Clueless In Sandland
I took the BOSS for a wheel alignment this morning. The car's not registered at the moment, so I didn't want to venture out at the busiest time. The roads are quiet at 5:30am when I go to work on day shift and slowly builds to a demonic crescendo around 9am, then quietens off again until middayish. I left my place at 9:30 and the roads weren't too bad and apart from the steering being a little eratic (hence the afore mentioned wheel alignment) the BOSS drove well.
While it was on the alignment ramp, I had a look underneath to make sure nothing was leaking or going to fall off. The power steering pump had a slight leak on the return line so I nipped it up. When I started it again, the leak was worse! But, that was the only thing worth noting.
The roads were building to manic again when I left so I was forced to bury the "go" pedal to get out of the alignment place driveway - whoops, much fishtailing and squeeling!
The old girl drives nicely and I like the feel of the Jeep box. It's quite light but still (IMO) has good road feel. The hydroboost is brilliant with ample braking provided by my big toe! While driving, the temps and oil pressure were good. It idles too high but I need to remove the bracket holding the cable in place and elongate the attaching holes as I'm out of travel.
We're playing a gig this weekend and the weekend after my son and I are off to London for a few days so the weekend after that, I'll be driving the BOSS over to our new compound. I'll have an escort but I feel a lot better about it already after this morning's little shakedown.
