heres some more motivation

 

god bless that truck's sneeze

well if i'm going to start removing parts for a 2J, might as well start with the muffler i guess

it's a starting point right?

 

starting point yes. but 10/10 would sound way better with the needle in the red area

 

Crazy I had no idea you can record with a straight up potato, in 2019.

What is the data plan cost on the fuzzy, blurry, starchy thing?

 

after 3 revisions, template with the 3rd gen holes is done. just gotta cut out my stuff and i can send it along

 

so much work, but i'll be plotting out a 1:1 PDF for you guys come Monday, that way if you have the sanity to print it out and work on it, at least we'll be able to.

 

Very nice work

 

Send me a copy of the new template for the second gen

 

Some of you might find good overlanding stuff or machine/fabrication shop stuff here:

I'm sending it to @sorgon82 first whenever we decide to do the hand off for it.

Though the template i got from @honkonbobo only had some holes for the bottom half for what i assume is the the 2nd gen layout, so you'll need some finesse to find the other holes up top.
I did fuck up a little but but noted it in the template that i'm going to scan, but on the 3rd gen there is an electrical cable (right of the first photo) that needs a notch cut into it to allow for it. I did the driver side first and ended up cutting the notch on both sides

driver side;



passenger side;



the factory clips in the earlier photos i posted are only holding them (just barely) to show off everything assembled, but the actual fartsners that i used are GM Radiator fasteners from Part Source (Part# 247-411)
(there are 2 that look very similar; one that's a little thicker and with a smooth shell, and the other is thinner but ribbed for her pleasure - the ribbed one is too thing and won't hold, you want the thicker smoother one)
wanted to give a different clip a try just to add to the knowledge that we as a group have i took the dive of paying $25 for 20 of these bastards

 

Last nights campsite,

 

Is that the ardbeg?

 

Oh man there was some stuff there.

 

Yes,
I knew someone would know where that was .

 

Yeah, they built travel vans and trailers for years. It’s too bad they went bankrupt.

 

Ok... Truck developed a whine sounding an awful lot like the power steering pump. I swapped it out yesterday. Fluid was purple. I'll be doing a flush today. Still have that fucking whine though. What else could it be? I've sprayed all be idler pullies with silicone lube to see if it'll help.

 

I think @Manfred had a similar issue that turned out to be the alternator and possibly the idler bearings if I remember correctly.
