had a charging issue and found out the battery ground on the motor was loose. tightened it up and it is working fine now. drove it about 60 miles today
had to repair my shock mount as the dorman which was the only listing for this part didn't fit. then replaced two of the three u joints in the front driveshaft. thinking of going to hydroboost power brakes
well today I installed the new distributor to eliminate the pip sensor code. I also put some newer rear brake drums and tomorrow going to get my 40/20/40 seats, oh yea got my new to me driver side pillar trim installed
well today was not a good day, stayed up late installing the new rich porter distributor, got it in and truck fired right up and ran great, today I pulled it out of the garage, put the mirrors back on, have to take em off to get through the door, backed out of the driveway and pop bang and it quit, got out and housing had turned a long way, thought I didn't have it tight enough so I moved it back to where it started, fired it up, running good, started down the street and pop bang it quit again. got out it was turned again, this time when I put it back it would just barely run, got it home and back in the garage, had to remove mirrors again, I need a wider door lol, pulled dist out and could barely turn the shaft. so called parts house and they couldn't get another till Tuesday. so I opted for the reman that they had in stock. looks like it had a new pip sensor so I took that with a refund of the price difference. got it home and put it in and wala it fired right up. so of course the parts yard where I was getting my seat was closed by the time I got it going. so I wasn't able to get my seats. Monday is supposed to be temps in the teens to single digits so I guess in gonna have to wait till a warmer time to get the seat out, just the side and rear glass is gone and would like to get it out before it gets wet too many more times as im sure it has before. but cloth has no tears and is a little dirty but it seems to be in decent shape.
well not sure what else to use to get the center seat and the console, maybe get the tray the seats mount to and get some captains chairs and just let the third passenger sit on a homemade console?
yeah i was thinking the same lol.you'll have to keep loading 'er up with gravel and dirt fdude. i think you've justified her ownership before you even fixed her up anyway.congrats on the new 5ver! looks like a nice one.
HA. I am pretty sure an F150 could handle that camper
well maybe brad, but I wont have to worry about sway and stability, and for scrap price couldn't pass it up. the f350 is the only truck I have so it is drafted to pull it.
I'm digging those mirrors! look like just the ticket to see most of my big trailer. Where did you get them? Do they cover the holes the factory ones are in?
