nope... thats a misfix... you dont actually glow...

 

Well the project truck got the parking brake installed.
I started some work on the harness so I can move the sets. I want my
heated seats back. Nothing like a warm seat when your back is hurting.

 

They're certainly more efficient - much better than heating the air around you and hope some of it sticks 😀
A friend had a nice new BMW with heated seats and felt a bit warm one day. Turned out there was a problem and he got his trousers (but nothing else) burnt 🙉

 

There is that.
With our trucks you can just pull the master relay for the seats under the driver seal.
But I sure would not want to have toasted buns.

 

Haven't driven the truck in the last two weeks so I checked to make sure a rat didn't make a home in the compartment. Looks like my barn cat has been doing her job keeping them out.

 

Spent this evening doing some low stress stuff.
I got my wire pin tools out and built up the 2 connectors in the project truck for the non heated seats.
Did a little harness wrapping while I was at it. I also verified that I had the correct wires for what I
wanted to get done. Got to love the Fox and Hound wire tracing type tools. Tomorrow I will do the nasty
and cut 2 wires and cap the ends off. The reason is one is hot all the time and the other is hot in run.

Also I did check and the fuses for the heated seat power already in the fuse box. One would think that
Ford being so cheap would of pulled that little sucker out and saved a whole 1/100 of ¢ but no they left it in
place. Saved me digging I guess.

 

I'm in the South Parking Lot of the Pentagon (iPad, AT&T) ready to saddle up for RT, but once I get home I'm going to start the tear down on the non-bulletproofed 6.0L that has managed to make it past 200K --- it's time (deltas getting a little squirrely)..........

Normally, I'd lift the cab, but this time I'm going to weld up a new lift plate and take it out the front end....................dying to try out my new Dynasty from Miller.............own 12 welders (all colors, some ancient), but really like the Blue Stuff...................

 

I know you're kidding around lol, but I actually use some plugs called Hearoes, they are awesome! Less fatiguing. And I can hear the quality of the motor better than regular plugs

 

 

I was working on a house project when I noticed a wet spot where the pickup was parked. Son of a... Did some looking, it looked like the degas bottle developed a crack. Whew. So a quick trip to the parts store for some anti-freeze and new coolant recovery tank. The parts run took longer than the swap. The temps yesterday and today were fine, and the deltas were close for me.

I was happy it looks like a simple fix.

 

I have always found that the plugs give me headaches and hot ears. I tend to stick to muffs. I have been known to have them on even at times when they are not the rule.


Anyway my today work got me to the point where the carpet is back in place in the project truck and I have the harness converted to a non-heated seat.
Part of the process was planning the path that the 2 wires I have to add will take going up the side with the harness.

Now the question is sense I have to lift the front half of the carpet in the new teuck do I just swap it with the other truck? I have some spots that I am
not sure will clean up in the new truck and the wet dog STINK I get every now and then.

 

Yeah man I can't hardly go without ear muffs! I'll do the plugs if my hat or goggles interfere tho!

 

Nice! isn't it nice when things work out easy! So satisfying!

 

Sort of a personal rule. No hats on around turbines or propellers.
Two bad things can happen. It can get sucked in or blown off and you try to catch is
and in the process cross the propellor path. Bad JUJU how ever you look at it.

 

and no gloves around the table saw!

...no neck ties near the paper shredder either lol
