You could put a mud flap on the fender to block everything

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Truck related surprise!
Reinstalled the NV4500 in the 72 today after its rebuild. Came in afterwards and realized I left the phone in the shed so I ran back out to grab it and found a 5 foot black snake guarding the work bench. Good laugh for us that live in the country. |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Got the Dodge differential done yesterday . Not an easy job wrestling a 11.5 AAM on the ground by yourself . The rear I put in looked like new down to the rotors . But I test drove it and had a terrible shimmy when I hit the brakes . Ended up being the rotor but I changed out the axle . Think they bent it taking it out so if the dropped it hard enough to bend it didn't trust the axle either.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Okay, I was just confused how dropping a full float could bend the axle shaft?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Wife had the day off so I took the day off as well. We hiked to a waterfall we have never been to before, went to the gun range for a bit and then had lunch. After lunch we played a round of golf. Tired but it was a good day.

I thought about going to Pate, and backed out, but then again I still have my 65 Chevelle Convertible.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Picked up a knee scooter to ease the pressure off my post-surgical foot. Stitches come out Thursday. $50 off CL, barely used. Now I need to paint some flames on it so it'll go fast.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
What did I do today?
![]() I thought about cleaning the surface rust on my truck. Didn't do it. I thought about working on my Packard. Didn't do that either. I thought about cleaning my garage..Eh..No. I thought about making my wife a really nice dinner. Then I ordered a pizza. Then I thought about taking a nap...That one worked. ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish. Was going to use it with their powerball but I wasn't paying $27 for it, so I bought "polishing" cloth and did it by hand.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Found my valve noise on the 496 in my Chevelle #6 exhaust valve lock nut was loose causing the adjuster to back off . Only thing that stopped it from coming off it hit the valve cover. Cam looked perfect so I adjusted all the valves started her and no more clacking. Little strange as the motor was broke in on a dyno ran flawlessly.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Was troubleshooting the salt cell on my swimming pool as I thought the flow switch was out. Installed a new switch but still not showing flow. In my further troubleshooting there were some sparks involved and now the cell is dead. Oh well, I had checked it and it was at 80%+ life expended so I came in an ordered a new one. Was just hoping to put that off until later in the summer. They only last 4-5 years and this was was on year 5.
