What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

Take the black wire and crimp a ring terminal to it and run it with one of the screws that hold the visor. just get the ring terminal between the headliner and the roof metal. Not unless there is a tab up in there you can shoot a self tapper in there for the ground. maybe even do a single ground behind the center cover and run that out to both visors.
 
Went out to the pick a part yard today with a friend. Came home with a replacement passenger seat for his burb along with a few other oddities. Scored these center caps for my truck! Just happened to walk up on a pickup and found these laying in the bed!! Paid a whole $30 for them.

The round one with the black emblem is off my 93. Just washed one up with some dish soap

My CKO provent started leaking pretty bad after the trip to the JY yesterday so I got fed up and ripped the whole thing out! Went to Home Depot and got a gallon paint can, some 1” fittings and a 10’ length of 1” clear hose and made my own oil catch can. Stuffed the gallon can full of stainless pot scrubbers and mounted it behind the driver’s side battery. It should be able to catch oil better than the CKO provent time will tell. I was just fed up with it leaking all over the frame and the fan shroud with the cap leaking!

Got the headliner installed on the 2005 Honda Accord:

The Jarritos Mandarin soda celebrates the end of this saga where an homeless person threw an unopened Jarritos through the rear window of my Honda while I was stopped at a red light. The bottle exploded in the car, drenching everything including the headliner, eventually cause it to sag. This happened about eight years ago. Nacho found shards of gas still in the door seals.

Did Nacho help the cops find the body?
 
Well today I somehow lost power to the windows, radio, and one of the add-on gauges in the 93 when leaving work today! everything else still worked fine. drove home thinking a fuse had blown for the accessories. got home and before getting out of the truck, switched the key off and then back to the acc. still nada. seems everything that works off the acc side of the switch had lost power.

went inside, changed out of my uniform and grabbed my test light. went back out to the truck to check fuses and low n behold it all worked when I turned the key on!! jiggled wires around the lower part of the column, and checked the distribution block under the hood, but it all stayed on solid. windows working too! figure I'm about to have to replace the ignition switch.

There has been a couple of days here and there where when I go to leave work, I open the drivers door, key on and go to put the window down and it doesn't work until I start the truck. maybe it's been giving me that warning and I have not been listening LOL
