Within the past 2 weeks:
1. Used the windshield repair to fix a bulls eye crack. It didn't completely go away, but it looks much better now.

2. Connected my aftermarket temperature gauge's light bulb. The PO never got around to it. One step closer to perfection

3. Oil Change Rotella 15w40 NON synthetic.

4. Removed ram air and its intake components, added 6637 filter.

5. Added a WTS light and buzzer.

6. Added rear view mirror (didn't have one when i bought it)

7. Cut off 2 pinched areas in the fuel pump delivery system. Replaced copper tubing with fuel hose.

8. Changed Oil Filter

9. Bought 2 new batteries

10. Changed battery connectors (will change entire cables later)

11. Changed fuel filter

Broke and bored = destruction time.
Wanted to see what the oil filter looked like since I have no idea when the po last changed it.

Hydrolocked her at 1200 rpms.....Although, It wasn't a hard lock. It spun down like I pulled the key then locked.....Thankfully. Number 5 was completely full after failure, Then an hour later of being left untouched, filled back up. No proper facility to pull engine apart and no spare cash. This truck is done for.

After sitting some time, I got in and hit the gp controller for 6 seconds and she fired right up. Then I drove to the store and filled her up and purchased some lawn mower gas. She is a nice old truck.

Adjusted the rear brakes. Contemplated fixing the mess of cobbed trailer wiring...

Decided that was work better suited to late spring... So not looking forward to that mess...

To be fair I am an aluminum welder by trade, not just a backyard builder. But this was my first ever bumper
