Moparbrowns Manche


Recommended Posts

Put in a another clutch master cylinder - went with LUK Brand this time based on reviews, so far so good. Also a new heater valve and heater core flush. Got some cosmetic parts in today and progress on my “mini manche”. Camping weather is coming so I’m sure progress wil slow down even more than usual - as long as it stays running! 240k and still marking its territory with oil like a young buck...

Been awhile since I’ve worked on the truck. 2020 has been crazy. Got a new bumper and some KC lights and finally got around to putting the new grille in. Still have to wire the lights and clean up the gaps in between the bumper and fenders. I think I am going to rig up the factory bumper caps to fit it there for now. A little bondo on the front clip to fill rock chips and hopefully find some time for a 20ft paint job soon. My wife got the repainted valve cover and gasket installed so it doesn’t leak much now!
