ok, today i had off and decided i wanted to refresh some grounding points.

First i did the "instrument panel" ground and send it to another location with added 10g wire.

Second- Refreshed the top part of the engine ground (the one flat wire) not going to do the part that connects to the engine until i fix the valve cover leaking problem.

Third- i decided i was gong to refresh the c101 or whatever it is. This was a PITA because of all the tar. I sprayed it with brake cleaner, then scrapped, then sprayed and repeat. I didnt get it ALL but i got a damn good amount.



Results!!!!!!!!!!
Well 1st thing i noticed MY TEMP GAUGE WORKS!!!!!!
2nd thing i noticed, MY VOLTS WENT WAY UP!
i have been going through all of cruiser54's renix tips, and i sure am glad that i found it

Tomorrow, or maybe even tonight, i am planning on adding the relays to the power door locks to get them back up and working properly. I am going to do a write up with pictures and submit it, i know there is a write up on other pages, (greg smith) but none that i could find with pictures and step by step instructions. So i figured maybe it would be nice to go ahead and get one up on here.

Oh I know. But leaf springs? I use to work at fedex. And I can understand little stuff. Because to walk out of the terminal you get checked and body scanned. And fences are like 15 feet so you can't toss something. But I find it weird they told the shipper they lost it. Found it but now it's lost again. The shipper has sent out another pair of leafs. But I can't call them to even ask till tomorrow when they open.

My four legged friend ran his tail off in the snow and I hit the trails and broke fresh powder all day. I'm trying to put a video together from the trip.

Christmas came early from the GF since my family is going to Florida for Christmas this year?? She got me a cobra cb, now all I need is the coax which I'll pull the trigger on tomorrow. In other news I topped off the anti freeze and filled the windshield wiper fluid

don't mean to make your wait any harder, just wanted you to know you are making a wise choice in tires! I've been running these 33" dirty tracs for the last year and they have gone far beyond impressing me. Daily driving, crawling rock and snow they always perform!
I was in about 2 feet of snow on average and about 3 feet in the deep parts and I'm open diff and I was nearly unstoppable, rarely had to even drop to 4low.

Today I stripped down my new bumper and gave it a good coating of truck bed liner before I install it tomorrow.
