Yesterday...
Jump Started it, I guess the battery tender clamp I had on it wasnt making a good connection.
Drove it above 60 miles to pick up a Mahogany dining room table I found on FaceBook...
Was having an issue with my front wipers coming on when the car starts and also spraying windshield washer fluid on the TB. Thought maybe a dodgy multifunction switch. Popped a new one in and...
Replaced the oil pressure sensor. As usual, replacing the old part was straightforward despite having to do it blind and in a tight location (in between the intake manifold and the firewall).
The...
Due today is the new under hood light for my girl's 2002 TB. The old one was causing an intermittent draw and has been unhooked for about a year before I recently remembered that I "was gonna"...
Ok, the truck is booked in with a local heavy duty mechanic. Great guy, by the way. Swinging by the dealer parts tomorrow for a new hub just in case. While the dealer wants to absolve them of...
Well, with respect to the ignition switch, the verdict is in--I hope. The photo below shows the switch I just removed on the left, the Dorman version, and on the right is the one I had removed a...
This morning, at -8c (where is spring???), leaving for work, started the TB and immediately heard a gurgling noise and saw fluid gushing out under the truck. Shut it off immediately. Checked and...
When that thing breaks loose, stand back/by for a "shot" sound and maybe something flying. I still say heat or remove the entire assembly and take to a press.
Round 1..... no dice. Used the puller and the 8 pound. Hopefull it might have budged, just a bit.... almost broke the windshield as a small impact socket I put on the forcing screw went...
Pulled the connector on the oil pressure sensor and, sure enough, it is oil wet so the sensor is leaking. This may also help explain the minor oil leak I have been trying to track down.
What I will be doing to my GMT this weekend . . . looking into a "Low Oil Pressure" warning I got last night.
Pulled into a parking lot immediately and shut off the engine. Checked the dipstick...
Its still in the shop sitting (lucky to have shop room and a surplus of vehicles) it was soaked with pb blaster. I am thinking of using some version of a large puller, whether a 3 jaw or even a...
Helping wife to prepping to make Easter dish and dessert for family gathering on Sunday. Later picking up daughter's ride from shop and swapping rides at her work so I can get my 05' SWB TB back...
@movietvet there is no c clip from what I can see. The inner tripot came off the differential stub shaft easy enough but the rest had been a nightmare.
so, an all night soak, cycled more heat...
I finished up the brakes on our new to us 2020 5th gen Ram 1500. I bled 1.5 litres of brake fluid through it, greased the slide pins, popped the rotors, antiseize on the hubs and a little grease...
Received a new lumbar adjustment knob for the driver's seat. My girl's 2002 TB with 78k miles. Received box, cut open, walked out to TB, unlocked door and knelt down and pushed on the knob after...
Friday I did the cooler line. It was the part that holds the little clip that holds the lines together that corroded. I just cut off the joint and patched it with hose and clips. I couldn't put...
Guess what I'm doing this weekend?
And the funny thing is, it happened near the same spot that it last happened with my '02 back in 2014. This time it's likely a rusted out line. Just waiting...
My TB was due for an oil change so with the recent discussions about Valvoline R&P I decided to go with that. I had also been considering for some time doing an ACDelco TEC as well and had bought...
No pictures yet but we picked up our new to us 2020 Ram 1500 classic today. Runs pretty slick. My daughter is beyond the moon happy but more importantly, she is learning that with hard work you...
Looking to buy a trans pan/filter for my Jeep GC with German ZF8 trans.
This one on FeeBay is 100% OEM ,even has made in Germany cast into it. Almost fell for it but they got a little sloppy with...
