Why thank you. And thanks to everyone for their help and advice. If any Bullnose trucks in the El Paso area need help, let me know. My garage is finally getting decent here.

But this weekend is shot, since the wife is working two 8-hour days. The boys destroy too much to really get any work done.

After hours with the voltmeter, I took the ignition module to autozone and had it tested...FAILED. I've Decided to try a different brand module.

Waiting for another Amazon order of truck parts.

Which one are you going with Odie?

Today I got the little power plug I'm going to use for my LED cargo lights.
I intend to set the socket where a third brake light would go and replace my rear slider window gasket while I have all the trim off for wiring.

Of course, it's pouring today!
Maybe later in the week.

Yesterday I swapped out the master cylinder. The pedal still has a lot of travel so that's something else to look at.

Last night I had a thought about what could be causing my cold weather problems. Today I'm going to take a look and see if I'm right.

I haven't done anything today but work the regular 8 to 5. I did however put in some new floor pans over the weekend. I still have a good bit to do like weld, seam seal, prime and paint

What did I do with my truck today? Drove 220 miles to bring this home:


Got 10.5 MPG running 65 MPH with the trailer on the way over, and something like 9 on the way back running 62.

Kyle, that thing looks like it would tip your *** over a good one if you took too fast of a corner lol. Reminds me of the SWB Dodge vans in relation to that.
