drove to zmans house with an empty bed, drove home with it loaded down with scrap metal.

unloaded all the metal at home, then drove 45~ minutes north, and came home with a load of fire wood. pics in the am, im tired!

oh, also have used 150 worth of premium gas since thursday!

 

Good for you and yuck on the spiders.

On that run I actually didn't go down that far, 18f/15r. Sometimes i'll go to 12/10. Just depends on the trail and on occasion what I'm going for.

 

Video of earlier this year. A whole lotta driveshaft checking and no pulling cable.

DAT FLEX

 

Thanks. Talk about so much effort involved for such a small soft good.


The plus side of a shackle flip yo! You'll get there soon with yours, assuming you're gonna flex the rear.

 

Well, got a cel... checked codes, random misfire, and misfire on number six. Six had good spark, so, stuck a compression gauge in there. Zero..... 2 and 4 are at 60. I stopped testing at that point. New motor time. Not that I can afford it..... explains where my oil has been going too.

 

I have a 5.9 with 260k that you can have for REAL cheap

 

used it to go to the metal yard for zman, then drove it back to work. installing a different cam sensor in the morning, if i have time. then ill have to check fuel sync again.

 

Did an oil change and had to fix the leak in the waterneck once again.

 

Sold the rear seat, instrument bezel, and passenger front turn signal lens!!

 

took on a big job finally because the weather has been cooperating, but now I'm at a stand still because I broke an A/C line trying to short cut, so now I'm doing it the right way and am glad I'm doing it the right way.

Replacing the heater core in my truck, and now the evaporator core as well.

so the broken AC line is ordered as well as a new HVAC box drain seal as the old one is shot.

pulled the hvac box apart and found a nasty rats nest...explains the musty smell from the vents, as well as why my vents never really blew very hard...

I'll let the pics tell the story...

look at that! 13 year old original dash...flawless! not even trying to crack or showing any signs of even thinking about cracking!

In case you're wondering about the little white square on the dash, that is where my in-dash GPS navigation antenna mounts.


trying to figure out how to sneak the new heater core in there without breaking it.






ac line broke so I disconnected the lines and yanked the whole damn box out.



no hvac box on the firewall


Since I have to wait several days for a new A/C line, and since I have the thing out...figured I might as well take a look at the evap cores condition while I had this thing out...glad I did..


This explains the musty smell...

And explains the low air volume through the vents while the blower sounds like its working its *** off..


13+ years of dirt, gunk, pine needles, and one of the many mouse nests I've cleared out of the damn hvac box.

This heater/AC is gonna work real good after I'm through with it So glad I have a backup vehicle to fetch parts with and allow me to take my time with the Ram.
