Thumbs up Took the Truck Out

I took my truck out for a spin around Mare Island Naval Shipyard this evening. This is its first trek since Dan got it started last week. It ran pretty good. I think the carb and idle may have to be adjusted though. I am curious if the electrical issue that we patched and stopping the fuel leak would make both of those be off.

I found a nice twenty yard mud stretch. The truck has not been 4wd in three years, so I got out and turned in the hubs, put it in 4H and went through it with out it even noticing. I turned around and put it in 4L and did it again. The front end made a whining noise, but I don't think that was anything new. To be honest, I haven't driven that truck in 4wd since 1995 so I can't remember what it would sound like.

Overall, the truck did well and now has muddy fenders. Now I am ready for all of the bad weather coming.

How is your weekend?
