Drove it to work and toasted the power steering pulley.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I shortened my exhaust, fixed a brake line (again) and contemplated notching my frame; how to, what type (C-notch, step notch) or Z-the frame. So many choices. I will post pics of the back of the truck soon- I cleaned the frame and it is BEAUTIFUL!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Made several attempts to fix a power steering leak near the pump. Everything is less than a year old, with no apparent source for the leak other than both hoses are wet. Attempted to tighten everything up, but there were no loose connections. Looks like the next step is to pull the pump and both hoses for closer analysis, which I was hoping to avoid.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Finished a few things over the last week or so (what can I say I work slow). Basically changed intake, distributor and cleaned up some of the wiring under the hood. Here's a before and after shot.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Overall the harness is done, still tying up a couple loose ends and installing the braid kit I got from painless to clean everything up. I thought the kit would have come complete but I had to purchase a couple things. Ground straps, front park lamp connectors, rear tail light connectors, battery cables. I had to reuse the original steering column connector but the kit does come with 2 late model steering wheel connectors if you have a late model column………..that’s a good thing cause I plan on changing mine later. There are no wires for the reverse lamps but there are wires on the harness for electric fan relay, engine temp, oil pressure, electric choke and under bed mounted gas tank. Everything fit perfect except the heater wire was about 6 inches short and one of the dash lights had a faulty crimp that I quickly fixed using my old harness. I had to replace the dome lamp, it was totally melted and the lens was stained with smoke, also the horn and I added a $6 light plate light for late model chevy trucks. While I was at it I added a coolant over flow tank. Overall I am happy with the job, it took a little longer than I thought but I had to order a couple things and instead of using the crimp type connectors painless provided I soldered and heat shrunk every spice.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
that looks like a really clean install. I did the same harness with wire loom, but need to clean it up how I ran mine.
