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 ?
Got her out from under a half-broken camper, out of the driveway after moving one Jeep and jump starting another, across a small ditch & out on the street to be picked up next Saturday.
Here she is as I last saw her: [IMG] ![]() Last edited by yossarian19; 09-24-2012 at 01:02 AM. |

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.
