What Did You Do To Your Truck Today? v2.0

Cleaned the throttle body. Made a difference.

I clean mine about every 6 months, or at least once a year. I also clean the mass airflow sensor.

I installed a set of upper and lower Stableloads and a set of Timbren SES bumpstops on my Ram 3500 dually to help it haul a little camper I like to haul around.

Here is a before and after picture. You can see that there is significantly less suspension squat, ... about 2 1/2" less to be exact.

I had to plug a tire yesterday. I picked up a screw. I was lucky enough to have a plug kit in my truck and at a gas station with air. So far it's holding steady on the 60psi I put in it.

I keep plug kit in both vehicles.

I need to get one of those small air compressors to keep in the truck as well.

Changed the oil and filter and lubed the chassis.

At least you have grease points. They pretty much eliminated them on new vehicles.

My truck is running fine, but my 79 Corvette, is another story. I am in the process of removing the Holley sniper system, and replacing it with a Carburetor. I am sick and tired of the issues with the Holley sniper. Working on a Corvette, even an old one, is not like working on anything else. It took me a day to pull the electric fuel pump, out of the tank, and replace it with a new sending unit, for a Regular fuel pump on the side of the engine block. Installing that, took my another day. Tomorrow I will install the new Edelbrock AVS-2 carburetor. The issues with working on a Corvette, is room. There isn't any. No way to fit a ratchet in a lot of places. The best you can do, is a regular wrench, and then you can only turn it just enough so you can get another bite, once you take the wrench off. Just 1 click at a time. But, I'm not bitching, it is, what it is. Most shops will not work on a Corvette, at all, B/C of how much time it takes to do anything on them. But, once your driving it down the road, it's all worth it. My car is very fast, and very responsive. Runs 12 second quarter mile times, and takes a corner unbelievably well.

I couldn't bend over the hood to work on a Vette.

A couple of them are a bitch to get to while I'm lying on my back.
