I managed to to rewire my fans and put them on relays, They were wired straight to the fuse box before.

Now I have one that comes on with the key and the other comes on at 185*

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Found out the torque converter internally came apart and killed the pump in the tranny...Tranny was not damaged fortunately because we shut it down immediately...

i played around with my ammeter and switched to a volts meter!! i had a triple set of sunpro gauges for the volts, oil, water! i took the volts gauge housing apart and oblonged the two holes, also cut about 1/4" off the original housing! so it would slide down a lil and look more centered in the gauge cluster! anyways sorry for the crappy pics but i think you get the idea, last picture the gauge is just sitting in there and slide to the left a lil!! i think i'm going to add the oil and water gauge tomorrow

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

God a box full of goodies for the truck from a company that will remain nameless for the moment. Went to install the first one(chrome locking gas cap), tested the keys and they seemed to work, installed the cap and discovered the key doesn't unlock the cap when it is installed on the filler tube.
Just finished writing them an email asking if they'd prefer to pay for a locksmith to removed the cap or overnight me a replacement cap, filler neck, filler hose, clamps & filler gasket so I can replace the filler neck that now has a cap stuck on it.

Picked up a box of air bag stuff. Used, but I think I did good. I picked up a 5 gallon air tank, a Viair 380C compressor, a pair of Contitech FD -110 bags, a couple of 1/2" air valves, 40 amp relay, and a 5 port Ingersoll Rand 1/4" valve - I'm not sure how to use that but it all ran me a whopping $100.00. I couldn't get my wallet out fast enough. There's no pressure switch, switches, or dual needle air gauge but I think I did OK. I'm only going to bag the rear but I still want to split it side to side.

Got the upper ball joints off:

Now, I have to figure out how to get the lowers out without owning a press.

Finally decided on the shifter knob. (I know, I know cart waaaay before the horse!)
I welded on a pineapple grenade. It look sweet! I forgot to take a pick at the shop.

Also got a bunch of the muck off of the front suspension parts so I could take them to the blaster. They are just to complicated to clean with a wire wheel. I can get the whole front suspension done for about $70.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Put on an intake, carb, recurved the distributor, pulled out the second battery and some junk wiring for a camper, still have more to do.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Replaced master cylinder. They dont make them like they use too. This is the second one with the last 2 years.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Took off the driver door. Time to start some rust repair..... Crossing my fingers, I am not sure how bad the damage is yet.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

yes....it was not a "rebuild" it was a service job to repair the tranny. It was never discussed to do anything with the torque converter, which is a lock up unit that is activated with a toggle switch...I get the truck back tonight and hopefully this mess is behind me now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

If you have a cable to attach your phone to the PC, you should be able to find the files that way.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Visited it at the body shop. I took it there a week ago to have the doors adjusted. Now it's done and I'm thinking of having them pull the ashtray, heater block off and radio delete plate, smoothing out the entire center dash so I can put my gages there along with a tach.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Look's great, what size tire's did you use.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
