I managed to fix my drivers window motor and converted the pass side to power window. Only the front doors though. Next up is to find some oem lock actuators...

Hey catbird pay special attention the week or two after. My 4 core from Champion had a slow leak from the middle from day one. But it took a week or a bit more before I knew for sure it was in fact the radiator core with an issue and not something else (slow hose seep or something).

Thanks for the "Heads-Up" Matt_INW! I'll certainly check things out.

Actually yesterday...New set of Motorcraft ZD1A's and a reconditioned set of Group 31 Batteries. Batteries are warrantied for a year and cost $50 each...I have one for the 12k winch on the trailer that is still going strong for over two years.

Glow plugs removed were Motorcraft as well so only had to fight some carbon build up.

Are those specific to the 84 in your sig? I kind of like the spade ends on those better than the bullet ends.. easier to find connectors for those.

Yes the harness I have is for the spade type. Can be a pita though since they only fit on one way and they don't provide much extra wire when having to twist and get it on there just right.

Yesterday I got the 6 bolts undone from the parts truck bed so I can remove it. It was a 50/50 deal 1 broke/ 2 cut off and 3 unscrewed. Hopefully this weekend I can get the bed off my crew cab. (but that depends on if I'm working this weekend) I need to fix my pick ups tubes in both tanks 1/4 tank is empty for me.:backoff

Tonight I picked up a free camper shell. It has some small issues but nothing I can't fix.

Went on the normal drive to work this afternoon nothing different driving along drinking my coffee going about 55 when my left drivers side tire disintegrated. The truck dropped down on the rim making it into the shape of a egg, my feet got blow off the peddles by something hitting the floor of the cab the back end kicked out and the front was bouncing up and down some where around 2ft in the air at a time. Lots of horrible noises and choice words later i found my self sitting in someones yard, my tire a mile behind me and multiple chunks taken out of the pavement. I turned the engine off took a drink of what was left of my coffee and sat there not wanting to look at my truck, lets just say it aint going to be moving for quite some time. What did i do in my truck today......destroyed it.
