So what did you do with your truck today?

[The Warden]

My truck got to work

After getting a new block heater in last week (still holding up well, BTW), I was tasked with pulling a trailer for the Sea Scout group that I work with. The trailer's full of equipment for an event that was held this last weekend...the trailer was replaced, but I weighed the old trailer with my truck, and the whole rig was 14K lbs this trailer's a bit bigger, so it probably weighs slightly more.

Truck handled like a champ...no speed records, but all was nice and happy at 55 mph

Here's the truck and trailer:

Braze a price over the hole. Lol

Not much here today. Just adjusting my rears and checking on some things.
Known about it for awhile, but this is my passenger rear axle front spring mount.

Also my drag link has a bit too much play.
My new balljoints and old regreased wheel bearings are still tight. Glad about that. Lol
Also looking like my front and rear main seals are seeping a bit, and maybe the oil pan. (Psd)
I'm still getting a slight pop/clunk in my front end somewhere. Probably the spring bushings. Only happens when I've braked hard going forwards then brake hard in reverse. Or vise versa.
I think I'm hearing a slight squeal every now and again. Probably the ujoint I just changed not long ago. Cheapo Duracrap ujoint. Only reason same brand went back in is it was warranted, and couldn't afford the spicers. They're all still tight though.

If you replace them later get a Precision - I've had great luck with them, and they aren't terribly pricey.

affirmative.

 

[79jasper]

I've read a little about the precisions. Supposed to be pretty good.
But iirc, I had found the spicers for cheaper.
I like the way mig looks. I mean some stick can look pretty good also.
Have you ever heard of someone's ecu/TCM/idm/etc being fried from welding on the vehicle without disconnecting the batteries?

You can fry electronics while welding On a vehicle, it's not limited to just controllers of sorts, it can also harm radios etc. However if you have grounded the welding area well there shouldn't be any problems. Most of the time I've heard of failed electronics they didn't ground it properly. It so happened a guy even blew up his battery... I personally have never had a problem.

Nice. Lol
Just curious if anyone had seen it firsthand.

It can fry things if the proper precautions aren't taken. I weld on the back bumper of my service truck all the time but I do always unhook computers, alt's, and batteries when welding on a machine. I also ground to the same piece that I am welding on. You should see what an arc inside of a pin bore on a piece of equipment can do.

On the IDI, I took the headache rack off and put it on craigslist. Its getting a canopy..

On the PSD, it got the napa 6637 filter swap in prep for a better exhaust and other stuff down the road.

i just avoid the possibility of blowing up a computer by putting this on the battery. it soaks up whatever spikes go through the system

 

[79jasper]

What is that? Lol
