I pulled mine out of the garage (under it's own power.) for the first time in 15 years.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Got stuck last week at a show and thought my alternator went bad, but after having it check and they told me it was fine. Had to do more looking at why i wasn't getting power to my batteries. these pic's are what i found, good reason why i wasn't putting out 14 volts..... the bottom pic is of the 4 gage wire i used to get the power to the batteries! I don't understand why anyone would cut a wire and use a wire half it's size and leave it that way.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I have worked as a moble mechanic for a tree trimming company. and that type of thing was common on auction equiptment. it's the what ever it takes attitude of some people that don't think farther than a few minutes ahead.
Any way it's good to hear from you Ray! |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I changed the oil, and only managed to spill a quart this time. I adjust and bleed the front brakes. Started her up and drove her around the neighbor hood.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Spent two hours organizing the garage. It has taken a lot longer than I anticipated but will be well worth the effort this winter. It will be my first winter with an insulated, sheet rocked, and painted garage.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Got some woodworking projects out of the way. Determined that the fill tube from the wrecking yard probably will not work without modification and it has a lot of plastic parts that may not stand up to cutting and welding.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I got my condenser mounted and my X brace back in. I put the condenser as far in toward the radiator as the hard lines would allow, and made some one inch spacers for the top of the X brace and 3/4 inch spacers for the bottom, and bolted it back in. I'll have to move the radiator back slightly to clear the condenser but I have plenty of room since my truck was originally a six.
If you are installing a vintage Air setup like this don't go by the template that they supply to cut the holes for the lines. Get the condenser mounted first and then see where the holes need to be. Mine don't match the template. |
