Default Today, i have been screwed hard and it hurt.

how does my back side feel, sore.
how does my wallet feel, broke.
how does my truck feel, abused badly.


today was the day, new gear install.
i show up at 7:30 by 8:30 it is all apart.
moving along nice and fast.
when to my surprise i get waved over.
the box with the 3.73 gear is open and they are
shaking their heads no no no no no no.
so i am told this wont work.
i ask why not, it is a 3.73 for this axel.
yes it is a 3.73, no it is for the front axel,
see the reverse rotation.

HUGH, WHAT, YOUR KIDDING RIGHT.
no, so what do you want us to do?

what are my options.
1. put it all back togather and let me pay you for wasting your time.
2. by a set from you.

option 2, how much.
185.00 plus tax.
OUCH, OUCH, OUCH, OUCH, OUCH, damn.
so i said all right add it to the bill.

i doubt you know what it is like.
buy all the parts you need.
set a date to do it.
know just how much it will cost.
then add 200.00 to the bill and feel like you been raped.
so now not only did i pay 50.00 for a used set of 3.73
off the sell board here but i paid out another 200.00
because they were the wrong set.

oooofff...I understand how you feel. I felt the same way. What I found is, when you think you can get ahead, you always end up realizing...there just isn't any shaking Mr Murphy.
