On my truck, I spent about 4 hours trying to trace a short/drain in my electrical system and in the process removed a bunch of extra wiring the PO had installed for various accessories that no longer exist. Still haven't found the problem though...

Also, got my wife's AutoX car almost done for the first event of the season on March 7. Head swap is done, cam swap is done, everything is cleaned up and spotless now (She had a bad leak between the cam tower and head last year, yuk). Painted her engine lid and re-installed the all trim. Pulled the axles and rear hubs and am having new wheel bearings installed at the machine shop today.

Decided to drive the truck to work today. So far so good. Went nice and smooth getting here. Lots of rain though. Even got to verify that the Cruise control works! kept it at a steady 70 all the way in (50 miles).

The only bad part was trying to park in the spot my neon usually rests in.... just enough room on the drivers side to squeeze out the door.

this weekend.. I dropped my tranny off at bowtie overdrives again, and washed the 91 burb and removed the rear seat so I could fit more stuff back there. (its my work truck).

then I watched the nba all star game (the west won of course) and lost a C-note at the casino afterwards

oh. some of that stuffs not truck related but I still felt like sharing

Had to work on saturday. Spent most of sunday putting a 5/7 drop on a 93 chevy for my one of my brother's friends. So as usual I spent my weekend working on stuff that doesn't belong to me. I just can't seem to say "no" when people wave money in my face. Oh well, maybe next weekend.

Finished the exhaust with 2 40 series 3" Flow Master Delta 2 chamer muffs.

Now I have 3" all the way back from the collectors to the stainless steel tips. I'll take pics soon....If anyone is interested.


Oh, sounds great it does.
