Josh, that camper is friggin outta sight man! Looks great with that slick truck of yours.


All I have been doing with mine is driving it. A lot. Like 70 miles a day a lot. It has been kicking names and takin' *** the whole time. She isn't wild about the heat, and the 110º air will make her ping if I am too deep in the secondaries going up a long steep hill. Under 100º it is fine though.

 

I have also been washing her quite frequently.

 

I daily drive mine too, about 40 miles per day. The heat has been tough with no AC. 96 degrees and humid today and 98 yesterday I'm real close to installing air

 

I have gotten pretty used to it. I'm a window kinda guy anyway. 118º, windows down, life is good. As long as I am moving, the heat doesn't bother me. Sitting still is what does it!

 

After I changed the cam that ate it's self, I was running the 30 minute break in at 2000 RPM. After 20 minutes into it, the temp started climbing. I shut it off. Not even two seconds later, the bottom radiator hose blows off and coolant empties all over my drive way. This is my luck. Fix one problem, another problem shows it's ugly face. Here's pics of the old cam. Btw, this cam has less than 5k miles and Comp told me "Sorry, the cam is older than 12 months. No warranty. No matter how many miles are on it."





It's a little hard to tell but there is a little over 1/8" ground off the lifter and a little less off the cam. I think I can blame the fresh oil that I put into it on this one. No zinc at all. Lesson learned, always add zinc additive.

 

Installed a dual color (red/white) led strip as floor lights. Tied them into the door switches and a small toggle to swap between colors.

 

Still Really Cool!

 

Almost got my new gas tank in, I ripped the filler hose and I'm going to see if I can find one for it tomorrow before ordering online. It's 2 3/4 inch fuel hose, any ideas where I can find that?

Today I was cleaning up the interior of my recently bought F-250 1976... was really impressed when I pulled off the "pimp style" fluffy covers the previous owner had put on the bench...not a single tear on the vinyl! Cheers

Installed a new battery tray and fixed the exhaust leak that I've been listening to for a year. Remlex! I am a believer.
