Re: What did you do to your truck today!
It's been a busy few weeks with my love affair with mine. I had a section of fuel line break on me and it prompted me to look at other areas of the truck. It was purchased in the west side (dry side) of Idaho, so I think that or the use of ethanol over the years. I replaced the line and then all of the heater and radiator hoses to new. In doing so I added the retro "tower" style clamps and separated the heater hoses with a nice billet piece. Also - fixed the power steering pump squeal by adding two new belts to the dual pulley. Changed the alternator belt for good measure. The rears of the valve covers are leaking bad, so hopefully the new gaskets I just bought will solve that. The internal regulator on the old alternator is acting up, so a new chrome Powermaster arrives tomorrow, along with a new chrome mount and turnbuckle style tensioner. The old girl is looking good!
