I still need to do some more work before road testing begins, but I needed to get my drivers license renewed before tomorrow. I didn't want to make two trips so I got them both today.
I am making a mental note that Friday around lunch is NOT a good time to head to DMV though.
That's too funny....I had to renew my license this year as well. Did it a couple days ago.

That is pretty funny Brian!
What are the chances that two guys that both own marshmallow white 12V Cummins converted crew cabs, on either side of the coast have the same B-day and spent time in DMV on the same week to renew their license. Wild - is there some sort of Mopar lottery I should play?...

Also serves as a "Get High" input for the cab on cold days.

Enough exhaust fumes getting sucked in there can easily give you a bit of a fuzzy feeling while driving.


Something we all enjoy...

Door panel - AGAIN!

I had to fix my door panel again. It was coming loose from the drivers door. This time I put a couple of screws in it to keep it from coming loose again. The clips that you get at O'Reilly's just don't hold well.

Looked for a clutch tube from the master to slave. Unobtanium!

Yeah I looked too one time. You can get the master and slave separate new or a complete set with the tube. but not just the tube.

Who sells the complete set with the tube? I can return my master/slave for a refund.

I sent a factory original one out to Peter at South Bend Clutch a few years ago, so he could get a factory style replacement made.
Last time we talked he had them available for sale for the 1st Gens.

Thanks guys. I was quoted $59.00 for one at Napa but they had to order it in. I'll look at the South Bend website. Mine isn't leaking yet but it looks like plastic and with my luck when I take it loose it will either break or will leak if I try to re-use it.

Got in the truck this am, and the same fuse link Fuse popped again. Looks as though my guess at the wires in the door to cab wasn't the issue after all. Back to the drawing board...

On well got to see some planes out of the crapper city of Newark....

Not done today, but I did paint the support a few days ago. I still need to do a vertical bracket...... one day in very near distant future.
