Default What a day

Well it keeps getting better today, along with the issues of the truck running in the wet weather I have received my intermediate steer column today.

After about 45 minutes to get the old one out and then went to install the new one from e-bay it doesn't fix F.

The new one is about 1 inch to long at the point where it goes to the steering wheel the lower part is good.

Looks like they just pressed on a mounting bolt at the top and I was able to remove it. Tomorrow I will cut the upper down about a inch then I will re-press the bolt sleeve and weld it on place all should be good.

Man keep an eye on the stuff from China.

Well a little bit of cutting and welding and everything is good again.
