It's my weekend truck basically right now. Truck has had many a load of concrete sacks, gravel, soil, bark, trash for the landfill you name it. Chores around the house, I've got a 10k rated tilt deck I tow my jeep on and go wheeling. I also have a 32' 5th wheel I live in for work sometimes when I'm on the road. 12k gross there. And tonight, well I took the girlfriend out for pizza and beer in it. This truck does everything.

Here are some of the things I do with the truck and tow with the truck.





The 93 wrangler toy. 4.0/5spd/np231, 4.10s and 33" TSLs





32' alpenlite





Severa 80lb bags of concrete for a sidewalk at the house. Helper bags pumped up here





89 foxbody. Gutted right now. Just caged it. Brand new suspension. LS1 on the engine stand. A work in progress.

had the truck in the shop for a week or two there... well two shops. since the first shop decided they needed to pull the engine and replace the oil pan gasket and rear main. and I would have let them do it too, but they decided it was "too big of a job" right now for them. so they recommended me to a diesel shop that does big rigs and RVs. well guess what they found a diesel like on the return line at the back of the block, and a hairline fracture in injector line 6. as well as a couple other very minor oil leaks. they also confirmed my timing pin was in fact broke, and threw in a new one for me and double checked my valve clearances which were still spot on after doing my 60lb springs on intake and exhaust almost a year ago. I must have forgot to pul the timing pin back out and snapped her off. WHOOPS

anyways after all that stuff fixed I am now back to getting to the bottom of the hazing. I am still having slight hazing when I fire my truck up after it being parked for a couple hours. the grids wont cycle because intake temps are 60+, but it is still 40 degrees out. the haze is minimal now but is still there.

Wow some professionals who actually pay attention to what they are working on....sounds like a great shop!

Glad you got a bunch of small stuff all sorted out.
