Next load of driveway stone just showed up. We also signed the paperwork for the HELOC today. I got shorted on my funds with some nuisance requirements they put on me. Of course these didnt come out till just this past week, and we are so far into the process i really dont want to start over...

Got it apart at lunch today in about 15 minutes. Love the simplicity of these trucks. So the compressor is not siezed. I got the clutch off, threaded the bolt back in and the shaft spins with minimal effort. Nothing feels out of the ordinary. The pulley bearing feels "ok". Not as smooth as I...

Well, had another strange scenario last night. We were on our way home from a dinner as it was my wifes birthday. Doing about 40 slowing to a stop sign and hears a loud squeel that lasted maybe only 2 or 3-seconds then stopped. Once we came to the stop at the stop sign we smelled burning brakes...

Nice truck AK. My plan after im done needing 3-rows of a Suburban is to find a 90s dually diesel. Id even be ok with 2wd as I will not drive it in the winter.

Been getting a lot of rotational brake noise lately. Upon further inspection my front rotors are rotting and literally delaminating sheets off from the inside face. The outside is severely pitted and starting to chunk off as well. I actually went back through my thread here and have pics of...

Grabbed dads JD 755 and tiller. Started spreading some of the good topsoil from the spoils piles, tilling, picking the big rocks, and hauling over. Friggen dry dust bowl right now after a week with no rain. Cant get a happy medium. Got the last of the geotextile over top of the french drain...

Got the backside swale mostly in place. Shouldn't have any surface ground water issues anymore.

Been hard at it trenching and re-grading due to the codes property boundary offset. Got the trench all done last night. Will be grading excess topsoil over it (with geo) outside of the gravel areas due to all the extra spoils So crazy how the camera doesnt do this hill justice. Its a serious...

Pulled the sod off the new parking area. Going to need some dirt sloping off the back side to achieve somewhat level. Again, another not planned scenario with how much material I had to move due to the 50-foot setback code.

Yes, it seems hit or miss on my end whether it does it or not.

Got the pigtail terminals cleaned with MAF sensor cleaner. Sensor is in and no leaks. We will see how it registers the next time I drive it.

So we are barking up the right tree. The plug is wet, so oil is passing through the sensor. Also found out its not OEM (white connector and engraved jungle store part number)! The one on my parts truck looks to be OEM (black connector)

I actually had low pressure concerns maybe 2-ish years ago. Lowest i recalled was maybe 25PSI. Dropped the pan and did the o ring and it jumped the pressure back to 40 hot idle. To be honest wasnt alarmed with what i found in the pan when I did that. O-ring was definitly deformed and broke the...

Got my washed stone for the french drain.

Been noticing my oil pressure going down again over the last few months. Normal hot idle used to be 30 to 40-PSI. Today we were below 20 at hot idle. Im at 5k on my synthetic 5w-30, so I am going to change it tomorrow. I am also going to swap out the pressure sensor with the one from the...
