WHAT THE ?????

I looked on the Lucky8 website and price on a master Cylinder is $129.00 Price I was quoted from Lucky8 was $141.00 and this was supposed to be a discounted price because of the previous MC that went bad...

** UPDATE**
they sent me an Email saying they are changing to a different website and the old site did not have the new pricing. They credited my account $12 difference. Still doesn't explain why a master cylinder only lasted less than a year.... Unfortunately I am getting the same one for a replacement. I will have the failed one to rebuild myself. Wish I had the original one that came with the truck!

 

would have been nice to have the Disco for the drive home from work. 10+ inches of snow, with ice under that and I had to drive the smart car. I was able to plow through dragging underneath most of the way home, 43 miles! only took 1 1/2 hours. Latest forecast is another snowstorm is heading our way soon.

 

Snowing again, picked up the Disco and the new Master Cylinder seems to have made a big difference! Of course i mow have brakes, but the pulsating pedal I was experiencing has gone away without replacing pads or rotors (??) We shall see how it does on the drive to work and back (43 miles each way)

I would have installed it myself but I just can't get much done when it is only 10 degrees out and snowing. Someday I might get a driveway and maybe even a garage!!

 

I'm with ya.

 

Drive to work was miserable.. no plows out and icy roads under 3-4 inches of snow plus drifts... Even worse driving home. Winds picked up and made a few near whiteout spots. Other than a CEL for engine miss, (probably from the cold weather flooding last week) the Disco made it there and back. Every time I think about getting rid of it, something like this reminds me why I keep it around.

 

 

 

 

Start of the snow

12 hrs later

24 hrs later with a -8 degree temp and heavy winds all night

The smart wouldn't make it up the street, anything over about 6 inches of snow and it makes a good snow plow.
