Damn LMC truck ships fast, I am going to have my parts already on Monday. Just ordered them yesterday.

 

Went to the yard. Found 2 spider assemblies. Pulled the manifolds off both (takes me 15 minutes,im smooth).


One Looked ok,all dirty and stuff. Other had a leaking regulator.

I pulled the dirty one and broke one of the tabs on a leg. I went ahead and got it. I gotta get a security hex bit to remove the screw/plate that holds the leg on,il swap one of my old ones on it. God i hope it works out. I hope i dont mess up the nylon lines..

 

2 words.


I WIN.

( i think,runs great,i dont think i have any leaks. il pull the tuner valve out and take a look inside this evening.)

Oh. i hate these digital gauges. I ran out of gas. gauge shows a bar under 1/4 tank. pos.

 

Mounted my new lights and built a drawer for the rear floor pic on the build thread of course!

 

It's not just the digital gauge. A couple months ago I ran out of gas in my '93 Sonoma with the analog gauge. The gauge in that truck just reads high. It runs out of gas around 1/4 of a tank.

 

my first one was like that. I guess i got lucky on my 2nd. Im used to it.

Oh well. I guess il have to keep gas in it.

 

What did I do today...... admired it while walking into a car show... its not ready for a car show just yet, it will be come october........

 

Today was busy, started out sanding and painting my flares then got into trying to fix my strange 4x4 issue. Found a local guy parting out his 98 blazer, picked up a TCCM, 4 button switch and complete fan shroud for 40 bucks! Cleaned and installed everything but still no luck :\
Will be back at it tomorrow...

 

I adjusted the steering gearbox in my '98 Jimmy. I learned a lot about it in the process. Only a very small amount of turning on the adjuster screw affects the performance of the gearbox. I tried as much as a quarter turn but found that was too much adjustment so I turned it back to a little less than an eighth of a turn and that tightened up the box nicely.

 

Turned my LED blinkers into running roof lights. I wanted to incorporate the blinking feature into them but I didn't feel like digging into the front lights, so they're just stale yellow LEDs now. I'll take a pic later tonight
