So, is this something I can get locally? I'm going to check at Lowe's and the parts store after work. I hope I don't have to call John again since that always results in too many $$$ in "oh, yeah" parts being purchased!
Grrr...jam nut!

Grrr...jam nut!
I ordered a bunch of stuff from John @ MWM yesterday, then got home and remembered that the jam nut on the rear axle flex line needed to be replaced. The old one looks like someone chewed it with a chainsaw. I never was able to get it off the old flex line and had to cut the other end off to save the bracket.

Take some comfort in knowing that this phenomenon is neither limited to you or John.refit1701 wrote:... always results in too many $$$ in "oh, yeah" parts being purchased!
You can trust your mother, but you can't trust your ground.
It starts out simple "I need an exhaust pipe" and before I get finished looking through the list I've got a new electrical system.
"Gee, I hate to bother John for just this one thing, I'll get a couple of others too."
Ugh.
I still have to find a jam nut....
