What have you done to your square lately??

[Strick]

I haven't done much at home. I've put a few hours in on the 78 K25 @ school & will share pics of that later.
I've finally gotten back in my home shop really since August. Looks like I left it...

Nice shop @Strick ! What size is it?

Thanks. It's still a bit disheveled due to the passing of our folks (all 4 in as many years). We got all the "stuff" that siblings didn't want. Much of that is under the lean-to.
It's a 30x60x12. & I love being able to use it about 8 months a year!

That other fuel tank is also rust free on the inside and it's sending unit ohms out in an acceptable fashion. Just needs a sock. So that keeps things easier on the wallet. But, this one is ⅔ full of what is behaving like charcoal starter fluid. Good thing there's a household hazardous waste 'event' Saturday and I can pass it off for no charge. Sun returns tomorrow, rock auto gets a little less money and Bob's your uncle.

These are the Mondays I like. Rare...


on edit - 13 gallons of 'starter fluid' and sun is on back order

Sorry to hear that. Got lots of good stuff to remember them though!

Swapped the oil pressure sending unit. Upon ignition the needle in the guage moved around a bit then settled around 29. While out driving it moved barely between 26-29 psi. Not sure if I like the way it reads compared with the old. Install and test drive at night so no pics. That area on the dash is dimly lit. I will post more in the OPSU Querry thread.

put some solar panel on top and get some A/C you could use it all year long!!

Climate is not the issue. It's this adulting and work thing that gets in the way of my personal garage schedule...

Went through the transfer case over the weekend

I plan to put the 4wd indicator light in it but finding the sensor that fits is next to impossible so I designed my own adapter to use a typical back up light switch and then 3d printed it for testing before having one made.

Slowly but surely, I am knocking things off the list.

Since I built my truck I've had a couple of small leaks, that I finally had time to take care of.
One was oil from valve covers the other was coolant from a sender plug in the thermostat housing.
This shot I consider a "Win"

If you get that to work, I'd pay for you to have a second adapter made. I've got the same problem on mine. I was thinking I would just go twin stick and install a microswitch on the shifter itself, but being able to use a switch in the stock location would definitely be nicer.

I'll probably end up just doing two switches on the shifter. One on the front shifter to trigger the 4wd light on the cluster and a second switch to trigger the input on the PCM for 4lo to change the shift tables in the 4L80.

That is one of the best feelings. NOT seeing anything under a previously dripping vehicle.
Conversely, that's also one of the worst feelings when drips start showing up. hah. I hate leaks.

I'd be in for a couple as well! @gilby959798

Please note, I changed the shifter rails for this project as well

They might not look that different but the notches on the right shaft are deeper in the 4WD positions than the shaft I took out. I'm not sure it'll work if you don't have a newer shaft.
