Well Mine started.... Not bad but still....
Had to replace the U-joint on the front of the shaft - it was almost ready to break - it has been squeeking every once in a great while type of thing ... well not anymore it started SCREAMING at me the last time I drove the truck last week. And it started doing the clunk thing on top of it...
Yep when I got under there the cap was toast - it came out in pieces. The yoke had at one point been dropped on the ground because one loop was deformed a little on the outer edge (cleaned that up with a dremel sanding drum). To my surprise the Lifetime warranty MOOG greasable joint wasn't bad at all - under 20 clams.... I was surprised to see that it only had a one piece shaft I was expecting to find a two piece under there - must be because it's only a reg cab.
Then the glow plug relay started not making contact - I would have to cycle it a few times to get the internal contacts to actually pass electrons... So installed a starter solenoid this morning and bingo we are back in business. I also added a push button switch to the dash to control the relay - it's like Downtown now....
The morning was supposed to dedicated to wiring up the Headache stop/tail and turn lights but Oh no E3 said I want some other attention - I guess she has seen me wash - wax and polish the chrome on the bike too many times while she just sits there and I pay no attention to her....
