It has begun......

 

Cut down some oak trees today to have clear line of sight to the Wireless AP, used the Ram to pull the logs up to the house, the top of the tree went into the ditch/creek as it was close to the road, that was a little bugger to pull out, but the old girl did great!

Edit:

Maybe it was because of the weight of the tree against the rear of the truck, but I had both rear's pulling all the time No one wheel drive today!

 

The bumper originally was built for a 2nd gen, and it looked good. I adapted it and built custom brackets to put it on my Power Wagon, but now I am trying to sell the PW and I want something like that for my Ram anyway.


Stewie, my '72 performs awesomely in the snow.

 

So it wasn't today but last friday I was in the process of replacing the lower seals on my steering box when I got hit out for a working structure fire. So I left my truck in the driveway with the pitman arm disconnected and most of the old seals out.

When we get to the fire it turns out to be nothing but a vacant crack house with fire in one room. Me and my partner were told to make entry through the back of the house but the sliding door was locked. I used my axe WITHOUT wearing gloves to break the glass...5 hours later I'm leaving the emergency room with stitches in my index and middle finger. I bled like a stuck pig all over that house.

Now for the happy ending: (cause all stories have happy endings right? haha) the next day i managed to put everything back together and fix the leak with no help, just me, myself and my stitches.

I was quite proud of myself

Next week i'm doing rotors and pads

 

Finished cutting up the oak trees we cut down the other day, loaded all the wood I kept into the Ram, (burned the twigs and crap), talk about riding LOW in the rear...... It was a fresh cut, the fattest pieces weighed around 50lbs each, I'd guess around 600lbs or so loaded into the bed.

 

Replaced my 6 day old tps under warranty, now the truck runs well again.

 

Again? Seems like a habit

 

2nd time, first was in billings MT on the 12th, and it took a dump soon after I put it in. So I took it to my local Oreilly's and had them give me a new one. For once I was glad I bought at a nationwide chain store...

 

Decided to take a shot at installing some cab lights just for the hell of it.

 

Not today, but yesterday. Had ABS warning light on. I was 200 miles south of home, and 200 miles north of my destination...and no tools. Took to Brake Check and had brakes bled. (after arguing about guy about having to pull wheels off). Bleeding fixed the problem. Thinking about rebuilding master cylinder soon. Brake fluid was dark looking.
