[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 155574, member: 1944"] That is sad. Since he has so much time in as a driver,(and even if he didnt) he just needs to park it and call, every time. I drove a few times when I didnt feel safe with things not right on my truck, now I have a superb mechanic and a regular truck, and now Im not afraid to say "nah, not doing it" If you know in your heart, it is not safe, you are the professional, it is your job to not drive it.
