got a new wheel, 65 bucks shipped. used but new.

i like the wood look, think it might be more comfy palming it than the foam grant i have right now. palming the foam id get friction burn in the summer. plus wood looks bad ass.
probably need ad adapter for the truck, this one is for a mustang (dont know year). will have a proper horn button too finally!

a steering spline i believe is universal.
most of that is the same throu out most makes.
in all the vehicles ive delt with, ive never had a mis-matching spline count, except for older pre war models.

replaced the ront seal, it was definitly the seal that was leaking, finished the ewxhaust, got a nice mandrel bent 90 degree existing out behind the cab under the frame rail where it bends up. Adding my coolant filter, bolting up CAC brackets again, welded up a bung for EGT on the manifold. this will happen at some point during the week.

If it's a loud squeal I have had a relay make that noise, but it was old and dying... although some of the parts I have purchased form oriellys were old and dying pretty soon after purchase:rotflmao do you have a stereo? Not a speaker?

no stereo, its definitly coming from my GP and starter relay area. most likely a bunk relay from oreileys. life time warrantee...i hate swapping parts tho. ill take no warrantee, jsut make it frikkiun last 10 years.

i hate that sir, you can get this extended warrantee, or this part comes with FREE warrantee..i dont give a DAMN about a warantee, because a warrantee doesnt cover my damn time and effort.

my brake lights work now at least :D i get about 30 mins after work before wife comes home so i try to tackle small little projects. hey every step counts right! but i got the full weekend to work on it so im expecting good progress. I have to replace my steering shaft becuase i noticed the u joint is pretty worn on it. I got another spare. Ill put the new tilt column in same time.

PS i LOVE this website (no affiliation) http://www.clipsandfasteners.com/

got my zf5 reverse switfch clip from ehre and the washer pump plug., and a bunch of misc retainers for my lexus. Hoiping it comes today so my tail wiring section of the truck can be 100% wrapped up.
