I'm about to replace my starter on the 95 and the right side brake caliper when the rain clears.

Sanded and sprayed some rattle can on a couple spots that were starting to rust, glad i caught that before it was to late.

Figured out how to remove my steering wheel or rather horn cover to tighten my steering wheel up (didn't remove it yet though, doing that saturday or later today if i have time)


So hopefully that will take care of my airbag light problem. If that don't work then i have no clue why it's on all the time.
that light is annoying.


Today I was looking on autozone.com for some tail light covers.

Put a little bit of washer fluid in it, checked the power steering fluid, threw a little bit in there. Checked the rest of my fluids, all gravy.

Well now I got my starter replaced I'm going to work on my front brakes. The right side I know is binding and not getting a good grab so I'm going to replace that one. And the one on the left is damaged. I wrote how I've had a rattle on that side. I knew it was the brake caliper but didn't know why. When my bearing hub went out it caused the brake to wear against the runner bolts. And now the holes the bolts go in are ovaled out. I noticed it today while replacing the starter. It works ok but that rattle is annoying.

But what is nice. Brakes cost $11 with an $11 core. I got them at autozone and used my card. I have a $20 credit on the card. So I got $20 off at the counter. I get $22 back from the cores so both calipers cost me in the end $4.

But I found out the starter had been replaced once before and the doofus that had the truck before me missed one of the bolts on the shroud. So it's missing one of the side bolts. Next on my list for pick a part.

I have not found anything stronger. I picked up a salvage yard special for $50 and replaced the U-joint.

Swapped out my box and subs. One sub has a voice coil rubbing the assembly inside. I'm gonna salvage one sub and trash the other. Put my 15 inch Armageddon sub in to get me through untill upgrade time next spring.

Also gonna change the oil and hopefully mount some side steps Saturday. My new girl is only 5 foot and needs a lil boost, ha ha .
