Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Changed the oil today, hoped to fix a pesky oil leak coming from around the filter. No luck, but it was a little chilly today, so I wasn't getting into too much, we'll get a closer look at it next weekend, should be a good bit warmer.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Swept the snow off and moved it around by the wood pile so I can unload it. The wood is from yesterday's trip to my daughter's, the snow was an overnight thing LOL!

Drilled this rusty SOB off, cleaned up the inner rocker and epoxy primed it and the inside of the outer rocker.

I installed an electric fan as a pusher after work today. Getting closer to being ready to pull the trailer from New Mexico to Montana every day now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Pulled the 200 4R out of the Suburban as last fall it decided it didn't want to shift from 2nd to 3rd. I have a TH350 that I will put in until I can get the 200 4R rebuilt. I might try doing it myself next winter. Haven't ever done one before - maybe it is time.
Still waiting on the delivery of my Softopper for the Blazer. Hopefully this week. I have a new tailgate trim panel to put on the Blazer while I am waiting too.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Purchased the painless 10206 wiring harness. Started removal of stock harness. Trying to decide on 383 Stroker or LSx motor. Want to purchase in next week or so.

I can tell you, from experience, SpinTechs are LOUD!! I have headers with 3" exhaust, in/out of the SpinTechs, and 3" exhaust turning down right in front of the axles. They are loud, they rumble! At this point, I'm not sure I even like them. It seems like more volume than tone.
