    So what did you do with your truck today?

    So I had a small set back. For some reason the water pump that was good when I did the engine tear down, clearly didn't appreciate the clean up and fresh paint. It never passed pressure check( technically vacuum test) So installed a new one. Fill the system using this gagetIt uses compressed air...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    See, now these are things that I don't remember to think about. Most because, even though I can manage to do a lot of things, that Eelektrisical is like VooDoo magic to my poor brain

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Thank you! I truly do appreciate you saying that. I tried to plan everything out well when I got started in earnest planning on rehabbing this ol' boy. I am pretty proud of how it is turning out. Hopefully it runs :)

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    So I have all the guts back in the ol' boy and all the wiring. Been a long road, just about a year ago I started disassembling it and had the Dana 50 rebuilt, the transmission and xfer case rebuilt. The motor I had machined added new heads and I rebuilt it with all new internals minus crank and...

    Complete performance offers this, I think you can by just the plug mount by itself without the charger https://cpaddict.com/products/block-heater-bumper-plug-kit?_pos=4&_psq=plug&_ss=e&_v=1.0

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    It is actually already premade with the two pigtails. the body of it is all one molded piece with the plug to the outlet being a second piece that is also the gasket backing it. I have went back and forth about where to put it. didnt really want to cut a hole there, could have used the bumper...

    Rock Auto, scam on shipping?

    Just hasn't been my experience so far :dunno I still check them for pricing when ever I have big ticket items or larger orders. If they ever end up being cheaper for what I need I would use them

    Rock Auto, scam on shipping?

    I don't know if RA was ever more affordable. I have put together several project lists on there but shipping cost always seem to destroy any benefit of product cost savings. I already have Prime so my shipping costs are zero from there, so long as I can find the parts brand I am wanting. I like...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    It is Ford's Medium Lapis Blue Metallic. I really like the color. This was my old neighbor's kids truck that he kind of just drove the crap out of and wore out. I bought it for 3k about 10 years ago because I liked the color and I needed a cheap truck. That opened up the whole IDI- wholly crud...

    Can't wait to hear how you like them. You are going to see much better

    New age headlights

    I don't think you did. They look like they are made pretty much the same way. Probably at the same place lol. At that price they are cheaper than Sulvania silverstar halogens

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I doubt it changes anything performance wise. It is smooth inside. The outside is just decoration, but i like it :)

    New age headlights

    @ttman4 I have had good luck with this brand but a different application/size. They have a built in cooling fan. I have not had one fail yet

    Put the 4" exhaust with a sweet muzzle suppressor tip I was gifted. Have to get some better adjustable hangers to finish it right

    Gunson 7708 Timing Adaptor

    I put in an order for that Tiny tach 4300 set about a month ago. Still waiting on it. I called and talked to them, seemed like they were trying to get some new "boards" ready to go. Made it seem like I should have it by now but no. They were going to call this week too but, no dice

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Rebuilt the power steering pump. It's the original ford one so I didn't want to lose it word of caution. Beware of what they named the springs and slippers. That's what is in the green dish. All cleaned up and sealed up and ready to go back in
