What did you do today not on your truck... - Page 84 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Oh and what I did today. I Put the plow back on the Dodge and had to move my Envoy . The PS started growling and i got out to the front of it and PS fluid all over the gravel . Thought a line went but apon closer inspection the cooler on the bottom of the rad support was spewing out from the center . Got a GM one coming 186 bucks my cost and I'll bet it's made on the same line in China as the 89 dollar one .

That brings up a question. Why is it car makers never put power steering coolers on passenger vehicles for decades until fairly recently? Do today's cars really heat up ps fluid enough to need a fluid cooler?

Most likely because they work the power brakes also

I thought I listed it high for a bronco with technically no VIN(PO cut out the vin on the swapped frame) at $9k but apparently not.

I bought a 4 wheeler today. 2022 Yamaha Kodiak 700. Never owned a 4 wheeler before. We have about 5 acres of open ground next to my shop and we are going to build some food plots.
Should be fun.

**special-K** · 03-13-2022, 07:47 PM

Just bumming around all weekend. It was snowing and blowing yesterday and been cold. I couldn't shift gears to some small projects inside. Good way to get fat. Brownies yesterday and truffles tonight.

TALLone71 · 03-13-2022, 08:11 PM

we had the same snow and wind yesterday, I did get a good amount of work done on my 71 yesterday, today was just off, still windy and cold but clear skies, nobody was out, I guess the weather and time change maybe!..i worked on some lawn equipment, went and got a battery for my lawn tractor, and some supplies from the hardware store to fix a table, nothing exciting

..dreading the thought of getting up early to go to work tomorrow!

**Boog** · 03-13-2022, 08:45 PM

30* windy and snow friday. Sun and 40 saturday. 60 and sunshine all day today. My daughter came in late from south Louisiana with 3 dogs in friday's snow. What a change of weather for her. House full here. They left today.

**Steeveedee** · 03-13-2022, 09:30 PM

Working on a wood chest. Got tired of switching the grits of sandpaper on the worn out sanding block and made 5 new sanding blocks. Put on a coat of mystery varnish. Also made a "tool" so that I can put the sandpaper into it and tear off the right size- 1/3 sheet. No pics, the finish isn't finished.

**Stocker** · 03-13-2022, 11:00 PM

Scrounged some firewood yesterday, got it split & stacked in the woodshed today.

Just in time for summer.

I shouldn't laugh. I did the same thing a couple days ago. I'm good on firewood until next year. It's already warming up here (73 degrees today)and some trees are starting to bloom. It's still cold at night. But it's not as cold. My firewood should last and it has time to really dry out. Older wood is the best. At least that's what I tell my wife.

I always cut early so it has time to season before burning. Actually I'm usually a couple years or so ahead.

Does she believe it? Do you believe it?

67ChevyRedneck · 03-14-2022, 02:12 PM

I would think it would depend on it being a hardwood or a softwood?

I can't seem to find hardwood like I used to years ago.

It's harder to come by eh?

You got that right.

I got plenty of hardwood. I got nowhere to put it!

72c20customcamper · 03-15-2022, 12:29 PM

Did my last batch of maple syrup yesterday . Replaced the PS cooler on the envoy while was u der the truck neighbor came by asked if I would be willing to take down some dead ash on the property line and his field . None have any dangers around them so should be easy to drop . About 15 mature trees so maybe 10 cord of usable wood . Also I'll be dropping a large cherry as it's pretty busted up from an ash that fell on it

1slo64 · 03-15-2022, 01:34 PM

Picked up my new daily yesterday. 34mpg and I was able to find one with a manual transmission.

**leddzepp** · 03-22-2022, 12:25 AM

Having 2 barn style sheds built. First one went up today, roof, doors, and window will be finished up tomorrow. Then I will paint them to match the house.

**FleetsidePaul** · 03-22-2022, 07:32 PM

I "fixed' my wife's Porsche today. Not much of a job. The battery went dead because she never drives it.

So. It was a nice day and I thought I'd put the top down and take it for a spin. One problem. My Thunderbird was parked behind it and that battery was dead on that one too.

The refrigerator was working just fine. So I called it a day and grabbed a cold one.

I'll fix the other one tomorrow.

**special-K** · 03-23-2022, 12:07 AM

I got back to my barn move a bit today. I laid the block for the connector walls on the "move to" side. Next I'll remove the temporary posts on both sides so the building will be sitting on the connector walls, which are same height as new foundation the buildin will rest on. I'll take as picture tomorrow.

I sure do like to do things the hard way. What have I been thinking trying to move this building by myself? I should just call on some friends
