Preped and then painted passenger area with chasis saver today. Wheeew that stuff has an odor....make sure you got the area vented well. Tomorrow the second coat goes on. Was tacky still at 8 pm, started putting it on at 2 pm. I just hope the odor goes away and only lasts a few days.

The tranny started shifting weird, on inspection it had a brand new vacuum modulator installed but the short rubber line inbetween the vacuum modulator and the hard line was cracked. Replaced it today and all the shifts are good again. It's time to drop the pan and replace the fluid and filter now.

Today I replaced the headlight adjusting screws and the plastic "nut" as I replaced the headlights .
I found a slight fuel leak on the filter drain line (it was bubbling right after I finally got the engine to turn over).
A friend changed out the last 3 glowplugs for me ( the one I could not reach ).
Tested RT524 radio- recieved fine but I could not transmit-need to ched the mike connection.

The last two days I have been installing a 4 inch lift on my m1009 and I am still not done

Nearly every part has fought me tooth and nail the only part that came off easy was the shocks It looks good though I will post pics when its all done

THe odor from the Chasis Saver only lasted a day. A pint of the stuff goes a long way...Today the insulation went in..

I changed the oil in my truck today. Used Napa Gold filter and Rotella 15W-40 oil. Great stuff! It really quieted down the engine. Cold starts are a breeze. Also replaced my vacuum lines. Shifted better but went back to the high RPM Hard shifts after a few minutes. Will try again Monday.

Went through a little creek and......
Discovered my front differential doesn't apply power when in 4WD?????
Can you guess what I'm doing to the CUCV next?????

 

[WARWAG]

Replaced my wiper blades. Discovered windshield washer fluid pump doesnt work and the washer fluid tank has a leak about half way up. I want to install a much larger tank anyway that would hold at least 1 gallon of fluid.

Lubed up the front end today. King pins and tie rods all nice and lubed.
