Hunting a water leak.

Re: What have you done with your trucks today
Fabricated a stepside hinge since my truck didn't have one when I bought it.

Re: What have you done with your trucks today
Re charged the '03 Tahoe Battery.
Sprayed WD-40 on door catches. Hoping to chase a DOOR AJAR Gremlin.

Re: What have you done with your trucks today
I wish.
The water is showing up on the carpet along the LH sill. There's no holes in the floor and there's no damp underneath the HVAC box. There's no damp underneath the air vents in the back of the cab either but I replaced them. The seals were looking a little rough but there weren't any leaks.

Does it smell of coolant? And what year, make and model truck are we talking about?

Re: What have you done with your trucks today
There's been so much rain this summer it smells like a swamp. It feels like Hotlanta in March to early April.
Usually by this time of year it's hot but dry with high fire hazard and the rain is lower until early Sept. My pond that drops to almost nothing by late July is still full.

Re: What have you done with your trucks today
The '06 Silverado K2500HD that I gave my Dad some years ago, ended up back to me when he passed away back in February. It had been sitting for quite some time while he was fighting cancer. So it has a few things wrong, that need to be addressed.
The drivers side extended cab rear door latch is broke, and needs to be replaced. I also have to replace the vapor canister purge valve and/or the fuel tank pressure sensor, so the check engine light will go away (code P0446) hoping to get this done in the next week. Gary

Re: What have you done with your trucks today
Sorry for your loss. Cancer killed my Dad too, but 40 years ago, now.

Re: What have you done with your trucks today
Today I crimped a fresh Ring Terminal on the end of a ground strap going from the Firewall to the Hood of my '03 Tahoe. According to a schematic, this ground is the Radio Ground Plane, so my FM reception should improve.
Since it was adjacent, I also inspected and cleaned up [w/ a wire brush] the ground srtap end from the Block to the Firewall. It wasn't bad but it's good to keep up. Thursday I was going to help a friend troubleshoot the dead headlights on his '16 Subaru Forester. But I couldn't find the special Fuse Pliers I ordered off Amazon. So we cracked the beers early. I looked again today, but I had put them somewhere ''safe''. [From me.]
