Poor T-Hoe just can't catch a health break. So soon after being resuscitated with an OIL CHANGE and suspension gewgaws and new spark plugs... another issue has come to my attention! It was on Friday, on my way home from errand day. I saw all the normal red lights and scrolling warnings, but above the gas gauge, something caught my eye.
"Hey. What is that gauge above the gas? It goes from 0 to 80, and has a picture of something like a drippy watering can. The needle doesn't move. Shouldn't it be going about halfway when the car is running? And not just sit on ZERO?"
"I don't know. Are you talking about the oil pressure? It should be moving, yes. I'll go out and have a look."
Hick grabbed T-Hoe's key and went to the garage. Came back a few minutes later.
"It should be alright. Maybe just a bad sensor. It starts up and it isn't missing. So you're getting oil pressure."
"Won't it break down? I don't want to get stranded in town! You don't always answer your phone."
"It's fine. You won't break down. It must be the sensor. I'll have Mick look at it next week. After he's back from vacation, and I get my truck heater fixed."
Well... if Hick says so. I made it to town and back on Saturday without a problem.
Well, by all means get the truck done first and then you can have any leftover time with the mechanic. Well, if you aren't stranded on the side of a road somewhere!
ReplyDeleteYet still closer to getting fixed than all that waiting for an oil change!
Delete😵I hope it IS just a bad sensor and easily fixed ✌✌
