Productive morning.

Re-seated the collector onto the turbo on the 550 and stopped the hissing noise. Got the tailgate latch freed up since it had kinda rusted itself in place then put new grease on the slide pins. All the wheels came off no problem.

Truck just needs steer tires now then it's ready to rock.

And now it's time to go continue to paint the upstairs in the house.

Afternoon guys, we finished the steps on the water today in niantic, then went to another jobsite and mixed 36 bags of concrete by hand in 40 minutes. Also finished mounting the bumper today for the truck, got a few more fender bolts on, and put the wheels back on and it's sittin pretty!

I have two here at the house. 50% worn, one with plug. $100 picked up, if you bring me to get my car in Wallingford on the way home.
