WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

I use Milers diesel plus 500ml treats 500 litres, cost around £10 or £11 :wink:

I reinsured the fronty just need to arrange an mot date now tax money is waiting

I drove it to work, went into my centre consul and took out a foxes mint, thats the extent of fettling my car has seen today :oops:

Apart from fueling up, Buggar all is what I did today :lol:

Got the Blue one through an MOT yesterday, helped having someone in the know walking around with the mechanic, cheers Dave :wink:

Swapped the manual hubs onto the red one today, then found some lollies Spence missed in the glove box :dance:

Yep thats him that is.

Didn't do anythin to mine, but did a side each on Dans rear brakes :wink:

Took the fuel tank off.

Got Weave67 to weld up a couple of holes

Refitted fuel tank.

Used the chevy/brava/isuzu fing to go and pickup sally's new crosstrainer...(just need to work out how I can get her to generate lecky now!! :dance:

)
Then went up to my mates farm where my tyre machines live till I get 3 phase up my workshop and swapped the tyres on the chevy's alloys.
Took off the worn out 245/70/16's and put on a pair of bridgestone a/t 265/75/16's on the front and dunlop a/t 265/75/16's on the rear. The tread is almost identicle on the bridgestone and dunlops, and they have a good 7mm or so tread...not bad for some tyres I nicked off a set of rangerover wheels that had been cluttering up my workshop for ages.
Look much better on the wheels and being a bit taller than the 245's they seem to help the ultra low gearing on the old girl, plus they are a lot more legal in the tread department!

We do my tyres the old way in the garden with a couple of tyre levers

Saying that Ill be fitting one Tuesday night when the new tyre arrives :roll:

Longer than the last tyre I hope, been lucky so far as they havent needed balancing on my last three sets, but the father inlaw is an industrial tyre fitter, well he is the manager at the depot :wink:

Finally got around to fitting Montys new tyres and wheels and as I’m about as mobile as a squid in treacle it took 3 hours and now I’m totally knackered, time for a big cup of tea and a handful of pain killers and bed for the afternoon….but there on..

Well I tightened Andysd1's wheel bearing then fitted a proper gasket on my thermostat as opposed to sealant ................... now its beer and steak on the BBQ

did an oil and filter change and the damn filter resisted all attempts to remove with a screwdriver (bodge) and for the 1st time in 19 years i have had to buy a proper filter remover and bloody hell it worked.

But the missus is livid at the state of the drive though!!! :axe:

I ignored all Drifts advice and sprayed a whole can of Wynns Carb cleaner through the intake manifold via the PCV hose and it billowed out some sooty, greyish smoke for the first 3/4's of a can then cleared up.

Definitely not as much as Alex's 2.8 when Drift did his but it is noticeably quieter now, took it for a quick test drive and it seems to have smoothed out the engine somewhat.

Definitely worth it.
