance, which is only like 2 miles down the road, and the car was shaking real bad. The first thing I did was check the wheels. 80% of the lug nuts were loose.....my fault, but then I noticed brake fluid on one of my rims. I went to whipe it off and off came the paint as well. I was kinda pissed at that point. I call Dodge and let them know about the wheel and they say dring it back, so I say ok. I get my buddy to show him my car. I start it up then POP goes an injector and gas all over the place. After I shut it off I noticed that one of the injectors had unseated from the fuel rail. No biggy. After about an hour of letting it cool down and fixing it I'm ready to go back to the dealer. I get to the dealer and they tell me that they will replace the wheel. GOOD. While I was there I had them make sure the lugs were tight. So now I'm ready to go again. This time I'm going to Target to show off the car. Again, less then 2 miles down the road......car problems. The gas light came on then went out. Then the fuel preasure drops to 0 and the car stalls. While in traffic I try to restart the car, it starts but only for a second so I coast threw 2 lanes and pull into a shoping center where I have to push the car in a parking lot. Still kinda pissed. The wife was right behind me in the Charger thankfuly. I pop the hood and guess what....the same injector poped again. FUCK!!! Really pissed now. I call my dad and tell him to dring so tools and send the wife out to get some other tools. Another hour or so goes by and I get it fixed again....for good!! Back on the road and on to Target. Everything is running great! I stall twice beacuse I'm not used to the new clutch but everything is great. I show my other friend the car and get back on the road to go see another friend. Again, everything if great and the car is running awesome.......slow but awesome. So I get to his house and give him a ride and get back to his house and the wife points out the another fuel leak!! This time coming from the stock fuel regulator, which im not even using anymore. FUCK AGAIN!! We hop in the Charger and go back to Advance to get parts to fix it and come back. By 7pm I'm fixed and ready to go home....if I can make it.
The 20+ mile drive home and everything was A ok. No problems. We make it home around 8ish pm. It was a pretty eventful day. For the first time in 3 years nothing major went wrong. Nothing broke and I didnt have to get a tow. I very happy with the car and cant wait to get boosted. The car is begging for it. She rides nice and stiff and I can tell how great she will handle when I finialy get up to higher speeds. In a few weeks it'll go get the rest of the work done. But I'm happy for now....she is drivable.
