Holy Mackerel, what a roller coaster
ride. I got a call from the
mechanic. He replaced the sensor that
operates the speedometer, but was still having problems. He asked if I would bring him the old
instrument cluster/gauge array that he had just replaced (thankfully he told me to keep it in case they needed parts at some
time in the future). He wanted to
use it to test the new sensor. I picked
it up from the garage and headed on over right away. I was now really curious as to what could be
happening now.
To make a long story shorter, the new
instrument cluster worked fine … except for the speedometer part. He hooked up the old cluster and ran the test
with the new sensor and it worked fine.
However … with the new sensor installed it made a horrendous sound. Solution?
He took the new sensor off, replaced the old one, and voila. Everything worked fine. All the gauges registered properly. No horrendous noise. Curiouser and curiouser. He finally just closed up the wound like a
doctor finishing surgery. He will order
a new instrument cluster. Well, another
cluster. There is no such thing as a new
one. They simply aren’t made any
more. Joys of owning a classic vehicle
and all. And whenever one becomes
available he will let me know. Of course
that could take a long time before one enters the system.
In the meantime, I drove the truck home,
and everything seems to be behaving for the time being. I hesitate to mention it – kind of like not
mentioning a no-hitter when it is in progress so as not to jinx it - but maybe I
can call the paint guy now.
Romans 8:6 says, “The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the
Spirit is life and peace.”
Father, please give me that Spirit-mind. I could especially use the peace part. Amen.
