What did you do today not on your truck... - Page 33 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72c20customcamper · 04-01-2021, 04:19 PM

Replaced the clock spring on the 03 Tacoma . This what happens when someone does work that has no clue how it works. Had the rack replaced by someone in Buffalo when my step son had the truck 3 months later I get the truck back with the air bag light on no horn or cruise . Knew instantly that the so called mechanic spun the wheel to line it up with input shaft on the rack . So now the spring had tension and eventually broke making lock to lock turns . Stepson said it had just happened so the shop was like 3 months not our problem . So a couple of hours and 100 bucks it's all working again

Replaced the oil pressure sending unit on my Jeep.

I had an oil leak that was driving me crazy trying to find it. Finally the oil pressure starting getting lower but it was not low on oil, and I discovered that there was oil dripping out of the end of the sensor where the wire attaches, and then dripping down on the a/t cooler lines! Apparently it got bad enough that the sensor was leaking enough pressure that it read low.

$36 at O'Reilly's and about 30 minutes fiddling with it.

Installed a woodgrain steering wheel in the 66 mustang I'm working on. Much better than the stock one, think I'm going to have to get another for my bronco.

No kidding, that looks sharp and compliments the interior.

And nice piece of meat Taskforce. Now I'm hungry again.

**Dieselwrencher** · 04-03-2021, 07:28 AM

My thoughts and prayers going to you Dale!

on the truck side of things, I did use my Longhorn yesterday to drag my 71 K20 project back to the stalled project area.

**Steeveedee** · 04-03-2021, 10:55 AM

Well, it was last Friday, but I drove it to buy some wood. A guy is selling off his wood shop because he's getting too old for the work. I hope that never happens to me. Anyway. He has lots of wood, but it's mostly short sections of wood floor. He made many projects from it, but for my purposes I'd've had to plane the flutes off the back sides and it would be too much work. I did end up buying a piece of ribbon sapele. 4/4 by 3" wide by 4' long. Didn't need the truck for that.

While it’s cooking fixed the exhaust on the Tacoma flange on the cat rotted away causing a slight leak and throwing a code. Company in Canada makes these .

**Stocker** · 04-03-2021, 03:49 PM

Yesterday I picked up a bunch of seed pods from a locust tree and got the swamp cooler ready for summer.
Today I took delivery of a pickup load of unsplit firewood, mostly dry cedar with a little doug fir. Now I have something else to do!

1976gmc20 · 04-03-2021, 04:58 PM

Uncoiled and hooked up the long garden hose in the yard, then hosed mud off the 4runner and the Silverado. They're not clean still but probably a lot lighter

I just don't get the mud bogging on purpose thing anymore

72c20customcamper · 04-03-2021, 09:05 PM

Finished up around 5

Nice, I’ve got my homemade file cabinet running as we speak, alternating oak and apple. The brisket will hopefully be done this evening. 10-12 hours total at about 200-220.

My smoker I built to it's on a trailer so I can move it around . I've been using higher temps lately 275° +/- seems to be working out well .

Looks like yours does a great job! My brisket came out perfect... 11 hours and it fell apart but was still really moist... nice smoke ring and bark.
