Had the same happen with the new motor the other day. Had me worried for a second.

 

Minor updates

 

hauled my buddies boat to the gas station and back it actually hauled something for once this year!

 

replaced the passenger front hub bearing tonight. got done just in time... just barely beat out a thunderstorm.

only takes me 20~ minutes to change out a bearing... fun times!

now i gotta replace the tank straps, put a cat on the jegs off road y pipe, and put a different muffler on it. also need to finish the body work. should pass inspection after that!

 

Went and looked at some rims and a cowl hood today (pricey). For the hood I think I'll peak in the LMC catalogue. K. Not sure why, but recieved a second LMC catalog in the mail (timely).

Edit: Ran the 99 diesel in for a replacement solenoid/auto trans. and dropped it off (8/05). He's going to put it on the machine, but it's the second time I've toasted this one.

Edit2A: Still await word on the 99. Mileage on 98 running 89 Octane city 11.4 mpg's. Now the truck for sale, running 13.6 mpg's city. Fixed the 99 diesel, bad wiring on TPS feed to PCM. Now putting in two high amp batteries on the 99.

 

decided to sell my dana 60/70 axles... going to be gettign a new truck soon anyway...

found out the truck needs new plug wires. misfiring a bit after a heavy rain yesterday... oh well!

 

Whattareya lookin' at for a new truck?

 

3rd gen 2500.. 03-06 range...

 

There is one around here for sale for 3500..... but, needs 'engine work'. I interpreted that to mean "needs an engine".... Still and all, even tossing a motor at it, it would still be worth more than I would have invested... Just don't have the scratch to buy it, and a motor. Otherwise, I would be stylin' an 03 four door 3/4 ton.

 

5.7 hemi from the jy is going from 1500 to 2000+ theyre not cheap! most 3rd gen 3/4 ton quad cabs hemis are going from 5-12k here. some have a bit of rust, others are clean...
