I was wondering what you were up to, but with a kid coming in May that question is answered. Don't be a stranger, or at least no stranger than I am.

Found a vacuum leak in the climate control line... it had chafed through on the opening where it goes through the firewall... I cut the line and slid some small ID rubber tube over it to make the joint, and then tucked the rubber partly into the firewall opening.
The mixer/blender door now works again.

I checked the Catch-Can (last weeks install), and there was a little oil in there, so it's doing its job.

In a further attempt to solve the water leak into the passenger floor-pan, I removed the loose pieces of silicone at the end of the rear window track, taped over the gap and put a wedge of closed cell foam into the track... I then poured the dammed off area full of black silicone sealer... I'm guessing some of it was going under the track and heading for the weep-holes, as the level subsided after a while... I let it setup for a bit then topped it off... tomorrow I'll remove the tape and foam, and see what I ended up with... then wait for the next rail and see if it worked.

Picked up 3 ricks of firewood today with the 3/4 ton. Handled it well even in the snow and mushy ground.

Notice no squat in the rear. Monroe trac load coilover rears are holding up great.

Did you check the others? They might be covered in ash but won't be as bad. You most likely have a cat going out on you...

Today I rolled over 253000 in the '93. I have already put about 1500 miles on it after owning it 1 1/2 months. Seems like a lot but maybe not.

Man, you guys are lightweights. I bought my Ram with 114K on the clock, rebuilt the engine a year later, and then put another 106K on it inside of five years.

Haha you gotta remember I bought mine when it had over 95,000 on it, only had it for 8 months, and is not the only vehicle I drive. I'm just trying to hold out on doing the plenum anytime soon.
