Okay, so me and my girlfriend replaced the oil pressure switch because it started leaking bad and also pulled the driveshaft out and replaced the u-joints front and back, now that was not easy on a lowered truck, lol

Radio is done .The old heater core is out, the new one is in, gotta put the dash back together, hook up the hoses and thats done, maybe I can add the tach today, straightened the door, fixed the taillight, still gotta fix the tstat housing, and bleed the brakes (once I get that damn crossthreaded lug off of the backed out stud) and figure out my brake problem (lost brakes christmas eve) when peddle is pressed the booster makes a shhh sound which I never noticed before...anyway its back to work

Except she bitched about it and everything else, and was a nutjob, so she had to go...she was actually jealous of the truck which is why I didn't get much done with her in the picture...If i wasn't with her I had better be at work, couldn't even do homework, but now she's gone and I'm back in school, and getting alot more done on my truck and I must say even though I'm not getting laid every night I'm happier.

lol my girlfriend thinks my truck is a death trap and she usually doesn't want to be around when I'm working on the truck, luckily my friends like to help me work on the truck goes a lot faster when they are around. I have a tendency to misplace tools and pieces haha. I get more done when I'm off of school but there is always the temptation to skip class and work on my truck if its nice out
