    The 89 lipstick on a Pig

    So with all this extra time I have while working so far from home I take whatever time off we have that I don’t go home to work on cleaning up this 093 turbo kit. I put some MEK on the factory air box to strip the rest of the paint off. I polished the down pipe for some stupid reason. And...

    The 89 lipstick on a Pig

    So for Christmas before I knew the wife got me gauges (with my own money…) I went and tried something I haven’t done I bought recaps (brand new) I got on Treadwrites website and there they were, a full set of “blemished” recaps that were nearly the size I wanted for a absolute steal. So charge...

    The 89 lipstick on a Pig

    So while drunk web surfing I found a guy who makes these awesome custom dash bezels. Originally he made them to fit a bricknose dash fit a double din radio. I just asked if he could make me one to fit 4-5 rocker switches and 2 power ports l. In less then 10mins he had a fender that was damn...

    The 89 lipstick on a Pig

    I plan to take it as far as the turbo Russ built me will take it. Maybe upgrade a bit down the road. But this is legit a work/lifestyle truck. It HAS to work to keep its place. Haul hay, horses, my camper I travel ALOT for work, I’m a marine side Piledriver by trade so I follow to barge crane...

    The 89 lipstick on a Pig

    Now for a bit of a bash On 8/4/22 I ordered a 3g alternator kit from CDD (before I knew about the guy) On 8/8/22 it was supposedly delivered, but this is where it gets funky. My mail carrier had not put it in the parcel locker in which it for sure would have fit in, so they sat it next to the...

    The 89 lipstick on a Pig

    So I drove it the rest of the summer with just 2nd and 3rd only just happy to finally have a crew cab 4wd. I did learn right as fall hit that not only does the windshield leak but the wipers killed themselves, so finally 2 wiper motors later and they kinda work (I will some day get around to...

    The 89 lipstick on a Pig

    Whelp here it all starts, I forgot to even start this thread when I got the truck but Russ (Type4) reminded me that I need to be out here reading more stuff from the community and stay active. So here he sat the weekend I bought him, bought down in Mill City, OR for 1700$ with a bad trans (only...

    Electrical draw

    I will be doing that once I go back to work, something about working in a "hydrological event" doesn't appeal even if the wipers barely work. It is brand new, I am having 2 other rebuilt by a local electrical rebuilder for spares. I just happen to own 3 bricks so it's always nice to have small...

    Electrical draw

    You able to use yer fancy meter to pull the wipers draw as well? I don't have one of them unless I'm at work, but work has been busy as hell, so there has been hardly any time for me to mess with my stuff.

    Electrical draw

    I am getting a heavy draw with just my wipers on a brand new wiper motor (like draws a 130amp alt down to 12.1v running) I am also getting a substantial draw from the heater. The wipers work great for about 5mins then I can only barley get them to run on highest setting. Does any one know the...
