So what did you do with your truck today?

[Nero]

Picked up a bunch of siding for my shed I'm building. Nothing fancy, but dang wood is still pricey right now.

You know what I think of people who do deletes? Scared of emissions. Same with the guys who would take their fuel injection off of their chevys and carburate them. Scared of wiring haha

After approximately four years with a slow leaking oil cooler, the undercarriage rust proofing process is now complete, so I installed a new cooler & gaskets. Actually notice a difference in oil pressure.

That's beautiful....

Thanks.

I've been so busy doing 50 hour weeks I've neglected my truck....

I did u joints last weekend, but only because I absolutely had to for work.

Today my front left caliper started knocking, its super loose and the guide pins had fallen out.

Looks like I'll be doing my brakes this coming weekend.

I plan on doing my transmission on my 4.9 then once it's reliable, parking the ol' 7.3 IDI. Hopefully once I park it I can start disassembly and fix some major stuff.

Passive restoration. It's kinda like "Christine" but slower and less deadly.

Edit: if you don't know what Christine is, it's a Steven King novel where a really ugly Plymouth Fury fixes itself up and kills people........kinda stupid...... reeaaaalllly ugly car.

I did the math and to completely rebuild a f250, engine, transmission, every single darn bushing and bearing, your looking at no more than 10-15k. That includes paint and a turbo kit. I'm still saving up for that. I got $150 towards it so far

Cheaper than a new truck. If you want to "feel" like you have a truck payment, pawn the title to fund the rebuild.

Good idea, I didn't know you could do that
I would probably not do that....

It's certainly NOT a good idea, but they're supposed to outlaw internal combustion engines by 2030. So you might need to get on the ball.

That's what I say is, "having all the right rust in all the right places".

I'm just quoting the conspiracy theory guys. The "world economic forum" had a meeting and decided our dino-powered toys gotta go....... just before they got in their individual private jets and used more fuel than I do in a year.
