Well this story starts a couple weeks ago...The starter went on my jeep on december 11, no biggie, it was the original one from 12 years ago, replaced it that day! never really drove it cause the brakes need work, went to start it up the day after christmas cause of all the snow (considering a 2wd chevy with a V8 and a rear locker doesn't get you very far in the snow) and guess what, the starter isn't working. work the five or six times before ( when I first replaced it.) start swearing bla bla bla, Go down to Napa, guy tells me I need the recipt, (I am standing there with the shiney new start in my hand with napa writen all over it, and he says he didn't sell it to me. so....
I find the recipt, go back to napa, give him the starter and recipt, looks at me and says there is nothing wrong with the starter... I look at him and ask if he can also read my mind cause he didn't even test it, just looked at it. He says Napa provides the best replacement parts bla bla bla I tell him all I want is a new sarter. Finally, get the new starter, put it in to the jeep in the snow, fires right up. ya!
So. I started to repair my rear brakes (also the original ones) and I tear everthing donw on the drivers side, try to put the new wheel cylinder in, wrong gosh darn one! (not quite what I said) My friend has a brake shop and ordered all the parts for me at his discount and some where along the line I ended up with the wrong wheel cylinder! In anyones defence, the Part number on the box does not match that of the part! so... have to put it back together with the old parts, waiting for the new wheel cylinder to come in!
What is next, order a re-manufactured engine block for the jeep, and the accidentally send me a marine built 454 BB, ya Then I won't complain!
Sorry for the rant!
