What Did You Do To Your 2ND GEN RAM Today?
yesterday I replaced my other heater hose in an attempt to fix a coolant leak running down the firewall from where the lines hook up to the heater core...attempt failed, it was the original line I replaced a few months ago that is leaking again. so after work I need to go out there and try to shove the line further back and re-clamp it to see if it will hold this time. It's pissing a steady stream of coolant when the truck is running.
Also worked on the S-10 yesterday and fixed the rear diff leak. scraped off the gasket and used the wire-wheel on my bench grinder on the diff cover to get the gasket off of there. RTV'ed it back on and filled it up with limited slip gear oil. also verified that it does have a limited slip rear.
Then discovered the spring broke on the passenger side seat belt in the S10, and the attempt to remove the seat belt bolt failed...stupid torx head bolt stripped out, so gonna need to weld a bolt to the top of it and use a large wrench against the bolt to get the other bolt out...be one more swap from the parts donor truck lol...

Used my truck to haul these free Cerwin Vega LS10 floor speakers and RCA 5.1 surround sound speakers I found on the list of craig. I just hope free doesnt equal broken lol. I replied to an ad for just some surround sound speakers that "should work." And was later told that another set of surround sound speakers (not pictured) and the LS10s would be there for the taking as well, if I wanted. Of course anything free sounds good to me.
Just gotta wait for my (free) AV receiver to arrive. A family member has a new one that they've never used and don't want it so I'm taking it off their hands.
Here's the setup minus the AVR and a free powered sub. Gonna make a table for the TV then build shelves off the side of the table to hold the LS10s. And of course the 5.1 speakers wont be setup like that once all hooked up.

I bought it off craigslist for $300 to swap on to the S10 cause it was limited slip and it had rear disc brakes. direct bolt on replacement with the exception that you need to have custom made ebrake cables...still haven't gotten around to doing that yet..
'Murricans, in their "infinite superiority", love to replace band clamps with their so-called SUPERIOR screw type clamps and torque them so tight that cracks or severe stress is imposed on the plastic parts which -- YEP, lead to leaks and the eventual replacement of parts that were otherwise not damaged.
Proper diagnosis, kid. That's the name of the game.
