Today I flushed my power steering fluid and topped it off with Lucas p/s. Added another 1/3 of Lucas transmission additive and soaked my back door handle with PB blaster with the hopes of being able to open my back door but no dice. Checked my oil, the Rotella 15w-40 is really holding up well along with the Mobil 1-301 oil filter. No noticeable oil leaks on the pavement under my truck. Checked Copland level and it's holding well too. Next weekend I plan on doing a brake bleed.

 

Replaced the Brake light switch so now it comes out of park, and added silicone sealer to the cracks in the rubber gaskets around the rear windows to keep the water/ice out this winter. Got the local locksmith to make some spare keys. Now if the serpentine belt would come in, I would replace that too.

 

Basic oil change w hi detergent diesel oil and a over sized wix filter. Have had so much trouble after a bad mechanic replaced the seals. Keeping my fingers crossed she will keep on going. Replaced two computers and fuel relays following the work. Sad to say spent more fixing his mess than I paid for her. Hopefully I can nurture. If I could figure out what happened to my fuel gauge? Does not work any more.. running on mileage.. any ideas.

 

Not complaining but that was all after the embolization system had to be replaced, and two window motor. But had 6 great years of no major issues. I guess everything caught up with me this year.

 

Found my brake fluid leak, help.

Installed my Fox 11" shocks up front and 12" shocks our back. Also installed the RTE rear upper mounts, and replaced the rear drive flange bolts with Grade whatever(10, 12.9, IDK).
But most exciting was that I fired my truck up for the first time since September and actually got to drive it!!! Woohoo!!

 

swore at it again, this time for throwing yet another p1178 code

 

replaced the serpentine belt, I ran the truck without the belt and my lights did NOT flicker. when I put the belt on, they went back to the flickering. Guess it might be time for an alternator, or at least a new diode/regulator. It still charges great, just makes the headlights flicker a little. Not too worried about it as it still puts out 14.4 volts but it is on the list.

 

Not so much what I did but just got hit head on by a drunk driver.My nine year old was with me .Everyone is ok.Thank god I drive that tank.Sitting in a urgent care now waiting to get checked out.

 

Holy crap scope. Ill be praying for you man.


I just got all the parts for my swivel job. Tackling that in the morning
