Well, 2800 miles later and none the worse for wear, Except for getting stuck in norcal twice in one week
two questions:
1.at 40-55 mph on long sweeper curves my steering wheel seems to catch on something and as I apply a bit more force it pops free..........????????
I have checked all the steering U joints and when it is up on stands there is no catch. The catch feels like there is a marshmallow stuck in the steering box(i.e. soft catch soft release, no popping grinding or other suspect noises, Any ideas?????
2. The first time I got stuck was in this little snowcovered meadow with about 1.5" of snow
I pulled into it to see how the tires gripped on snow. well in the process of turning around I experience some wheel slippage, so I lock up the cdl.............nothing...... so I shift to low........still no light and no traction, no front locker no rear nothing.......... so I buried myself with 1 and a half tires spinning on a very gentle slope
so after we get my brothers chevy unstuck, (he was stuck worse than me but he has the clearance to air down and he pulls me out, I say "what is supposed to happen is this light is supposed to come on" and lo and behold, there is the light with the cdl and lockers working perfectly 5 mins after being unstuck.
WTF
Any ideas? I checked out the switch and must have pushed it 30 times while stuck with no light and it has worked perfectly since.
thanks for the help
