lets see... went to do front brakes... ended up doing all the tie rods and balljoints... oh and both outer u-joints... so now along with the rebuilt rear end i shouldnt have anything in the divelive that is weak.

 

right?!

old starter failed because it was about to fall off! apparently the bolts decided to back themselves off and it was barely holding on.

I used some blue locktite on the bolts this time so that is less likely to happen again. one of the bolts was missing though... gonna have to order it from mopar online (cheaper than the stealership)

 

installed my "new" grille, and grille support today. got it from gary-l, thanks!



also, i installed a new trans cooler. trucool 47391. this thing is massive!



havent done much with the ole girl lately. shes been sitting a lot lately.

lost my job at walmart... instead of disciplining the correct person(native american), they looked or excuses to get rid of me instead. kinda bullspit if you ask me!

 

Lawyer up!

 

nope, just gonna suck it up, and deal with it... gonna finally get my GED, and get a REAL job!

i plan on having a full time mechanics job within the year, i may even lease a garage, and go into business for myself.

 

What did I do to my ram today? I put the old girl to work! Pulled some good sized birch and jackpine logs out the bush with it, then cut it up and loaded up the box and drove home. The logs put up a good fight, especially in the snow but the ram won. Unloading it shortly

 

Removed pretty much everything on the front of the 318 and everything is disconnected. In 2 or 3 days I'll be able to take out the 318 and put in the 360. Anybody have any tips?

 

Got a new wind shield today, dodged some State Police, and got the truck inspected

 

Glad you didn't RAM them

 

Yeah?
