Remember when spare tires were real tires and located where you could easily get to them without laying on your back in mud or snow or rain??
Anywho I have this Chevrolet Colorado with spare under the bed and the usual insert you turn which lowers a cable and the tire YEAH RIGHT #@%^* So I turn it and the tire starts to lower but then the tire stops lowering but the cable continues ahead out grrrrrrrrr *&^%$# Being a BuicknDeere friend I look at the OWNERS MANUAL that describes a safety latch. It says if that happens and the cable comes ahead out but no release to re tighten it until it clicks/skips twice WELL I TRIED THAT MANY TIMES TO NO AVAIL. I also sprayed n cleaned and lubed the mechanism so all turns free n clear. Then the manual says if no release to lower the cable and jack the tire up tight and that should release the latch YEAH RIGHT *&^%$#
Being an old boy scout type instead of relying on wimpy factory jacks n lug wrenches I usually carry a bottle jack and wooden blocks and a Bloomfield (Hi Lift) Jack plus a Four way so if I ever get that freaking spare out there will be some changes made./
I can get to a sort of flipper flapper which I can manually place on one side or the other of a pin and that's all free but regardless which side I manually force/place it on or WD 40 out the ying yang and doing the 2 things the manual says THE TIRE WONT LOWER AND RELEASE MORE THEN A FEW INCHES (*&^%$ yet the cable does
Its awful early in the AM to start drinking but I may resort to that, its driving me to drink lol
Any tips or hints out there from anyone who knows including Billy Bob and Bubba ?? I bet they experienced this and I also have cable cutters lol

Today's Featured Article - Bad Vibes - by Curtis Von Fange. One of the strangest ways to communicate with our tractor is to ask it how it feels. "Ask it how it feels," you say? Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
