What have you done to your square lately??

[HotRodPC]

So ya keeping it now?

I guess. It leaves me stranded again..... I'll take out to the property and shoot it up, then haul it over the scales.

Sure glad my bro was home, I'd have had to of walked almost a mile to the house to get the K1500 to go get the tow truck. I figured by the time I got the tow truck and all that ****, just easier for me and my bro to strap it home. All worked out well. Only thing that sucked, the damn motor was still hot when I worked on it, and got a bit burned. But I damn sure wasn't gonna have a broke down truck !!! My **** might be ugly, but it damn sure runs good.. usually.

****, at least you had the extra dizzy man, then you got other trucks to yank a part of too, lol..

Oh hell yeah. I had 2 other dizzies I could used to get it fired up, or just replace the ICM, but I've been going to put that dizzy in the truck for some time now and was waiting to get cash for new AC Delco plug wires and plugs and do it all once. So now I just need wires and plugs. Does run a hell of lot better too. Smoother, and I still haven't timed it with a light. Just did by ear, so I might be able to squeeze a bit more advance out of it too. It's not pinging at all and seems more responsive. All is good. Coulda been worse. Coulda been bad weather, or my bro not home, or much further from home, etc.

I bet you take advantage of rain every chance you get huh? You only get a bit of rain during Monsoon season don't you???

 

[8T6K5]

Just about all of our rain comes during Monsoon season (June-Sept +/-). Best part about Monsoons is they hit late afternoon, lots of thunder/lightning, copious amounts of rain, then they dissappear. Its the dust storms (Haboobs) that mess **** up.

Monsoon season keeps getting shorter and shorter with les and less rain. Phoenix is drying up, I may have to head East to the hills with Irishman....

Typical after every big rain...

[DUALLYBOURBON]

Got out there tinkering with the burb today... Ended up rewiring the trailer brakes/lights with new wiring. Then washed her up, and went looking for a steering column.... No luck..

 

[foamypirate]

Got all of the bulbs working in the instrument panel, installed a new speedo cable (which isn't working...I just had to mess with a good thing by replacing the cracked old cable that still worked). Still need to figure that one out, ran a drill in reverse at the trans end and speedo worked, so trans isn't driving it or it's not sticking into the trans far enough or something. Removed the hack job trailer harness wiring, and installed the rear bumper. Installed a coolant overflow hose so it doesn't puke all over the engine bay when it gets hot. Also installed the cruise control harness out of my 87' so it's the proper length now.

 

[foamypirate]

So, it turns out the reason my new speedometer cable doesn't work is because of the weird ratio adapter on my 700R4. It has a 1:0.95 adapter from the factory, which instead of using a square male drive, has a round drive with a keyway. I ended up having to use my old cable from the 87' to get it working until I can track down the proper new cable.
