For sure! I like my job, it's interesting, but the rest of my life is so much more enjoyable.
-------------
More upgrades!
I did this one awhile ago, but here is my custom vertical stack of switches - Top to bottom: LED lightbar, backup lights, and fog lights.
I hooked up the DRL...
Very true words. I try to make living my life priority over my work, even though I do work a good amount I at least enjoy it and take the time to enjoy other things. If i had a choice I wouldn't work at all.
Anywho.... Stay tuned for more upgrades in the next while....
My father recently retired and is having the time of his life. Constant projects and such. I can't wait myself.... but i'm enjoying things as i can currently.
-------------------
Just a pair of 98 Silverados (dressed as Sierras) heading to the dunes!
:lol: I hope that some of the fun I have motivates others to get out there.
I have not visited crater lake yet, have thought about it. I just haven't been in that area yet.
Yeah it was a big effort but with the amount of people it wasn't too bad.
Thanks! Was definitely a fun time.
-----------------------
Some shots from the last trip down to Oregon. Was a good trip, wish it was longer TBH.
I swear... Everything I own is lifted! Now she just needs some bigger tires...
So I went on another trip, big group camping adventure. On the way there I was exiting the freeway and started to hear a hissing sound. Pulled over to check the truck and found one of my rigid dually valve...
Hummm good to know. I think seeing the temps on this trip I just want a set of cooler pucks and call it a day. Was running 240 or so at night (60 deg out) and 270 day (112 out) while doing 60-80 MPH.
--------------------
Well, the ol' dually did it. Scaled out just over 18k on the trip. 1,700...
Good to know. I was leaning towards I84/I85/I15 personally. Then i'm only climbing to a max of about 5k elevation. I90 you hit close to 5K then 7K before going back down into Idaho... My uncle thinks I84 was rough and goes up I90... I think less hills = easier......
I forgot to respond to your...
Thanks! Last go-round I ordered a 2.5 gallon jug from Midwest Trans (filled mine and a friends). I didn't have the time to wait for them to ship it on this go-round once I realized the trans was messed up. I did find Amazon has it for $17/quart with free prime shipping. Not bad at all...
Actually i couldn't. See the size difference in the clutch lining and the flywheel surface? As well as the pressure plate. Higher performance aftermarket clutches utilize more area. My early flywheel on my 88 is solid like the new one, but my later oem one wasn't.
Tore it down, built it back up. lets hope this go-round lasts.
New clutch. I ordered the Centerforce II, but they were out of stock and didn't tell me (growls) so I ended up talking my way into the dual friction for the same price. This has a bit more meat to it than the AC Delco Unit.
So...
True. But I also hate doing things twice. And hate finding more things wrong.
A semi-local place. TB Trans in Deer Park Wa. My uncle who rebuilt transmissions used them for a long time, and they have good prices.
Hi, My name is truck. GIVE ME ALL YOUR MONEY.
As I've mentioned, the clutch in this truck was driving me crazy chattering, sometimes has weird pedal feel, and the transmission was leaking some. So, I pulled the transmission. Mind you, the clutch was replaced when I bought the truck and rebuilt...
Here is the new setup! Continental Cargo 7x14 V-Nose, RV side door and rear ramp. Already ordered the LEDs for it and will be doing a shackle flip in the near future.
Did another trip to Oregon. New trailer was so useful. And I was joined by my friend with his 98 K2500 454/4L80E truck and...
