My daily annoyance is a few days old as I have been out of range in my travels. It's buying parts when you break down and finding they are JUNK. Had the cam position sensor on our 7.3 Ford diesel die from heat exhaustion leaving us stranded in the road in Colorado 22 miles from the nearest town, seting 3 hours cooling it off to get it started. Then when the mechanic put on a NEW one at night saying that they are no good, it didn't make it 1 block before it died. His BROKEN one off his tow truck made it 100 miles the next day. The original made it 15 years and 120,000 miles it's geting a new one from Ford today as it's lots more fun to change it on a cold engine than a hot one on the side of the road. See the daily smiles for more travel fun.
