A deal was struck between the Jeepster of the California Cartel, and Windy City Joe of the Cannarozzi Crime Syndicate.
Joe is fixin to come to California and give me a hand changing out all my air bags (on the bus, not talking about KJ here) :) ,,, Norgren valves, and brake chambers.
I began having some minor leaning issues again, and decided after listening to the experts (Jon & Trukster & all my other POG buddies) to go with the shotgun approach and replace all of them.
I have no idea when or if any of these things were ever serviced or changed on my bus, so it will give me a baseline to go by as well.
I think given enough time I could figure out this stuff, but time is not in great supply at this point, and being as Windy City Joe has done this stuff for years, why not get someone who knows their stuff to show ya how its done eh?
The parts for all the above, plus a new manifold and all the relays for the air control is 2200.00 more or less.
I cannot disclose Joe's fee under an agreement between the families, but I can tell you he asked for payment in small, unmarked, non-sequential bills.
It will be good fun to meet Joe too I am sure..
A meeting of the Cali Cartel has been called for next Saturday, as we will be heading out to the taco shop at days end on Saturday, as nobody in the Cali Cartel has met Joe and we are all looking forward to it.
Additionally, if anyone else is passing by and wants to say hi, let me know and I will disclose the locations.
Jdub, if you want to fly the Dr Killer in, we are going to a superior Mexican joint!
I have to admit, I was starting to wonder about Joe, when we were on the phone working out flight reservations, and I asked him the correct spelling of his name, he said "hold on let me get my wallet out". I asked if he couldn't spell his own name and the reply was, "just seeing of there is a "J" in it".
I told him that all the common spellings of "Joseph" I knew of, seemed to contain one ????
Am I making a mistake here??? :p:D;)
