Tundra goes down for the count

Once again, the fuel regulator in the Tundra has failed. It was just a couple weeks ago that after spending $400 on new brakes and other repairs we had to turn around and spend another $200 getting the fuel regulator problem fixed.

Today while Vickey was running errands the truck died at the post office. So we ended up spending a couple hours with the truck, getting lunch, and waiting for a tow truck to arrive and take the Tundra back to the dealer.

I was home with the kiddies, doing usual Saturday chores, when Vickey called with her S.O.S.

We’ve got a few more afternoon hours then we’re headed to the CCSN Foundation Gala at Caesars Palace. It’s an annual fancy fund raiser for my client. Should be a fun night out for Vickey and me.

Well, we just got a call from the dealer that the truck is fixed. It was some type of hose that came off and wasn’t letting air into the engine, or something like that. So, there went about 4 hours of our Saturday for just about nothing.

Perhaps I should take an auto mechanic course so I can spot things like loose hoses or malfunctioning fuel gauges. Then again, perhaps not.
