3 Trucks and None Work

So I have two typhoons and an 01 Silverado. None of our vehicles work:rotf: Friday the trans in my 92 Ty took a dump, the motor in the wife's 93 TY took a dump two months ago and now this morning, the fuel pump went out in my Silverado. I swear this kind of crap makes me feel like selling my TY's and getting something that won't always be broken. I had to walk almost a mile this morning, this is bullshit! So I had to get the wife to work by 8:30 and it was 8:15 when I started running home. Our only hope to get her to work in time was to fire up her Ty and deal with the rod knock for 3 miles. So I popped the hood sprayed a bunch of starting fluid in the filter and we got her there. All I could think was that right after she gets out it will break and I will have to walk 3 miles home in the 18* cold with the wind blowing:roll: Luckily, I made it home. I kept the RPM's under 2k the whole way. Now time to fix the 01, what sucks is that that thing has a 30 gallon tank and it is full. I may try and take the bed off to do this pump swap. What a day, hope it gets better:lol: Had to rant, think I'm done now.

Re: 3 Trucks and None Work

Honestly thats how all my vehicles were until I bought a reliable DD. Thats the only reason I have the 04' Cadillac ... so I have something to rely on, and keep STOCK HAHAHA

Sorry to hear that, but I can relate. Only 1 of my vehicles right now ( the Caddy ) is perfect ... every other one has atleast ONE thing wrong with it!!! ---

Bummer! Sounds like you're getting ready to dump a wheelbarrow full of money into the ty's. My wife's complaint with me having to regularly turn a wrench on my ss and buy parts is why don't I just get something reliable and quite dumping money into it. Now what would be the fun in that?!?

Hope you get em back up soon, good luck with that and get some good running shoes!

That sucks. Seems like car trouble always comes in 3s. We had the same thing in my family 7 years ago. All in the same month I messed up the front of my Jimmy, the fuel pump on my mom's Safari died and the ECU took a dump on my brother's '88 S10 Blazer.

Why is it that fuel pumps always fail when the tank is full? I hate that Murphy guy and his dumb laws.

Don't feel bad... I have an 85 El Camino I spent 7 years building and I kicked teeth of the flywheel so that's out of commission, my TY still has issues breaking up so I can't drive that, my sport bike has a dead battery, and I've been borrow my Gf's grand prix and I hit a dear with it! Talk about bad luck!!! They only thing I have that runs right now is my 7 second dragster and that doesn't do me any good!

Re: 3 Trucks and None Work

Thats why I have my DD (Hyundia Elantra) which sucks. But, it gets me to work and back, and I don't care 2 Sh*ts about it!
I have my Av, but it stays in the garage next to the Ty. I don't like to take either the Av out to much (not because of gas or anything, it is just to comfortable, and I will want to drive it, but my wallet says "NO!"), and the Ty I purchased knowing it was for pleasure only.

Re: 3 Trucks and None Work

Well I just got my Silverado fixed. $280 for a damn fuel pump. Unbelievable. :roll: I decided to just take the bed off. I didn't take it all the way just picked it up and slid it back toward the rear so I could access the fuel pump. It was a piece of cake, took me about an hour. I feel a little better now. Hoping to have my TY back on the road by Wednesday or Thursday. Wife's Ty still looking at another 2-6 weeks unfortunately. I would just feel much better getting hers back together because she only got to drive for a couple of weeks before it took a dump.

and you gave me crap for buying an Evo...

I did? I am pretty sure I never said a word about you getting an EVO. I always knew you weren't really a die hard SYTY guy, didn't really think it "fit" you;) I'm actually glad you got your EVO, you seem a lot happier and it is a nice car.

Yeah, its rollin fo sho. I laughed a minute when I read that. Reminds me of the time when I used to work for someone I was running an air conditioned back hoe doing some major landscaping. It was hot as hell out side and we had about 8 guys on the job site sweating their asses off. I was in the loader and wrapped my arms around myself like I was cold to rub it in:lol: They all got pissed and told on me. I denied the whole thing of course. Guess I had it coming:lol:
