Hey Brandon @05prerun82 , did you inspect your shoes? AutoAnything got 5% off Power Stop....AutoAnything™ - America's Auto and Truck Accessories SuperStore

 

Question for y’all. I want to add a little accent color to the black Betty. Nothing crazy but like khaki lettering on the trd pro grille I just ordered and maybe some vinyl on the hood and side. Thoughts? I haven’t seen any black tacos with khaki accent so I’m just curious

 

Can't say that I have....

 

Could possibly add some of the old school graphics to it, you would end up with 3 additional colors...?

 

Good afternoon everybody

 

A lot of work mark

 

I swear I'm going to run one of these softball players down one day they run out in the street in front of everybody to get to the softball field and when I'm texting in the school bus I don't ever see half of them

 

Threw a brisket on last night, dinner was great! Tender and Juicy too!

 

Maner competition

 

I wrench pinky up

 

Not hardly, a wood burner puts on some pretty good bark, and deeper smoke ring, a pellet grill is a lazy man's bbq, I just don't have the time and/or patience to mend a fire, maybe when I retire from retirement I'll do more wood burning bbq. Let's just say, I'm more busy now than when I did have to do the 7 to 3:30 Mon to Friday grind, maybe I should return to employment for a vacation, oh hell no, what was I thinking.

 

Oh so when one of your Saturdays is a Sunday your technically retire

 

I'm busy and building wealth in different ways, I still do some consulting work on the side and worked out a cattle lease today, just need some signatures and collect checks.

 

Yes something like that.
I try to do much less on Sundays, and we will probably return back to church this month.

 

Yeah when my daughter was 8 to 13 years old we used to go to a church group and do a Bible study but she lost interest at the age of 14

 

Evening everyone!



Bright spot for the day......

 

Looks brighter than me.

 

50$ later...

Those little M12x1 and M10x1 inverted fittings are hard to find and expensive when you do.


A gift from my father-in-law, it was his father’s kit.




Ready to bend to shape. Once the rest of my parts arrive, next Monday apparently.

 

I did those drips three times today, and I may do them yet again. But, tomorrow is the AC saga in the truck...
That has not made me happy.
I got it serviced and charged, and drove all over the place without an issue that day, and the rest of the week.
But, I did need to connect a wire I have left off when I rebuilt it - that connects to the AC coil, so fan runs when AC is on.
I had it connected to the relay, because the wire on the condensor was hard as hell to get to. But, Sunday, I went under, unplugged it, verified what I was looking for, and finally gave up trying to tap it there - simply not enough slack in the harness and no room to work. Plugged it back in....
I was using a terminal off the relay tab, and it was kind of flaky, so I firmed it up - tested it - and put it back in service.
Started it up, and that doesn't smell good! Checked everything, took the fan wire off again, and just checked the AC only.
Warm air, and the LED on the cab switch blinks......
Looked up the issue - most common is the relay, and I used to have a spare.... Ordered it.
Put some paint mark on the compressor, it doesn't spin.
Went under this morning, sprayed the heck out of the plug with contact cleaner, and make FIRM contact back on the compressor...
Test drive, same thing.
Testing with new relays that came today, tomorrow. Go from there.....
Glad it's not a hot week!
