Well I thought i was going back in service tonight but as i was checking the front hubs I noticed the oil in the hubs was blackish grey so i took a sample of it to the freightliner shop here at home that replaced both bearings in febuary and they found metal matter in the oil so I have to drop the truck off tonight but they said it will probably be next week before thy can get to it even though it's warrantee.

Took the day today to work on Q1 numbers, get my health ins plan in order (finally), and change filters on the van. Might take tomorrow too, and get a bunch of other things done that I've been putting off or can't do on wknds.

Maybe even take mi aging madre out for a Five Guys burger and get the ol' gal out of the house for a bit.

I'd be furious. There would be talk about going to another shop, to see if they even changed the bearings in the first place. They need to rectify what appears to be their screw up.
