tareed94

Good because I was concerned about them being like the F15DY boys. They seem nice. Saw one of their trucks yesterday so I joined up on Facebook today.

What's up fellas? Corpus FX4 owner here.

tareed94

Not much man. I've had some serious hardships with my truck but finally have everything (hopefully) on the up and up. You new down here?

tagle281

Nope. Born raised and tried to leave many times...lol.

tagle281

What was wrong with your truck?

tareed94

Haha. Fair enough.

Ever since I moved down I've had nothing but issues springing up. First it was an o-ring in my power steering, got that fixed my first week here. Then I was stupid and drove over tire spikes that I didn't see, 4 used wheels and tires (wheels weren't necessary but it was a good deal), 3 days after I got tires back on the transmission blew on my way to work, then the transmission shop said I need engine mounts (corpus auto service says I don't), and CAS says I need new pulleys which I'm actually replacing all of them myself since it's easy and I'm noticing a sound from the front of the engine which could be pulley related. The tires were about 3-4 weeks ago so everything after that has been in the past couple weeks. Haha

dang man, talk about bad luck.

tareed94

Like you wouldn't believe. Haha. I got upgrades when I got all the work done (aside from the power steering). Transmission has a new shift kit and some other minor things that were updated in it. It had effectively grenaded and destroyed everything. So it got a new inner drum, bands, clutches, overdrive band, overdrive piston, torque converter, etc. It literally got gutted and rebuilt. Everything was either burned or broken. Sold my stock 20x8.5 rims and got some 20x9 Fuel Dune's with 35x12.5 trail grapplers for $800.
