    Last 2 weeks-R&R fuel injection pump,remove about 4 lbs of useless extra wiring,rewire headlights from dash to lights and add new relays, diagnose and repair a lot of neglected stuff by previous owner.Install new air compressor and air coils then work on air springs.Waiting on parts now.Today I`m gonna change drivers seat,reattach anything I see that needs it,finish modifying a newer style visor and install,mount cb and install stereo.Third day waiting on my DMV to call so I can get my tags,might actually get to wash it soon,when I run out of other things that need attention.lol

    I took apart the passenger kick panel today and cleaned all the crud out from there and the fan interior filter. Oh my word. I had a small dog in there from all the hair I took out.

    A couple weeks ago, we pulled the drivers door jam and other trim/kick panels off to remove all of the qualcom wiring harness. I tossed about one quart size back of dog hair just from that area alone.

    I have always felt the truck had a stank to it. I am finding it now. Someone ran a company truck with a dog in it. Hair hidden everywhere.

    That really sucks. Could be worse though could've been cat hair.

    I did nothing with my truck today. Actually let it sit didn't drive it didn't go to work. Why because my truck apparently comes before family in my life because I polish it for the second time since I've owned it (5 months). So it sat might sit tomorrow too don't know kinda want to run just don't know if my heads in the right spot to be safe to drive.
