So I drove to Green Bay from my home to see my pregnant daughter today. As I arrived at her work to pick her up for a OB appointment I smell something burning. Thought it was Green Bay because it usually stinks up there. Lol. We headed to the hospital to see the doc and the truck started to pull to the right and smell returns. Got to the hospital and checked front hubs and passenger side is red hot. No more driving. Called a tow truck and flat bedded to a ford Dealer in Green Bay. Raptor #1

Call my wife to come and get me after she gets off work. She comes up to Green Bay no issues in her 2014 screw.
She picks me up and daughter and we go to dinner and drop daughter off and head back to Menasha. As we get close to home and get off the highway near home her truck starts to sputter and want to die. We pull into gas station in Appleton and try to restart and no luck. Call a tow truck and get it towed to a Ford dealer in Appleton. Raptor #2.

This is all within 6 hours. I have a 2010 Scab with 28k miles. Her 2014 screw is at 41k miles. Never had both trucks break in the same day. Will update after I get some diagnosis from the stealers. Wish me luck.

Well on the bright side you will have a G baby soon. The rest is just Life. Hope you get them fixed. Good Luck. As per request.

That’s run of bad luck, but remember it can always be worse. No collisions, everyone’s fine.
Nevertheless, good luck and hopefully both are simple and inexpensive repairs.
