Thanks for the info! I don't think it's behind the glove box tho, nothing there but a TON of wires and the fuse box. This is in my International! Probably the same principles apply tho, so tomorrow I'm going to pull the passenger seat and access the heater/AC box. (It's under the seat) If it's in a duct, it should be there.

Got one water line fixed today and abandoned the other. The one going under the cement floor of the barn/training room/newapartment was actually easy once I found out what it was. They went from the 1 1/4" black plastic, to a 1" piece of galvanized, put a tee in the galvanized, then a hose barb, then continued to who-knows-where with the black plastic. The top side of the tee has 1/2" copper coming off of it and that is what feeds the barn. All this is UNDER the barn's cement slab. I was able to access enough of it to determine it was the black plastic that was leaking, after the tee. So I just cut the black plastic after the tee and plugged it. As far as I can tell, we still have water where it should be! Maybe I just cut the neighbors water supply! Nothing surprises me anymore around here!

The other barn's water line is leaking under the wood floor, so I made the corporate decision to leave it alone. The water isn't used in that barn anymore anyhow and the only reason we were going to fix it is because "we've always had water in that barn". Not any more!

Afternune all!

 

Water leaks are like vacuums.....they really suck!!! If you're luck enough to catch it in time you can actually pinpoint where it's at.......if they go too long you can dig forever before they're found. Glad you got 'em repaired before they caused any damage.

 

T-Rad, that hand-check idea is too close to the truth for sausage making and by making I mean manufacturing, not cooking. As you can prolly guess, I make sausage as a hobby. The early steps in the process usually involve deboning and cutting into cubes large cuts of almost frozen pork and beef. After a few minutes of that my fingers are so cold they are numb. After a couple of near misses where I had to stop working and check to make sure digits were all still attached, I bought a chain-mail (sp??) butchers glove for my right/meat holding hand. Apparently my DW, friends and family won't eat our tasty, homemade sausage if they are 5% or greater human meat.

 

My hands are soft as a babies you-know-what!! ( if your a baby wart hog.. )
Naw, but I seem to go through a pair of gloves about once a month or so..

Aint it funny how particular some folks can be????

 

If it's worth doing it's worth griping about doing it.

You hear little sizzling sounds? Don't worry about it, a few more stomps on the switch and the problem should show up as brilliantly as a truck on fire on the side of the interstate.

They're afraid of mad redneck disease. Good idea on the butcher's glove, they work well.

Evening all.

 

Good morning folks.....coffee's on....pretty strong today too!! Saw on the local news this morning about a bad situation on I-35 here in town. Lots of construction going on right now and last night at 10:30 a semi was going (reportedly) 10mph through the construction zone when another semi rear-ended it going 70+ mph and immediately burst into flames killing the driver of the faster truck. Bad deal.......just a month ago in the same zone a worker was hit and killed by a truck. The north bound lanes are still shut down as of 8:25 this morning.

PLEASE DRIVE SAFELY AND MAKE IT BACK HOME TO YOUR FAMILIES!!!!!

 

Morning.

Wish the weather would level out. Hot then cold then nice then hot, etc is killing me. Sinuses aren't happy. When sinuses aren't happy, Shorts is not happy.

 

I feel your pain Shorts. Mine haven't been as bad this year as they were last year.....thank goodness. My daughter on the other hand.....poor thing, she wakes up at night because she can't breathe. 40's in the morning, and back up to around 90 by Sunday......sheesh. The weather yesterday reported Waco as Texas' #2 worst city for allergies/sinuses.

 

Morning!

What? Am I late?

 

Morning.

Hey wait...

 

Up at the crack of noon I see.

 

How did you make out Scott?

 

It was a reflex to the today in history content.

 

Excellent Tim, THANKS! (Again!)

The resistor and plug looked to be in good shape, no melting, everything intact, but I changed the resistor and made new ends to replace the plug, (remembering what you said about changing the plug), and it all works perfect now. The only way to replace the plug, according to the dealership, was to replace the whole 4 wire harness from the seat housing to the resistor, and they wanted $144 for it. It's only a foot long, but I figured I could make new ends a little more economically!

Found the rattle under the dash too. Antennae wire was knocking against the plastic duct work.

The headlight problem was the plug on the dimmer switch harness. Fixed that with new ends as well and eliminated the plug.

All is good in truck-land now!

 

Today is a happy day if you are Chaikwa or his truck.
