Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Today I replaced my heater fan. I'm going to be needing that soon! Also
figured out my door locks. Narrowed it down to one key that fits the ignition and both doors even though one of the handles isn't the original!

Slid under the back of the truck and cleaned/polished the chrome rear end cover and the brake lines on the axle housing.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Went to DMV, got the title started and got temporary registration! Hah, I'm finally on the road!

I see I am not the only one that pretend drives. If you look at my blog on my other project you should get a good laugh out it. My wife did.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Today I tackled the tank job I have been waiting to do; with some help from this forum I found out that my filler hose was cracked, I could feel it with my fingers. So, took out the tank and started the work (thanks to markeb01 for the trouble shooting suggestions).

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Compiled and cleaned a bunch of engine parts after a 3 year haitus things were scattered here and there. Short block's been together for about a year and now I'm just a timing chain and oil pump shaft away from having it ready to finish re-assembling. I hope to have engine finished and transmission ready to go on my off days next week...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Drove 'ol blue to church in the evening and as I got home I pulled up to the garage door and thought I would see if I had high beams,I knew I had low beams ... Turned out I had NO beams .. so I started checking it out, had power out of the dimmer on both sides when tested high and low .. so checked at the 2 wire bulkhead by the horn and had nothing .. got out my small sandblaster with the spot nozzle on it and blasted the corrosion off the terminals at the firewall and dimmer .. finally got them working and noticed the wire was hot to the dimmer switch ... Checked the bulbs and sure enough they were halogen ...lucky when I installed the relay for the radiator fan I installed a row of 3 from an 88 sierra .. So I had 2 spares .. so I figured it was time to do some wiring since I had already run the grounds and power for the relays it was a 10 minute job ...........

Dakota Digital, its tip top, the panel itself is less than an inch thick runs off a cat 5 cable, no speedo cable has a sensor with a wire and it programs itself, mark off a mile and push the button, gives % to empty etc, Thanks for the input
