if only....

if only changing a fuel pump on a thirden is as easy as my grandma yep the fuel pump went out on the grand ma

thanks to mike for commin down and helpin me out on minutes notice.... also thanks to terrell and traviz for moral support


but ya the tank was out in 20 mins and well back in thats a different story as well CRAFTSMAN SUCKS A$$

ya i get finished and i tried to start the car and the battery was dead from previous tries to start it...so i get my sister to jump start it and i accidently left it ingear and let go of the clutch (ask traviz about that) luckily i had my foot on the brake it jolted alittle bit enough to almost knock the car off the stands...but after 5 mins of trying to get my sister to put the jack under the rear and jack the car up off the stands she wouldnt...

so i make her jumpstart the car again and i throw it in reverse and rock the car back some so its sturdy on the stands better...still only on 2 of 4 legs of the stands but holding the car steady now...i get out of the car and set a jack stand on the other side next to the crooked one and try to jack up the other side well thats when the damn crapsman jack failed and wouldnt lift the car anymore the cylinder is bypassing fluid....so after and hour of messing with the jack and thinking i just get pissed off and grab a sledge hammer and hammer the crooked jackstand out of one side with the jack under the car to catch it so i get one side out and lower it down...than the other...in one month now thats 2 craftsman things that have broken

my compressor 3hp very low hrs blew the compressor head to tank line

and now my jack 2 years old extreme light use....never craftsman again

now i have to do the fuel sending unit on the iroc who wants to help with that?

i am gonna convert to 1le tank/1le sendingunit/ and racetronix pump when i do that too.
