  3. Gotta new noise in the truck today

    Went to pic up my little brother today and when I pulled in the parking lot and came to stop (normal stopping) I heard a grunting noise almost like the brakes were metal to metal :confused:  even my brother heard it when he was standing there. The brakes looked fine last oil change and tire rotation. When I got back to my shop I put it on the lift and did a quick visual inspection but everything look fine :dunno:  I was to busy to at work to take the wheels off. quess I'll take a better look tomorrow, it's just  :banghead:

    Just venting :mad:

    Probably got a little Bluegrass in it while in Ky. lol

    Count me in I had mine replaced last yr and I had to take mine in this week because my passenger mirror quit heating and I had like 35,900 miles on it so I told them to grease it while I had it there cause it was just starting to act up a little. So I figure this is going to be a once a yr deal. Hey taws04SS had an ideal while we were at the Kentucky gathering at the corvette museum about taking it apart and putting in a grease fitting to keep it greased. I dont know if he ever has looked into it or not.

    Jim, great job setting this up. It was a blast. I also wished I could have stayed for the track but promises to deployed wife are just that. A little someone here is still talking about your 8 y/o boy. I am giving here such a hard time- I love it now. Definitely will hate it in 10-12 years (probably sooner if I cant get her into a convent, first! :lol: ).

     

    Let me tell you about a small world. Went onto post to make an appointment for my last Physical in the Army :flag: . I am talking to the VA adminstrator and in small talked noticed he races camaroes. He was at the track and the corvette museum. He asked which one I had and said the Silver one. HE noticed it was not among the blues and blacks that raced on Sunday. So there you have it. I thought that was pretty cool. HE called you all beasts. HE runs 1/8 mile and the trucks were doing 1/4s. He noticed and exceptionally nice run by a black one. Was that Bad2 or Puffer?

     

    When my wife gets back next week from Iraq, we could do the track thing :driving:  later down the road with a bunch of you KY/TN types and we dont have to call it anything. We could call it my retirement party :cheers: .

    I think it must of been puffer

    Thanks again. 101st Air Assault.

    I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who had a part in helping and coming to the hopefully 1st annual "Vette City Event in Bowling Green, Ky. I really enjoyed everyones company and the time they took out of there busy schedules to make this happen. It turned out a whole lot better than I had expected it to. Everyone give a big congratulations to Bad2theBoneBlackSS for winning the remote control Intimidator SS that I gave away and getting the 1st Place trophy at Beech Bend Raceway Park. He definately came out the winner in all this this weekend. Anyway I could go one forever but please check out the pics from Chevyman23 and Bad2theboneBlackSS will hopefully have more pics and hopefully footage from the track. Thanks again all and I am going to start working on hopefully another gathering hopefully mayby around springtime. Jim

Drive safe leave the speeding for the track. Thanks Jim.

    No it is not too late I bought a few extra badges just in case someone would want to come. We are going to try to meet Saturday morning at cracker barrel at 8:00 if you can make it if not we will meet at the museum around 11:00. As far as sizes all I would know is for myself and my 2 boys. I know one guy has a 15 and a 5 yr old. and another has 2 boys coming you may just ask on this thread if they are interested. I would take a 2x and my boys are 5 and 8 yrs old dont know how small or large you can get. Anyway come on down we would love to have you I think you will be the only silver birch coming. Thanks Jim

    Just a thought but is there anything in particular you guys would want to do after the museum tour? I just didnt have any ideas we could still take the scenic route up to the barren river lake dam or whatever. We can talk about it when you get here. I just didnt plan nothing too big it being the 1st gtg and all but I am open to do anything. We could drive to Nashville and check out the scene or just whatever I dont want things just to end after the museum tour. Give me some ideas I know I can always eat you can tell by looking at me. Well we will just see what happens I am just rambling on and I need to go to bed I got 12 hrs to pull tomorrow and tuesday.
