Happy Birthday Grease Monkey

Thanks everyone. Really appreciate it. 

I try and do my birthday week at Glamis every year. 99% of the time it's mid week and raining and I'm over it and wanting to head home.  All my friends coming out talk me into staying and it's always a good time. 

This trip was 10 days. MLK clean up weekend started the trip and just got home. 

Epic weather the whole time. Last night saw some sprinkles and we left this morning with some sprinkles. 

Stoked to pull this one off.

Cars running great. 

Had the air compressor head crack so just killed that and left the air bags alone with one setting.

Lost the steering on Friday. Spool valve in the rack went to crap.  Scrambled but threw the towel in on swapping. Been 8 great days. 

Cars loaded, racks pulled and ready for rebuilding.

:cheers:

Happy birthday. 
 

when you said the spool valve in the rack went out, what were the symptoms?

Steering started hanging up and felt like air in the system. This was when I knew something was up.  Next morning, went for a ride close to camp to warm up and the steering started to lock up. Couldn't turn the wheel. 

Made it back to camp slowly with quite a fight. 

 
Hey, I said good morning to you at the dump station and didn't realize it was you. Lol.  We were waiting on Tony (urclever) and that's how I found out it was you. Happy birthday.

I think I’m starting to develop the same symptoms. Steering started to feel harder than normal and there is a subtle twitch every so often.
