Team Redneck Day 2 1400-1600
Jake and Otis are working hard at getting the engine swapped out, parts and tools are spread about as the two make steady progress even though they are falling further and further behind.
As another competitor toots their horn as they drive by Otis asks while rummaging through one of the ice chests, “Where is that special parts cleaner, I need a swig and this pilot bearing really needs cleaning”
Jake, “It should be in the blue cooler”
Otis, “I’m looking in the blue cooler right now”
Jake, “It should be under the bags of jerky we made”
Otis growls, “Their ain’t no damn jerkey in here, you sure it ain’t in the red one”
Jake, “The red ones empty, we emptied it during the cookout last night.”
Otis notices the remaining bottles of crap beer in the blue cooler, “Well damn, I think I know where they went”
Jake, “Where”
Otis, “The same place that crap beer you set out”, Jake chimes in at the same time Otis says it “The Hooligans”.
When Jake gets a chance he sets up a full roll of toilet paper minus the carboard core in a large baggie of water and places it in the bottom of the cooler to get nice cold and real soggy.
Otis cleans the pilot bearing as best he can with WD-40 before slathering it with grease.
An hour goes by with the two working hard, the engine is in, the connectors are all hooked up and accounted for, only two small bolts are left over which neither one recognizes.
When they go to crank the engine… Nothing, it doesn’t even crank.
Otis grabs the multimeter while Jake grabs the laptop.
Otis, “12.5 volts batterys good”
Jake, “No codes”
Otis, “Check what all of the sensors currently read”
Jake, “good, good, good, oh crap, crank position sensor is reading out.”
Otis climbs under the truck to check the connector, “Try it now”
Jake, “still bad, lets just grab the one off the bad engine”
Otis, “Ok ill remove this one, you pull the other”
This time period is up…
@Madrias The jerky was some animal that the rednecks hunted recently.
