Tore the bed off of the truck, had the scrappers come over and pickup the bed, fenders a blown up 302 and a c4. Garage has much more space now.

Re: What did you get done12/19/10 edition

Mid week I cleaned the front wheels on the dually. They were pretty dirty between the lugs & center caps so I spent an hour or two doing some detail cleaning to remove the brake dust build-up & rust/corrosion off the lug nuts. Didn't have time for the rears yet.

I also swapped the impact-strip front bumper for another w/o the impact strip. I then removed the spare tire 'swing-out' carrier assembly & 4" exhaust tips so I would have better access to everything around the rear of the chassis when the time for dropping the suspension becomes available (exhaust tips didn't have to go.... I just wasn't a fan of them ).

Friday, I swapped the master cylinder out & my buddy came by to help bleed the system. The pedal still isn't as good as I would like, but it no longer fades which is of more importance.

I was supposed to be off the last week of the year & was hoping to get it done then. But, work is ramping up to meet consumer needs so it's looking like it's just going to wait until I can have @ least 2 solids days w/o distractions.... in 2011.

Any bites on yours?

Re: What did you get done12/19/10 edition

got the 6.0 mounted in the frame, but the trans I got from lkq this week was bad the pan was full of metal and the fluid was dark so hopefully they can come and get and send me another one, and started pulling out the cover over floor pan panels and I'm going to replace them with weld in

Bought a tool box for the truck and worked on my garage. Also bought the house next door in preparation for my garage expansion.

I had my wisdom teeth pulled out on Friday morning. Just starting to feel semi normal Monday night. Nothing truck related done at all. It is beautiful here all week, too.
