I'm going again this year. Who's going to join me?

Wait now, OP says manual transmission. He's either wrong or the trucks been modified (even possible?). If he's wrong about the trans he might be wrong about the model year. Crappy pic but I don't see any CTIS either...
Nah, the inside of most vehicles are full of projectiles anyway; cooler, tools, chains, whatnot.
Thanks! No, didn't think about HF for the magnets, wish I had! They are 25#er's from Amazon.
So I decided to outfit my truck with a 5lb fire extinguisher. Not sure if/where it would have been mounted when in service so I decided to improvise. I devised a simple mount made of wood and magnets. Best part is there lots of different places to mount it on an all metal truck. Hope you like...
How about a small triangle file? Try recutting it by hand? Or just grind off the bad thread until you get to good thread? You only need 7 good threads for max holding power anyway.
I do a lot of car show plus Cars & Coffee and I hang a sign on my truck inviting parents and kids to climb in and take a pic. Peeps really love it cause most cars at shows are look but don't touch. A comment I've overheard over and over is how hard it is to get in and out. That plus my wife...
Great description, thank you! So $50 for a rotor, $25 for a pulley, I'm half way to a new clone setup right there and that doesn't count resistors or anything else that's gone wrong. Smart money says go clone, along with almost every member here. I'm thrifty but not stupid, so I'll go clone...
Attended a Memorial Day car show. About 200 kids and parents climbed in and out and took pics. Wife brought the dogs up and we had lunch together mid way thru. Had a blast!
She might not be charging
I appreciate the input so far guys. So I finally got around to testing my alternator output and it's low. 24.4v, 22.1v with the lights on as the TM says. The TM says to remove the hex plug and turn the adjusting screw ccw to increase the output volts to 27.8 to 28.2v...
Let me ask, how hard is that rotor to replace? I appreciate the exploded diagram above! It looks straight forward, are the bearings pressed on the rotor shaft? Will I need any special tools?
Thanks!
You guys probably know better than I but why not? Is that little ground up area behind the key that bad? It doesn't go all the way around. Several washers on the front overcame the stripped threads and gave the nut good threads to grab on to.
I just don't want to throw too much money at an old...
Added a turn signal under each drivers door. At 27' long there's room for two vehicles to be next to me and not see my front or rear blinker. I spliced them into the fronts using a long Y connector I made.
