Old picture, but the best one I have of it on the truck. If you want me to take another, updated picture, I can in the morning. It definitely gives some identity to the pickup, that's for sure. :cheers: The badge by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvusse Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Cut of the remains of the driver side lower control arm bracket. Made two tabs out of 1/4" steel and tacked them on. Still need to grind one edge flat and cut a skid plate/cross connector. Then to a buddy's to have them burned on permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaronbtxnc Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Spent about 6 hours (from 5 pm til 11pm) working on a bed swap. I removed tail lights from driver and parts truck, removed gas tank skid plate from both trucks, removed gas tank from both trucks (first one was a bit of a challenge with me stuck holding the almost half full tank for nearly 40 minutes while my friends were trying to figure out what was still holding it :mad: , turns out that just loosening the clamps on the filler neck and vent lines isn't enough, you need to go ahead and get the hoses off the metal part :doh: , second one took about 5 minutes), removed exhaust hanger and spare jack from parts truck, and removed 6 of 8 bed bolts from parts truck and what I thought were the other two bed bolts but as soon as I got them out I thought they weren't, and they weren't, they were the two bolts just ahead or behind maybe the back bed bolts that have to be accessed through the frame, I have to get a longer extension for my ratchet to get these last 2 out. I only got about half way though the swap, it'll be Saturday before I can get back to it and hopefully done. I wish swapping beds was as easy as on my Ranger was, 6 bolts from the top, disconnect taillights and disconnect fuel filler neck and pull it off. My arse is dragging this morning! Be watching your computers for questions I may run in to Saturday morning/afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skidoo_j Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 replaced the harmonic balancer. Trying to chase down a belt squeal to no avail. The old balancer was probably on it's way out as the rubber was becoming disconnected and a pretty good piece came out so i don't feel too bad having replaced it. But am even more confused now as to the cause of my serp belt squeal caused by it moving on the clutch fan pulley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ended up getting a more expensive ones that didn't feel like hard plastic and that did the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaronbtxnc Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Decided to pull my carpet and tackle that hole I found last weekend when I finally decided to look up from the bottom... Got the seat and carpet pulled before breakfast (I'm eating it now) and am about to (hopefully if it's good) rob the metal I need from the parts truck.
