The journey begins - purchased a truck.

Well - I replaced the block heater. Drive it for a half hour. Top up a gallon of coolant.

Drive 10 hours. Turn it on. Works about 4 hours - then quits again.

Bugger.

Ventured a little wrenching myself last month. Nothing insane - flex pipe from turbo down that was leaking, an air switch in the dash for differentials that was leaking, a block heater . . . that I'm simply fearful of turning on now . . . and 2 low air pressure sensors that I had to do twice, because - that's how you learn not to be a dummy next time. And greased the puppy real good.

Oh - and found the little block of fuses that was RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY DUMB FACE that fixed the blue beacon truck wash chicken light short - after I had chased the ever living martyr out of the wiring harness from chicken to egg.

Let's hope, . . . . wait - all that hope and change stuff didn't work. Let's remain focused for the remainder of the year and get some results consistent with the first 2 months.

 

Well, I got a different manufacturer switch from Fleet pride, with bladed connecters. Got it home, drilled and tapped the holes in it to accept the eyelet screws - hooked it all up and realized they'd given me 'normally open' switches. Boo!

Repeat entire process.

Fuse block was in the ICT sleeper - 4 quadrants, upper, lower, left and right. Just didn't see them.
