Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Got after it pretty good this weekend.Friday I put in the battery tray I bought from the board to replace what was left of my old one.

Then, this morning, I went inside the cab, and laid on my head and surgically repaired shoulder for an hour and a half changing out the damn stoplight switch. My hands just couldn't get up there to loosen the top nut to drop it out. Turns out my trucks PO had crossthreaded it.

After about an hour of messing with it, I grabbed a pair of dikes and proceeded to cut at the old plastic until I could pull the bottom nut off. Once it was off I pushed the stump up through the hole and out.

In the end I won. My brake lights now only come on if you're actually pushing on the pedal ().

To treat myself after all that hard work, I took the 2 minutes to install the new park light lenses in the grill.
