this sucks -my last 2 day when it rains it pours!
day ONE
went to get a oil change on my conversion van i keep down here in florida. i pick up the truck and the rear of truck sounds like like i was driving or dragging a grate behind me .i drive around the parking lot .the oil change guy hops in drive it to hear the crazy sound. he stalled the truck some how. go to restart it and the thing acts like a dead battery . and starter drags ands acts funny. so we try a jump start wont help .then we get battery jumper cables. no luck call a tow truck $70. take truck to a service station. thats were its at now and call inlaws to pick me up. i think im just having a bad day.
i hope its just a rear brake that fell apart or the er.cable got stuck .they did apply it at the shop were i had the oil change . and thats all there is to the sound from the rear end .and were thinking the starter took a dump. i had been having a odd problem last week were i turn the key once and nothing would happen .try again and it start the truck.not all the time but now and then.
TODAY -DAY 2
WELL IT WENT FROM BAD TO WORST ! shop put in a starter unlocked the rear brakes. only to have A $270. REPAIR BILL. go 3-4 miles down the road and the TRANS QUIT. SO I RENTED A CAR FOR THE REST OF MY TRIP .AND UNLOAD ALL MY STUFF I HAD in the van .
(sorry for caps but no light were im writing this out at .on a front porch ) after all the money i put into this van they gave me $80.00 scrap .
4 new tires with nubbys still on them with maybe 2000 miles wear . new oil pan , brand new starter :(

Whooaaaa :shock:
Makes one wonder if something else happened during the oil change. Or else just it sitting.
As Phil said, hang in there ;)
