Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

Put the new door GMCPauls door seals on the truck today, the press on ones without having to use glue are definately the way to go. Used a rubber mallet like they request to bump them on and they conformed to every curve well!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

Really pushed myself to meet my "self imposed deadline" of starting it up this weekend. Wasn't able to achieve that. But it's ok. There's always tomorrow.All wires are in truck and routed to general area of connection. Was able to eliminate a few from the front light and engine harnesses. I even tried my hand at wrapping. About an hour later and a full roll of electrical tape...it looks pretty Good. I defenatly need to brush up on my crimping and soldering, patience was tested. But I'm happy with the over all results. Any day now....

Thanks, folks. I'm not much of a "show truck" guy.
Money went to a local charity.
It was really fun.

Laid some epoxy down, first time ever using a spray gun. Came out pretty good.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

Chased down some wiring gremlins. Replaced the temp sender and gauge. Grounded the bottom lug of the gauge like some have said they needed to get it to work. Not getting continuity so getting frustrated with not having a temp gauge. Printed Circuit looks good. Guess I need to figure out how to check the wiring to chase down the problem. If anyone has had this problem before I Considering going with an aftermarket temp gauge and hiding it somewhere. Hate to do that tho. Fixed washer pump and switch blowing fuses. Rewired the stereo, changed the headlight switch and sprayed some touch up on my undercoating. A productive day other than the temp unit and when I buttoned everything up and took it out for a test drive I shredded my B&M shift cable. I ordered a new one and will wait patiently for the brown truck.

Congrats on one drop-dead-glorious truck!

What did I do to my truck today?
Checked my tires/fluids then drove it (as usual).
Checked the fuel gage...low but drove it anyways!
