Riiight...3/16! Well I was close I guess....just was 2/16th too big...

 

Your truck will be an invaluable tool to help you understand and apply many of the core ME principals you'll be learning over the next couple of years. So little attention is given to the practical applications of what they teach its a wonder some of these kids even know what a screw driver is.

I see so many super book smart 4.0 gpa having, EIT stamped, fresh out of school ME's that can't troubleshoot their way out of a paper bag unless it's in the form of a paragraph with accompanying diagrams.
If I had a nickel for every time I've had to explain the principals of "righty tighty, lefty loosy" to a grown man with an advanced engineering degree I'd be typing this from my private island just off the coast of my other private island.

Good on ya for taking steps to not be that guy.

PS: Pay attention in thermo!! Trust me. The next 3 years will hurt if you don't.

 

So update i got the hood stack cut off about to order my de exhaust, and pick up a 2nd gen seat.

Any ideas how to get rid of as those fusible links? I ordered new wires and a marine fuse block thing any pointers or diys on how to fix this wiring? Its a 92 auto 4x4

 

Head up to the Sticky at the top of the forum....there are lots of threads on how to tackle most every job on these trucks.
