Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Yes, a small garage for golf cart, motorcycle etc. He had his dual sport motorcycle and a couple of mountain bikes. We did the exhaust Saturday and he sold it Sunday. Put it up for sale a few weeks ago and someone came with cash Sunday.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
The only school bus mishap I experienced was one morning we passed an oncoming combine that had a light hanging out enough to rake across the windows shattering them. Very startling to say the least. I thought it was cool. No one got hurt and we got to school really late!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I added a spin-on filter to my parts washer, just a small motorcycle/atv size filter. Let it run and the solvent is noticeably cleaner, lighter in color too. Just something I wanted to keep from recirculating the dirt/particulate on the parts I'm trying to clean. The pump seems happy and still has plenty of flow and luckily Rock Auto has these cheap little filters for $1.39 each which is good enough for a parts washer. When the flow slows down then it will be time to change the filter.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Where did you get the spin on adaptor? That looks great and I want one on mine.

I honestly can't tell you Larry. I would bet there is something around there. Might even be a place there in Riverside. LockDoc

Rebuilt the BBQ. New burners, grills and plates plus a good cleaning. Can't wait to do up some steaks on a sunny afternoon now!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Its a left over from a college project, pretty sure its not off the shelf based on memory. Rock Auto sells spin on adapters and remote mount adapter kits in the tools and universal parts section.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
They used to let the vanners stay overnight in the park. The club isn't involved. Classic Parts is putting it on. I'll put the arm on Carrie to get some info out on the ol interwebs. Are you coming for the shindig in July, or the meet up in Springfield in a week?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I bought a remote spin-on filter mount at NAPA. They come with two-bolt mounting. The fuel/water filter base/mount (plastic) on the firewall of my diesel Jimmy cracked and replacements are unavailable so I rigged up the spin-on mount and a bleed valve in the line. I tried to find it on NAPA's lame website but they want all the vehicle info for a "universal spin on filter mount". So I Googled that, without universal, and got a zillion results

I don't remember how expensive the filters were, but I wasn't changing them but about once a year or so. * I used to get old leaky cylinders from the junkyard for maybe $5 and rebuild them with new cups from NH for maybe another $3-$4 Some of those cylinders would be several hundred dollars new at that time (1980s). I couldn't figure out why people would just throw stuff away, but even the parts stores in that little mountain town would say "oh, we can't get those seals - just go buy a new one"

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I changed the fuel pump on the wifes 2000 GMC and was a pretty simple fix except for draining the gas tank. The one time my wife actually fills up her car full of gas. I hate the smell of gas, had a headache for two days straight. I watched on youtube where people actually cut out the rear of the floor instead of lowering the fuel tank down. It takes a special kind of stupid to cut the metal floor out of your vehicle not the mention the support bracing that runs across vehicle to change the fuel pump like that.
