I doubt it, I'm not even sure when it is but I've been screwed at work lately. Our loader man retired so I've taken his spot over. Up at 4:30 every morning, and possibly working to 8 every night. It's wrecking me, I'm used to a 6-4:30 day. Until they find someone to hire or put another guy on it, my free time is wrecked. I went fourwheeler riding last night, them went to a buddies house for beer and tacos. I left at 8:30, went home, and went to bed. XD

Oh yeah, I'm also putting another ground terminal on my battery cable. My gauges have been going wild lately, the pyro is worthless and my temp gauge has been creeping over 1/2 way around the gauge, it's never gone over 1/4. I scraped te crap off the post/terminal and it helped slightly so I'm gonna replace the whole deal.

Hmmmm, never mind. I guess there's nothing wrong with the terminal. :lol:

Hmmm, has anyone had a problem with their axle yokes spreading? The input yoke for my rear axle won't hold the u-joints tight anymore. If the straps aren't tight I can wiggle the u-joint up and down between those two tits that stick out above them. I used to almost have to hammer the joint in there.

Different u-joint manufacturer's will vary in tolerences I've found over the year's.

Crap, I was all excited about that thicker brake wedge and was going to ask for a part number and how much it was when I realized that mine aren't like that. :oops:

Stupid 2wd trucks! :lol:

I think those terminals are just fine. Mine look like that and I don't have any problems. :mrgreen:

I remember watching Tyler do brakes on his truck, I seemed to remember thinking it would be really easy to make spacers for the 2wd's myself. I can't remember what they look like now though.

They just sit in the bracket, and have flat springy clips that are held with a bolt to hold the caliper in. I have no idea if anyone makes a spacer for them, but it would be a nice thing to have.

Welding cable makes great battery cables. I have a big crimper here at the shop to put the ends on with.

So have you done anything else to it Levi?

He put a couple of fat (not phat) twins in it at the bar the other night! :lol:

He's going to have to get a 5500 if he wants to be able to haul that kind of weight and not have the DOT on his case. :lol:

Not a thing, I bumped the idle up a bit to kill some of the rattles and try to keep the glass in the driver's mirror. It's been hating it's life since I put hinges in it and it's actually connected to the rest of the truck now. :lol:

I'm currently soaking my H1c in penetrating oil so I can get the housing off and check on Dodgefreak's stuff. I'm seeing what is involved in fitting an HX35 exhaust wheel in a 351 housing.

Also, I got one of these. :twisted:
