fixed my PS leak. just the leaking hose so far though. haven't done the rest of it. still waiting on vacuum pump seal kit to come which will likely be next week, then I will replace the PS pump and the other 3 lines so hopefully after that my truck will actually have power steering from a dead stop and not be fighting the wheel to turn it

but at the very least, I'm not pissing out PS fluid every time I turn the wheel. (had a pinhole in the line that went from the hydroboost to the steering box)

Once I can keep it dry, I have to lift the carpet and see how bad the floor pan is... I can see the seat frame starting to rust, and the jack and jack mount has started in earnest.

Washed and waxed the old girl then promptly went and bought a half yard of compost. Probably should have reversed the order on that one. Also ordered a new set of headlights. Lens fell off of one of the factory ones.

Lotsa new folks posting in here. Welcome to the DF everyone. Post up some pics of your trucks in the 2nd gen picture thread.

I took my truck out to the beach this weekend, where Brittany's parents own a beach house. I did a little beach driving, a few pics in the thread linked above.

+1 on reversing that order! That's the way I would have done it!

Changed out RAWL sensor, hoping to eliminate annoying occasional light on dash. Had it in tool box for quite a while.....

Wolfie I am enjoying reading about your rust repairing, and am impressed with your determination to fix up that old Ramcharger. Why that one specifically? Do you plan to hold on to it for a while?

I want this ramcharger.
