Re: What did you do yo your truck today??
 

Gave me a $200 partial refund, ordered me a new rim and tire (One got gouged from a wheel stud, using it as a spare) new LCA, and spindle on the drivers side, and new rotors and pads on both front sides, as well as ball joints and outer tie rods/ends on drivers side. And a matching drivers fender. they more than made up for it IMO They also paid a different shop a "rush" fee and I got my truck back in a little over 6 hours. :two:


Ron White made a joke about his wheel falling off at a Sears tire center, that's all I could think about through this process. (I did not use a Sears tire center)

Glad they made it right for you.

Re: What did you do yo your truck today??
 

After having the truck for a little over a week. I finally got to put som time into fixing a few things.

1. New driver and passenger handles. Previously driver handle was broke off and had to roll down window to open the door. The passenger side was missing lock and had to lock from outside. Both work correctly now.

2. Got rid of sag in driver door using the jack method. Now I can shut it without slamming it.

Next weekend I hope to have time to install new radio and fix some electrical gremlins.

yesterday I picked up a gm 10 bolt front solid axle for it, 52 inch rear springs, spare calipers, spindle, some rear backing plates and drums, complete set of u bolts and plates front and rear, drag link and sway bar plus other misc. spare parts.

Most of it's for my SAS sometime in the future years lol the rest like the drums are just spares for myself or whoever might need them.

Re: What did you do yo your truck today??
 

New intake manifold and tbi spacer last week. Clay barred it, waxed, and polished the wheels over the weekend.

Replaced bench seat
 

With bucket seats from a pick-n-pull '94 Bonneville using the FAQ thread instructions located here. The instructions were spot on and much appreciated! Had a make a second trip to the wrecking yard after taking out my old bench as one of the adjuster slide rails was cracked in half. Took an '89 apart to find it broken in the same place but found a good one on a '93. Sure is comfortable but I'm not sure about the color mix in the cab although the wife says it works and what do I know...figured I can always dye it :)

pulled the engine out of my 97 ecsb Z71, got to strip it down, and get my other block from the shop and get it put back together in the next couple weeks and hopefully get it on the road.

Re: What did you do yo your truck today??
 

Been getting my 1994 Chev ECSB 2WD ready for the race car towing season. In the last week or so it got a new center bearing on the driveshaft, a new idler arm, new fuel lines, new body mount welded in, one headlight bulb, two new 235/75/15 Wranglers on the front and a front end alignment. Except for the front end alignment it was all done here at home in a gravel driveway between periods of rain.

Here's the pattern I used to rebuild the body mounts on my truck. Fits up inside the mount from underneath and welds to the frame and the inner turned down edge of the frame bracket. I've used this pattern three times now and other than a little grinding here and there it's been a perfect fit every time. Save it, resize it to 6 3/8" tall, print it on heavy paper. Take the bottom part of the mount off, put a 2" piece of pipe on the floor jack or any pipe bigger than the center hole, put the patch on it, jack it into place and weld away. Most of the welding is done far enough away from that upper rubber to not hurt it at all. Just do short welds and move around a bit on the outer part where it's close to the rubber. Sure beats trying to patch it from the top and you don't have to remove the upper rubber(and we all know how hard those are to get in place)

Re: What did you do yo your truck today??
 

Jacked up the front end for a good shake down. Felt a little slack in the wheel bearing on drivers side. Pulled it down, repacked and tightened up. Good to go. Did a rotate on tires. Polished the wheels (sore finger tips). Fixed the annoying donut gasket exhaust tick! Changed fuel filter. Greased up the front end. Then I went and played in the garden.
