Where is everyone #5

Yeah, they earned themselves a place in my no haul book.

 

Well, don't see that everyday.

 

Well, sitting at the Walcott TA. Going to have some things taken care of. I was planning on getting some things while I was here aswell. I've wanted a new seat for some time. However, the idea of spending $2k on a seat ....is hard for me. I have one already, it just sucks..lol. I was also going to get some nut covers for my trailer. I just don't know if it's really worth $100 just to look better? Ugh

 

Thermal switch has been changed

New fuel sending unit installed so both gauges work.

All suction and return fuel lines have been blown out. Found one line that's probably going to need to be replaced soon. Will replace them all when the time comes. I noticed that my passenger side feed and return lines from the t to the tanks are quite a bit shorter than the lines for the driver's side tank, by at least a foot or better. Could this difference be the cause of the passenger side tank feeding faster than the driver? When time comes I'll get both side made the same length if that would be the case.

Valve installed on the tank side of the primary filter base so I can close it to change filters without loosing all the fuel back to the tanks.

Took a diesel shower while wedged between air tanks and the drive shift so that was fun.

 

Yeah in my life so far I've had some 'big projects' I've contributed to. Plus 2 kids...the biggest projects of all lol. Just the satisfaction of the results is what feeds my soul.
And if a project ended up a bomb I'm content to know I gave it my all. Maybe I suck but at least I'm no slacker lololol....
And I'm envious of your brother. Something about stone work that is so impressive. Northern NY is full of stuff done by the Erie canal builders after it was done. All kinds of buildings. I tried building a stone wall years ago. I even had direction in an old foxfire book my mom had! Between the sheer effort moving LOTS of rocks and trying to get the best ones next to each other....it's artwork plus engineering plus brute force. Any stone Mason has massive respect from me..

 

2k for a seat? Gotta have the leather?

 

Lol. It's been fun but I have things to do.

 

$100.00 nut covers? How many do you need? And what are they made of?
I got some plastic basic ones, very cheap... Actually, I have 8 brand new ones that I tried to sell at the TTR and had a bag with 16 old ones that I would give for free but nobody was interested...



And also a brand new plastic hub cap...



BTW, I am not trying to sell those here...

 

Lol, it is the minimizer. It is the most adjustable. Not sure I like it though. All the seats hit the underside of my thighs and make my legs go numb. Sitting in a bucket style seat in a truck is just dumb.

 

I need 40 for the trailer. They are like $3 ish a piece.
