Good Intentions...

I know it can't just me me and a select few that I know (@Josh Helm ), what are some times that you were doing any kind of project on the truck and it seemed so straight forward until.... BOOM! I myself always seem to break at least one thing unrelated to what I'm doing.

My most recent was shearing the plastic crash pin in the steering column during re-install. Whoops. What do you all have?

Picked up a 1992 Dodge W150 non operational with a decent body for a quick flip. Had a code 11 for the crank sensor so I dove in on that job. It uses 1/4 allen head bolts to attach to the trans bellhousing and being a Dodge theres years of caked oil and dirt in said allen head bolts. After hours of cursing and wrestling in a tiny area I got it out. Then dropped the grommet into the bellhousing hole.

Much agreeded done this so many times ... but life's like that ... problems and solutions... just sucks when your blindsided by all the problems ...

1992 Nissan Maxima. Just finished timing belt replacement. I filled up the cooling system and letting it get to operating temp. Hood was up and I had a couple tools laying on the radiator. Walk inside for a drink, walk outside and saw the hood fell down on top of tools which punctured plastic on radiator. Ooops.
