was pretty brite out allot of the day, still is light and almost 4pm

 

by 4:30 when i normaly leave work its dark. i had a doctors appointment today which i somehow missed...i know the lady told me 1:30 but whatever! ugh! so i gotta go tomorrow at noon...my boss is gonna love that.

 

Its warming up, I'll be able to pull the X out in a month or so! I'm so excited!

 

Put some new pads and rotors on the front. I ordered front and rear, but one of the rear rotors got lost when one of the boxes broke. Waiting on the rears to come in to get them done! At least my truck doesn't feel like the inside of a paint shaker when I brake.

 

Great description. Having been through the experience, that's exactly what it feels like.

 

Gonna have to get her dirty tomorrow Supposed to be mid fortys all week...melting sloppy roads. Won't pay to wash her for a couple weeks now

 

Changed the clock radio (daylight saving time) by hitting random buttons really fast - after 11 yrs, still haven't written that procedure down...

 

Thanks for the reminder, have to go do that before I forget

 

Hold down the CLK button while pushing the tuner right once. Goes an hour ahead.

 

lol check me off the list of resetting the daylight savings time on the radio!

burned through a half a tank of gas too running around town today

 

way to support the economy!


i think im gonna get a night job at a gas station so i can steal fuel

 

I changed the oil today and getting ready to drive down to Bristol this weekend.

 

i have the oil and filter but i have not changed it yet. i'm wanting to do that and tire changeover(summer wheels/tires) at the same time.

 

i did my oil because i seen in the forcast its gonna be 42f this week so i though i better do it before the driveway turns to slush!

 

After reading this fix about 50 times, I finally broke down and tried it. Have to admit it's the cheapest way to try and fix the wandering steering. In my case it was more of a steering 'dart' than 'wander' here and there that required correction every 20 seconds and any speed. I loosened the 5/8'' nut and tightened the inner nut 3/4 turn and test drove, then tightened another 1/2 turn with a 3/16 allen. It's the best fix for wander I've had. Ball joints, shocks, steering stablizer, etc etc. all helped a little but this seems to have completed the job.

Tools: 5/8 socket + 2 wobble joint extensions
3/16ths allen wrench
crescent wrench
