Not a whole lot going on here today. I just got to work a little bit ago. Wound up down in Kansas last night for some kind of crazy *** black-light barn party. Not really my scene, but it was fun nonetheless.

When I brought my 95 home I went through all the filters. The air intake was clogged with leaves, dead grasshoppers, crickets, and all sorts of other things I'm not sure I know what the hell they were.. I was not amused at the lack of maintenance.

When I turn my ac/heater on corn dust gets blown all over the cab.. It's gotten a lot better than when I bought it, but is still present. Must have been a farmer's beater truck before I bought it and got left at the fields a lot.

Indeed. I am usually pretty meticulous about keeping my engines clean, which is why having them leaking oil bugs the ever-living sh|t out of me.. The motor in my 89 and 95 are both complete grease *****.. That will change eventually, but I gotta have fun coyote hunting first before I yank an engine.

Haha could be. Either way it's my truck now, and it is getting taken MUCH better care of. I bought it from a Chevy dealer, and it was apparently the manager's brother-in-law's truck. I was told he traded it in for a 3/4 ton, which makes sense because it still has a fifth-wheel ball in the bed of the truck.

It drives me nuts when I have to work on mine though.. all that oil and grease just makes a huge mess and it's a major PITA.
