Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Looked under her yesterday when I heard a sort-of rattle. The Lummox that did my exhaust has more than one broken weld....
What was I to expect? The guy's a pro. But I'm not saying pro-*what*! I guess a complete re-do of the $350 job I paid him is in order.
And I brought the new Series 40 Flowmasters to the party.

So, for the very short run, today I climbed under and did a garage-fix on the broken pipe-hanger .

While I was down there, I grabbed a couple of 1/2" open-end wrenches and gave the hand-brake another tweek (tightening).
Still not quite enough. Then, I started to re-wire the horn. Turns out I made a bad solder on the buton. Quick fix.

So I detailed (kind-of) the stuff around the tailgate. No real detail...'Cause, like my son-in-law said, "Hey! I thought this was a truck"
when he threw the first pile of about 500 lbs. of yard-stuff in the bed and I winced and bellowed at him.

He was correct. But I still made him throw the rest in a little more gently.
