What did you do with your truck/shop today

[LongrangeLauber]

Probably going to jinx myself on this one but I'm really surprised my trans hasn't given me more fuss. 70k miles on it and it has definitely been used like an HD truck, plus I have a lead foot and it's tuned. I've had a few odd shifts here and there but nothing I can't live with

Did nothing today and still doing nothing, torqued my back yesterday and was horizontal all day, starting to get pins and needles in my toes so looking good for feeling my legs again tomorrow. Meanwhile reading forum, doing Sudoku, looking at the walls. My eyes haven't stopped watering since I felt the lightning strike to my back, even if the excruciating pain is gone. Must have gone through a box of tissues today. Probably the tear reservoir will run dry soon. I hope!

The new L5P is a monster of an engine!

I opened the garage door and we watched the blizzard for a bit, I washed her two days ago; there wasn't anything I needed out there, so I kept the salt and crap off her.

 

I downloaded the Leap 42.3 iso. Mmm..bad checksum... No problem, I used touch and rsync to get the corrections. (Thanks, University of Waterloo.) Sha256summed it...all good now,

 

 

Then I listened to some Stravinsky while I burned the image and installed it; that makes my daily driver a quintuple-boot system. Ha! With the snow coming in sideways, it was just the right kind of day for it.

Hauled this home. Will be using to carry baseball gear this spring and summer so I don't have to load and unload my truck everyday

I've been driving her to work more often and during today's lunch I drove through some desert trails around work. It's a lot of fun and kind of gives me the itch for a truck that can properly handle light trails/desert running.

Well the truck has been in the shop and needs a new torque converter and TCM solenoid. Hope to have it back mid week. At least they gave me a free rental.

Went out to clean up from the additional 3" we got last night, in addition to the foot we got Thursday. Another foot coming tomorrow, so decided to shovel the barn roof. Over 1k sq.ft. total. Thankfully the snow was powder, but it's still a ball-busting job. Took a little over an hour to get that done.

 

After I got off the roof, I jump in the '94 S10 plow truck, push in the clutch, turn the key - nothing. WTF. Try again ... still nothing ... except now I feel pressure bleeding off the clutch. F*@$!!! 2 days ago the thing started and ran perfect! WTF!!! Of course the truck is parked right next to a wooden stake I spray painted fluorescent orange to locate where the driveway ends, so I don't tear up the grass with the plow - it's right in the friggin way. Had to shovel a foot of snow out from around it, then drag my jack through all the snow I just shoveled off the GD roof. Rolled out my grease carpet and got to work. Whacked starter with a pipe and hammer a few times, then turned engine over using the alternator nut - fired right up. One problem down. Starter probably on it's way out from repeated abuse cranking in gear, thanks to the constant clutch problems. Checked the compression fitting on the clutch line - was leaking. I cranked down on it so tight I thought I'd bust it, but it worked. Took twice as long this time to get pedal. I jammed it in gear and just about drove right across the street into the woods. Took a good half hour of pumping to finally be able to drive the POS.

 

GRRR!!!! Always friggin something around here!!

I remember reading a post from someone that owned their own mechanic shop that said he had two of his guys stay(don't remember if it was a 900 or K2) and help one day and they hated the whole thing and it took them WAY too long. Must be a GM design problem, because katskinz (or someone) has a video of a last gen Mustang install that looks very easy.

 

Edit:

And looking at the date I really haven't been in this thread in a while

Drove mine to my future mother in laws to help her move some things. Got a scan captured on the way. Now I just need to come up with the money for the actual tune.
