sethv · 04-01-2012, 04:00 PM

Had a few text conversations with the PO of my K10.. looks like I'm going to be selling it back to him again.

Stepper86 · 04-01-2012, 05:23 PM

Pulled error codes from ECM, seems like I have a trottle position sensor problem, truck still drives like normal so I will deal with it later. Tried to get a time for registration, nothing available until Maj:-(

Busy weekend for me. Sat i removed some leaves out of the long bed and managed to lower its rear about 2 inches. Sunday i wired in my duel fans in properly. Here is befor and after pic.

the_ocho · 04-01-2012, 06:36 PM

picked up a pair of these bad boys from a local jeep shop.

they only stocked em for 2.5" axle tubes so ground them down for my 3.5 tubes and drilled a new hole to relocate the axle back .5" then welded them up. Cut a coil off the front and here it is.. just need to get some spindles... so far a 2.5/7 drop for $20

Some new addition to the paint thanks to my room mate.. he says "its lots of rat but not so much rod."

oh and ordered my grill.

crookedcounty · 04-01-2012, 07:37 PM

finally got my carb rebuilt last night new plugs, coil, and wires. the new baby leaves no time for working on the truck or sleeping but im glad she is finally here

Took a trip to the Urgent Care after cutting the flange off of a set of dually hubs with a gringer. I was preping them to get turned down into single wheel hubs and ended up with a piece of metal in my eye.

S10Fan · 04-01-2012, 08:10 PM

Took the Heap for a little 600 mile cruise, nice trip, felt good to get out on the interstate. Of course my wallet wasn't impressed with the fuel cost. LOL.

installed my new tranny cooler with 6an stainless steel lines; cleaned transfer case, driveshafts, misc bolts in preparation for new tranny; wrapped and coated my other header

ghettoluxury · 04-01-2012, 08:41 PM

Good the doc pulled the shaving out and gave me eye drops. What Sucks is I put safety glasses on and the shaving went above them.

JRANGER · 04-01-2012, 09:25 PM

Well Friday Installed the new bench and drove over to my moms Saturday but when my friend arrived he laughed and asked if it ran. So I started it up only to notice it bogging down. Open the hood only to notice the inline fuel filter leaking gas. Come to find out the new filter was plastic (Should of listened to bob and bought a metal one) so luckily i replaced it with the old glass part....

Saturday I got my brothers helped and removed the doors, replaced the pins, bushing, and one of the hinges. Installed the missing driver side rear channel, welded the bolt location that was partially cracked, installed a new steering wheel, and all new window weather stripping.

Im happy to say now with a smaller steering wheel, a bench that goes all the way back, and a driver side window that rolls up, I can drive comfortably

That's' happened to me twice, I now carry one of those extending style magnets in my pocket (when cutting/grinding metal). The magnet has cleaned out my eye a couple times. Probably should wear a shield with my glasses.

I feel you on this one. I usually dont practice wearing safety glass's when im working on the truck for some reason. I think it doesnt cross my mind when i doing something.

I was grinding all the casting flanges off my 350 block before i sent it out for machining and thought it wuld be a good idea to wear them for once. LOL, damn piece got in anyways. My luck.

Glad to hear the Doc got it out.

As for what i got done this weekend, new Grill and Headlight Bezels installed and went to the parts house to puck up all the stuff to totally redo the front end next weekend.

86c20 · 04-01-2012, 10:04 PM

got the head off of the 454 in my 1980 wreaker that broke a push rod just to find out that the valve was suck from light rust in the guide. now waiting on parts to put it back together.

JRANGER · 04-01-2012, 11:39 PM
