Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
About 30 miles. But I had to get a ride to go get a trailer. So it ended up being over 60. The truck is home in the garage waiting for tear down.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
All I did today to mine was just drive it
![]() I wanted to take some pictures of it as I'm thinking about selling it to replace it with a 2008 Mustang GT. ![]() ![]() ![]() Spent ages writing an ad which I put on a hot rod forum in the UK and the only responses have been from people saying 'don't do it, Mustangs are 10 a penny but where in the UK will you find another truck like that'. I think they may be right ![]() |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Loss of power, got up to 225, started knocking and shut off. I just did a compressing test. All had 150 except #3it had under 125. I'm hoping that its something in the head only.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Drove it something like four and a half hours to Summit and back to pick up the new floor pans for my Impala...spent about two hours of that baking in traffic @ a humid 90-93º.
On the positive side, I did get a nice $290 steel flywheel for $80 from the scratch and dent shelf. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I started installing my AAW Classic Update Kit. They include eveything. Unbelieveable! With the great instructions and their tech support, this should go fairly well . . . . which means I'll get my truck on the road ON SCHEDULE!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
What you see in the pics came that way right out of the box. The kit even includes a bag of sample wire terminals so you can practice crimps. I have every confidence that this will go well.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
That AAW kit is sure nice, and buying those crimpers is a good idea. I used that kit and bought similar crimpers myself. Made the install for a wiring noob possible, and it turned out well. Pretty intimidating when you first start, but it's like eating an elephant, one bite at a time. I did the headlight relay update at the same time.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I swapped out my 3 row radiator for a 4 row. The 3 row wasn't cooling good enough for me and after the A/C is installed it is going to get worse. The first pic is the 3 row and the 2nd is the 4 row. I had to widen the mounts to get it to fit And In the last picture I got my new tires mounted and am waiting to put them on.. I am ready for my trek to LA next Friday.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I took my boy shane out for his first ride in HIS 64 c10. He absolutely loved it. Also installed a 40 series flowmaster hooked up to the 292. Sounds amazing
