    Yeah it helps when kids do the pumping. Everything feels good again. I also adjusted the valve. Hopefully it last longer then two days. :anonymous:

    Ok. Just asking because I saw few people say that they needed to be sealed because water got inside them. Even them being new.

    I finally got around to fixing the core support right. Thanks to Corey at Insain Fab for letting me use his shop and tools. Using a mig was a lot better then trying to stick weld it. Everything is back to normal and the front end lines up a whole lot better now.

    Now until the truck gets a proper build with an engine cage and rear long travel. No more foolishness with jumping. Plus I need spare splindles ready to throw in if something major happends.

    I can't believe I had this battery holder since 2015 and now I'm barely going to throw it in. I ordered battery cable and a bunch of other stuff to relocate my battery to the bed.

    Wouldn't it be easier to take a new, current picture, rather than scroll thru 2 years of posts to find that screen shot? :rofl:

    I cleaned my MAF sensor and put in a new air filter. Then I also changed the fuel filter. It could be a blessing and a curse where I have it located because of trying to line up the copper crush washer. I had to use a mirror to line up the washer.

    :cheers: James. What happened was the front core support welds broke off of the fender sides and they fell down. So I used a floor jack to lift both sides up and lined them back up. Clamped everything togather and re-welded everything back together. Thicker stick welds. I am planing on adding a engine cage this year to help support a lot of the stuff in the engine bay and core support.

    Some ideas at what I'm considering.
