    Charging Tilt trailer battery while driving (Parallel quick connect?)

    I have a battery (optima red top) for the winch and break away switch on my flatbed. I only charge it with the 7-way. No problems with blowing a fuse while using the winch. BTW I’ve had that battery since I bought the trailer new in ‘07. It is showing signs of giving up though.

    Truck stolen.

    Here’s the relay...I can not for the life of me figure out where it goes. No open spots under the dash, at the ends of the dash or underhood fuse panel.

    Truck stolen.

    Not a slim Jim, more a generic master type key. And since the same key works the door lock and ignition...

    Truck stolen.

    I did find a relay in the door but can’t for the life of me find where it goes. Maybe it disabled the alarm? I’ll get a pic of it shortly.

    The Jimmy key did all the work. Door lock and ignition were 100% intact.

    Truck stolen.

    Yeah I brought that concern up with the cops. I let them know I was readily armed and they didn’t seem to care. Not their problem till it’s their problem you know? I get it. And so did they. But the kids are home schooled and I do keep an eye on the place.

    2002 Brake Master Cylinder Tube Replacement

    Yes it’s PS fluid. Remove the return hose from the brake booster and install a length of hose from the booster into a bucket/catch can whatever. Make sure your pump is full. Run the truck with the wheels off the ground and turn the wheel left and right. Just a little not full lock. Also pump the...

    Truck stolen.

    Deductible is $500. I’ll find out when I call them today. I really hope they can still total it out but I doubt it. The question is is the truck worth it to me to fix up. I didn’t have the attachment to this one like I did my ‘04.

    Truck stolen.

    Oh yeah, I did score some new tools and what nots. I told the cop that the shit in the bed wasn’t mine and he said well it is now haha. I’ll look thru it all after work.

    Truck stolen.

    Well I got the truck back last night. As I suspected I didn’t want it back lol. They definitely drove it like they stole it. Most everything was still in the truck minus the CTS2 and dash cam. The column is tore up, center console cup holder is gone and some ac vents. They even left the plates...

    LLY - Cracked piston

    Don’t forget to save some money for oil cooling. That should be done sooner than later especially with twins. Looks like you have some already but a 2020 cooler would be nice.

    Truck stolen.

    Well Friday my truck was stolen from work. Missed seeing it happen live by less than 10 minutes. Security pulled the tape and a guy was cruising the parking lot (general population) with a Jimmie key checking locks. Hit one truck (another Silverado) and then my truck. Opened right up and he was...

    Leak off WIF sensor

    Just run the lift pump and bleed it at the test port. Make sure you cover it with a rag/towel because it will go all over the place.

    Good news on the shop and your retirement, bad news for everything else. Thoughts to you and your wife!
