Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
The truck was getting hot on the freeway so I figured the radiator was plugging up. I had an extra so I thought I would swap it out. I was right about the clogged radiator, when I opened the drain plug it dripped out. I drove the truck today and the temp barely rose. I will know better when I take it on a longer ride on the freeway..

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Years ago I had one of the old metal ones with the cable pull on the side. That thing was so much fun. I could get cows to come up the fence and follow the car! I guess it must have sounded pretty convincing.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
I had to replace my dimmer switch after Bigfoot(my son) got his size 13's caught in the harness and destroyed it when he pulled to untangle his fat foot. I figured by the time he turned 30 he would be over being clumsy and rambunctious, wrong.....

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
I pulled the carburetor off and attempted to remove the intake manifold. Was rewarded by popping the head off a bolt and copious amounts of fuel all over the garage. This truck has a way of installing perma-grin on my face and is a great way to kill a lunch break.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
I might be closein in on fixin all the oil leaks I've had in a new engine and trans install. Rear main on the engine and speedo bullet on the trans. But it was a good evenin layin under the truck wipein oil off previously clean surfaces, squoochin it down with cleaner and wipein it again. Onna these days its gonna be oil tight cause I won't have done stupid stuff like accidentally pluggin the breather port with a spanky new baffled grommet causing all the oil to push past the spanky new rear main seal.....dayum, thassa lotta work for putting in the wrong grommet in the first place.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Actually had some free time so my son and I

Stared at the underside of my truck after three times to make sure the oil leak was fixed. Still dry!
