I would rock that.

 

Touching the teens here by the end of the week. Plugged in the van to see if it burns down or helps with starting. It's like an electric car but with two plugs...

Wait is every 3 months a lot?

Gah I bought a used a.rack from a member here and it immediately started leaking like my old one. Pain in the ass job so I guess we be leaking forever.

 

I bought an OEM reman and it took 3 tries for one to get here intact.

Still doesn't work right and I've bled the hell out of the system, new crush washers on pump, two aftermarket rebuilt pumps, one OEM pump I resealed and cleaned the filter screen on, and all new power steering hoses. Besides the high pressure hose, so I guess that's next. Just can't go OEM since it's like $400.

 

It's getting cold in the mountains tonight we are down to 20° already.

 

Uncle bought another 7.3 f350… but with a manual. Yay me… more fucking diesel shit to ruin my day. Lol. Runs good for $2500. Need new shackles and shackle mounts. Master cylinders shot too so no brakes. But it’ll be a nice winter beater for him.

 

The gates one seems well built ( only purchased, not installed) and it was around 170


My first parts job I was gates dealer... never had any issues with what they made

 

Oh yea. Came with a fucking borderline brand new plow too. Crazy good deal. Engine has 32k miles, transmission 50k

 

It’s snowing here. Yaaaaaaaaaay.

 

tomorrow for us... how fun... ugh was hoping for at least 2 more weeks without it to get more done.. but here we are

 

We got it last week, no more wrenching till spring.

 

eh. i've got 2 heated garages i can work in.. or a whole ass shop with a lift.

speaking of which. i have a torque converter job to do sunday at said shop

 

Man, already missing that cool air.

 

I wish I could help but mine always bleeding, I have the original pump with 35s and original hoses as 215k miles. Helps mines a garage queen I suppose.

 

Gas heat in both or electric?

 

gas heat in one. radiant heat in the other fed by a boiler.

 

Someday I'll have a shop. But not to work on other peoples stuff.

 

It feels way colder tonight my back felt like it wanted to lock up from the cold.

 

That’s how I make my money lol

 

Damn the thread got locked before I could make it out to Orange County to be learned on how to avoid punctuation at all costs and do cleghorn in 2wd with so many shocks it’ll blow your mind

 

Also I forgot to tighten a caliper bolt and now I have master cylinder to bleed. Critical blunder!
