Re: Trying to make Junky perhaps just a little bit Funky...

Today I finally got to move the truck on it's own power. Can't figure out how to embed a YouTube video on here. https://youtu.be/9bNT3gi03Fo

Got the new NSS installed. Need to do some adjusting on it. It works in Park and Low gear which makes no sense.

Got the battery tray installed. Will need to do some more work on it, but it's holding the battery for now. Of course the battery does not fit exactly as I would like, but it's good enough.


This is the temporary gas tank I created.


I did run into problems, the biggest of which is leaking oil while reversing into the garage. Not sure where it came from, but I am thinking the oil dipstick tube where it goes inside the engine. In these pics you can see the oil trail on the floor and on the frame. It wasn't leaking when I started the engine in the garage before.

The other problem was the rear tire slipping or screeching or whatever you call it. Might be the idle was too high or stuck brakes shoes. It made the ramp vibrate so much the end ramps moved from underneath.

Here is the leak...



Then I had to deal with the battery dying. Had to jump start with my car to get it back in the garage. Then the 2nd time jumping it did not work. Hoping an overnight charge does the job. My battery may be at the end of it's life, but for $20 it has served me long and well.
