What have you done to your square lately??

Dropped the rear of the Thurrty another inch by moving the leaf up to the higher setting on the adjustable hangers. I'll get a picture once it settles to ride height.

Got him h9me and poured some gas in the carb and he fired off! Woo-hoo that was easy then to it around the block and it rode good.

I had to do another crawfish boil today. This one was on the bank of the Amite River. Had a couple offers to buy it...Mrs. Redfish politely told them "No".

I did my scheduled fluid checks on everything that runs regularly today.
I checked and filled (if nessicary) oil, coolant, ATF, power steering, and brake fluid, in my 86, the suburban, the yukon, the caprice, the jeep, the tractor, and the deuce. And checked temp rating on the coolant. Everything passed for the temps were reaching right now.
Also lubed every hindge, latch, handle, tailgate and trunk or all of those mentioned.
And checked tire pressure in everything. Everything has 40psi except my car which is 30.


Eveeything did quite well, only needed what is expected, except the burb was dry on ATF (as usual), and the yukon was surprisingly low on oil. Almost needed a longer dipstick, haha.
Might have something to do with i accidently left it idling in the backyard at my boss's house for about 6 hours while i was out doing errands in his truck.
Oops,oh well, didnt see to hurt it.

Drove it to the country club yesterday to play some golf. It still sputtered at lower rpms and higher load. Took some backroads home and did several WOT launches. It still needs more clearing out but it got up to speed with no problems and transmission shifted great.

Walked out to it last Thursday and found out I have more work to do Heater core popped

Sorry Zach....ALWAYS something

can't install ORD xmember without 2" lift. Instead of blocking the rear I'd like to upgrade.

2012 2500HD rear springs for $100 on FB. If they are 56" and will fit, what do ya'll think.....make the rear too stiff on my K10 (no serious towing)?

Put stainless bolts in front bumper with anti-seize today. Gonna take some cheap white paint and hit all front rivets with it. Drive it for a few days and look for cracks in the paint to tell me if the rivets are loose. Haven't decided on grade 8 or 9 bolts yet.....9 are expensive lol.

newer chevy leafs are far longer than 56". The 91-up truck springs are 63". GMT-400 suburban/yukon springs are 61" and are the same length from the rear mount to the pin as the 56" springs on our trucks. You can use them and not move the axle by moving the forward rear spring mounts forward by 4". That's what I have on my truck. They are from a 97 K2500 Suburban.

Yeah, that's no good and always a sucky job on all fronts

I think I'm gonna tackle it from the engine bay side. I've never done a square heater core but my buddy says I should be able to drop my slosh tub and take the AC box off the firewall rather than dropping the box under the dash. I've got 3 more events to do before the truck goes down for some major repairs/surgery so I'm just going to loop the lines at the water pump for now

 

[Old77]

Replaced the wiper motors in both the dually and the burb. BOTH lost their ability to do the intermittent thing at almost the same time last fall Luckily that job is pretty simple and they use the exact same part

Almost done installing a sub in the burb. Just been doing it in 30 minutes spurts here and there the last couple of weeks. Should have it finished up tonight, I think.

Also have a pile of parts for the front of the dually. Upper and lower controls arms, springs, spring rubbers and mounting hardware. When I first got the truck I rebuilt the front end entirely other than the control arm bushings. Well, now those bushings are really noisy and the lower ball joints are junk again But the other parts are still good (inner and outer tie rods, pitman arm, sway bar bushings,....) so I decided to just bite the bullet and replace upper and lower arms and do the springs, too, just for good measure. Just gotta make time to do the job and then get the alignment immediately after.

Seems reasonable. ***knock on wood*** I've not had to do a heater core in any of my squares yet other than my '77 while it was already torn down anyway so that was almost cheating LOL So I can't give you any advice on the best route to take other than have your teenager do it for you! Do you have a spare teenager hanging around, by chance?

The wiper motor fixed your intermittent huh? Mine died a couple years ago and I always assumed it was the intermittent module under the dash
