Got my p/s belt to stop squealing (I think). Will know for sure in a couple of days after I've had time to drive it around a bit. Bypassed the upper pulley, cleaned the lower pulley, and made sure it wasn't too slick from all the slippage. So far, so good.

Installed my starter today in the RAIN (I was determined!). Oh man!! I didn't realize how bad it was until I had the new one in. The old one only seemed bad to me when it wouldn't engage before. I thought the way it sounded was just my truck. It always had kind of a high pitched tone when I'd start it before. Now it sounds so much better when starting and starts immediately when I turn the key. What a difference! I also made sure all my wires to the solenoid were good and as far away from the headers as possible.

So now I'm on to the next project...replacing the bolts to the steering gear. I'm actually having a shop do that for me on Wednesday. I'm taking a break beings this is the first time I've had someone else do any work on it since I've owned it.
Within a couple weeks after that will come rear axle seal and rear brakes.

Then maybe I can stop spending money on things that have to be fixed and start working on other stuff I've been wanting to do to it.
