Be grateful for the life giving moisture.  We didn't get enough of it this season here in Colorado and out west.

WORST SPRING EVER ... :shakehead:

Yeah, it snowed here a few days ago. Latest snow I remember here in the lower plains. Weather stats say we got a dusting a few times over the last decade but that must have been further north.

Went nuts with the label maker. Labeled almost everything on all my shelves in the garage. Already did my tool chest. Felt a little crazy putting a label on the shelf for a lot of stuff, "fuel system cleaner" right under a bottle that says "fuel system cleaner".  :lol: no "where is it at" now if my wife needs or has to grab something when I'm at work, or I need her to bring me something.

I get carried away with my label maker as well.  Sure beats my very crappy handwriting.

Doing the right side hub now. Won’t make the splash shield mistake this time. I took pictures. Need to do the control arms. Buying arms is the same price as buying ball joints and bushings. And my joints look bad. Also ordered. A used tire off eBay. 3 of them on my truck are 5+/32 and one is 2/32 or less. Couldn’t find a match in the states and tire rack made my tires special order. So switching from Goodyear Eagle F1’s to the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06.

Early Thursday morning after work I changed the 3rd brake lights to LED as well as the driving (fog) lights to LEDs.  Last night before going to work buddy and I switched the tail lights, front turn signals, front corner markers, and all 4 headlights to LEDs as well.  Took the time to turn/adjust the headlights so they're pointing pretty much where the halogens were, hot spots and all.  They're bright as hell and look awesome.  Must have done it right no one flashed me on the way to work or on the way home.  Time will tell I guess.   Since it was getting dark we didn't start putting the resistors in so I'll have to put up with hyper flashing for a week or so until I get back down to my buddy's place.  I have pretty much no experience soldering so I'll leave that to him. 

 

Also need to wait for some diodes to come in the mail so I can have my cargo lights come on in reverse and keep the fogs on with the high/lows.  I don't know why I didn't do the fogs when I did the high/lows it would have been another 3 minutes.

 

Maybe this weekend I'll wash the truck and clean the glass.  Dash cam glares horribly from my dirty windshield, yay Florida humidity.

Had my oil changed, 27 point inspection, transmission fluid changed, and washed. Then we went to look at a few model houses.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.

      What are the conditions of this rich idle? Warm or cold engine? Run time? Does every idle look like this or only sometimes?
