Re: Frankentruck
Messed around with some sunset pictures again. Just my phone with a smidge of editing on the laptop. My parents have a fairly nice camera back at home, so I might have to start using it this summer. My four year old phone is a little behind on the times camera wise

Re: Frankentruck
Hang in there, it will all be worth it! In my experience, the study materials are key. I gave up an entire football season's worth of Saturdays attending a prep course, which turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made.
An old mentor of mine shared with me that after he passed the exam, his father said 'now you'll never starve'....that said, there were only 13 FASB's when he got his license ![]() ![]() |

Re: Frankentruck
Congratulations on that and justifiably proud of achieving that. Hopefully there will be enough time later to enjoy the truck.

Re: Frankentruck
These are more of the graduation pics y'all were expecting to see
![]() I took high school graduation pictures with Frankentruck a while back, so of course I had to do it again. I ended up not taking pictures for my undergraduate degree because I had already decided to return to Georgia College for my Masters, and my graduation ceremony was an online only ceremony. This time though, it was a normal ceremony, so that was nice. Anyways, enjoy some pics of Frankentruck and myself out at Lake Sinclair. (Last picture: Captain Rust Bucket on the hunt for another C10 to save)

Re: Frankentruck
I know what's wrong with it, it ain't got no gas in it!
It's hard to put into words about how thankful I am for my parents. They worked hard to raise me up to be a respectful member of society. I think I turned out ok ![]() ![]()

Re: Frankentruck
Thank you! I enjoyed my internship, and I'll be doing the same type of work when I start full time later this year with the same company. I do get to spend my summer studying for and passing the rest of my CPA exams. 1 down, 3 to go.

Re: Frankentruck
I have two starter for the truck. One that would spark really bad when I tried to start it, and the one that was in the truck but sometimes wouldn't do the spinny thing and sounded pretty crunchy most of the time.
I took the extra sparky one to a starter and alternator shop in Milledgeville before I graduated to have it rebuilt. I haven't had the time to rebuild one myself, so it made sense to pay $60 for the knowledgeable folks to work their magic on it. I was able to swap starters this evening, so now I'm not worried about the starter for awhile.

Re: Frankentruck
Fixed another issue with Frankentruck today. I didn't realize that one of the taillights would turn off at night when the blinker was activated. My dad noticed it over the weekend. I cleaned up the grounds on both sides, and that fixed it. The lights seem a lot brighter now too
![]() I also had to pull the starter out of the Dakota this morning so I can have it rebuilt. May is the month of starters for me apparently

Re: Frankentruck
Yep, they do corrode and weaken the connection. I think I mentioned in the 'What did you do to your truck today?" thread that I had to use PB Blaster to get the bulbs out of my tail lights.

Re: Frankentruck
Yeah, that's no fun on that one. Thankfully, it wasn't the bulb that had corroded. It was more that I didn't do a great job of grounding the housings when I swapped bedsides last year. They work way better now for sure.
