After installing a Clarion Shaft-style AM/FM/Cassette in the radio slot- removed an old style RCA, I have been bust getting a new alpine DIN style AM/FM/Cassette ready to swap in. I had problems with the belts on the Clarion, so I went with a worm driven Alpine.

I have not installed a DIN style deck before and hate to cut the radio slot up excessively. Is there an easy way to do this?

Enjoyed it.

:mrgreen:

We finally got a decent amount of snow, and there was no way I was going to miss a perfectly good chance to take it for a romp. Even met the new neighbors and got them to hop in.

chief1983, that is a cool note and an awesome way to introduce yourself. Now they won't be going: "... you know, that 'Army Guy' next door... what the h=!! is that about?" [thumbzup]

Removed and welded broken power steering bracket. Top pivot tab broke cleen through, slide adj under alt split. Probably the cause of throwing both belts a few weeks back, never checked the pump. Have been hearing a buzz from what sounded like a loose heat shield, there are none on my truck. Just could not track it down. I found the pump jumping arround a few days after I re tightened the new belts. Check your pump bracket if you have reocurring belt throwing.

I put a new starter wire in the other day. The little wire on the solenoid came loose. I replaced the terminal and put a new nut on it with lock washer.
Had to drop the starter to do this, i couldnt get at the little stud.

Changed oil/oil filter and fuel filter. Greased front end and drive train as per the lube order.
Truck had been a little slugish over the past month. Found some loose clamps on the filter housing. I suspected air getting in the system...now I know where it was coming from.

Hi Guys,

Today 18 February 2012, I went out in the pouring rain,
and replaced the negative battery cable to the front battery,
and fixed the solargizer wiring, so the little solargizer box blinks now.
