WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

Easy Dan ... she will have a heart attack with all that cleaning :wtf:

Yaki

That does sound like the early non-intercooled inlet off the Trooper 2.8. The branches are almost square in shape from recollection. Does the bonnet have a scoop. In which case it should have a TMIC. You will be losing power if not. Any 2.8 and 3.1 TMIC should just bolt on. Just remember to get the mount brackets as well. Also you might need to rotate the compressor housing snail on the turbo to get the hose from the turbo to intercooler to line up.

took my egr valve off as been a bit smoke to find it jammed shut and rattling so poked it open with a screw driver gave ti a good clean but still does work so now looking for a replacement

used it to stand on its roof to get some pics of the olympic flame outside my house

Started to weigh in Christine so she will be food can soon :lol:

as I didn't have a car trailer I've had to cut her up so I can weigh her in. But I'm having fun doing it :lol:

Got it a replacement caliper, well a pair, off Horses45, so il get that on at weekend. Cheers Rob :thumbup:

Just bought triggers broom some new handbrake shoes :thumbup:

Not done anything today apart from ring round a few sources to see if I can track down a 3.1 injection pump

Go-Kart (MX5) not the truck...

Rad out, front covers off, cam belt & bearings off, water pump off and in the bin. New oil seals to the crank and cam shafts. New water pump fitted, new cam belt and bearings fitted, front covers back on, rad back in.... And the battery was flat so no starty. Will jumpstart it in the morning and take it for a run later to charge it all up.

Started at 21:00 and just finished now, 00:34.

took my egr off again and soaked it over night in wd40 and then used a torque driver to move it side to side to cean the dirt of the shaft and then go ti working normally again so now back on the car just need to sort out the o2 sensor error i now have on the dash after going in deep water so need to take it off and check the wires lol as i think one may of got a short on it

Used it to drag a guy and his Alfa 156 out of a ditch :dance:

Took it through as many puddles as I could find. Especially ones that were more like fords than puddles :mrgreen:

Unfortunately the car got covered in fecal matter as bromsgroves sewers overflowed, not a nice smell :oops:

Still fun though :lol:

Got a spare tyre from Foggy about 18 months ago, Bobbins put a wheel aside for me about 3 months ago, which I collected a month ago and today I mated them together. Not like that you pervy ones. I now have a spare wheel to keep in the garage and never have cause to use with a bit of luck. :dance:

Whilst masquerading as a power press engineer I managed to fit my 4 new Rough Country shocks and cut off all the rotten brake disc guards(s$%t catchers) and bled the brakes. A new track rod end to fit tomorrow and all ready for the MOT

Today where i live in bromsgrove was really badly flooded :mrgreen:

Thought great not a problem i have my truck

Jumped in the truck and it started on the button as always. I then went to pull away and i have two seized calipers :twisted:

As i had to go out i jumped in my daily drive (Peugeot 307) and ended up fording it as everywhere was so badly flooded :lol:

blimey Ste, it's been boiling here today

It has here too in between all the rain.
Ste was lucky his end was water the end I was was sewage.

Gotta love English weather :lol:

Hundreds of houses around bromsgrove was completely flooded out including my sisters house :shock:

She had 4 foot of water in the house and completely wrecked it.
I have never seen a storm like it in the uk. within 10 mins of raining there was rivers running down every road by me :shock:

Blimey, that looks worse than that I experienced back in 2007 (Stoke Prior)

Yes, that's the canal in the background - risen about 4'
