Fabricated a stepside hinge since my truck didn't have one when I bought it.

Re charged the '03 Tahoe Battery.
Sprayed WD-40 on door catches. Hoping to chase a DOOR AJAR Gremlin.

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.

How about precipitation? Get much rain there? It rains so seldom in AZ that I don't consider it much. And Locals are very grateful when it does. This year has been dry for a monsoon season.
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.

Re: What have you done with your trucks today

Sorry for your loss. Cancer killed my Dad too, but 40 years ago, now.
