| I had some breakage tonight.. On my way to Beaumont on I-10 halfway between San Antonio and Houston my tie rod broke sending me straight to the ditch at 65 mph.. It was crazy since the only thing I could control was my brakes.. So now I'm stuck in schulenburg tonight luckily in a motel and not the hospital.. Lol.. Hope I can find the part I need in the am.. | |

That sucks, glad you're ok, really scary to lose your steering! I'm down by NASA but if you need some help this evening ...well this morning now...give me a call, we have lots of rain coming, hate to see your rig flooded in a ditch, shot you my #! I have some handtools, floorjack, hi-lift, winch, etc, don't have a pickle fork though. | |
