Default Poor Ram

What a day for my father's ram. First of all, I just want to say we have been working the snot out of it for the past 3 weeks, commuting back and forth from Ft. Lauderdale to N. Miami 2-5 times a day. We already put about 2000 miles on the new tires that are only 3 weeks old. Some of you may have read my post earlier today, that we went out this morning the fuel pump was dead. She just decided that was it and she needed a break, lol. Got it on the wrecker and took it into the shop, put it on the rack, slaped a new pump in and she was good as new. Then the brakes needed done, so our buddy mitch, who is the mechanic at the auto shop (we run a hydraulics business based in my father's business partner's shop) did the front brakes. Took it for a test drive they worked fine. Got onto 95, then when we got off, it didnt want to stop, so we almost rear ended a toyota. The rears need adjusted, so they arent grabbing well, and the fronts glazed over.


Anyways, the brakes got better by themselves. We went to get milk about 45 minutes ago, and when we were coming back out, some girl in a little acura backs right into the front of it!! Smashed the bumper on the acura, but didnt even put a scuff on the ram. Of course she took off, but we got here license plate number and gave it to the police.


Cliff notes for the lazy:

Ram driven 2000 miles in 3 weeks

Fuel pump died, brakes failed, and the truck was hit all in the same day
