What is up with that???

I am on the job last week and have a flat on my Dodge Dakota. Crew comes over and startst to help put tjhe spare on. My lug wrench that came with the truck doesnt fit. We bring over 5 cross wrenches and try....none fit.

Just in time the mechanic shows up and gets a socket on one and blam!! it breaks off and the cover gets stuck in the socket.. Took and hour to get the 5 off and remove the covers from the socket.Tried prying and pulling the covers with pliers. Nothing removed them.

Who is the jerk that thought to design and install them without even a note on the owners hand book. That pure dee crap was put on my wheels. Good thing I wanst in the middle of nowhere at night in the rain. Just spend a few cents more for real one piece lug nuts.


What really, really pissed me off is that when I told my wife she has the gaul to say "Why didn't you just call AAA?"

ERRRRR

Ordered new regular lug nuts and installed them today. Impact work really good at getting the crap pff my truck.

Just Bitching.
 
You’re not alone @Cisco Kid . Some of my caps wore off. I thought, what the hell is this? At least I didn’t have the trouble you had getting them off. But it does drop the sizefrom 19mm to 18 on our TJ’s. Nice to see you! Hope your neighbors girl is doing fine after the accident
 
Yup She is fine..

My grand daughter is fine too. She was in the classroom next to where the shooting was going at Santa Fe High School.
We were visitig today when she finally broke down and started crying. We sat and held hands and talked.
Gonna be a long road for those students and God bless those that were lost.

More people to pray for. I’ll remember. A lot scary for her to be next door.
