Builds An Accidental Frame Off.................. (38 Viewers)

[rkymtnflyfisher]

Driving to work this morning with the muffler still cracked open like a cold beer at a Nascar race, I noticed that the left turn arrow lit up on my gauge cluster.


On the way home I noticed stepping on the brake pedal made both turn signal lights turn on, but my turn signals were completely dead when I tried to use them.


Amp gauge never deflected when I did anything other than press the brake pedal, and it never increased.

WTF yo?


After it cooled down a bit I went out to look around, thinking to myself, what the crap do all these circuits have in common?


Not much really.

What's new? Blown up muffler. I should probably look around back there.........


Well ain't that a helluva deal. The whole harness decided to become one.

The short term fix should be posted up in the redneckness thread.

Time for a frame off.

Time for a frame off.

It would be a good time to fix the shoddy work the last guy did.


Oh wait. I know that guy.

That guy was hell on a garage door.

When I painted my body in the garage I had the garage door up one day to allow for some extra airflow, we'll you could say a little overspray mist settled on the garage door while everything rested. The next day my wife noticed the entire garage door was kind of a mint green due to the overspray! This was all at the same time that we were staging the house to sell!

I spent some time out there with the pressure washer trying to clean it up.

New muffler installed today, sounds as tame as a Sunday morning church choir now.


Currently working on material list for an order from @Coolerman so I can get the rear harness repaired. Hopefully I get that together and emailed by the end of the week.

My world revolves around grounded wires.


If it ain't grounded it ain't safe.

Passenger rear blinker didn't work.

Does it have power? Does it have ground? Is the bulb good?

I'm just being a knucklehead, there's more going on!


Stay tuned!

The light actually doesn't work, but after the damage to the other half of the rear section I'm just going to rebuild it all the way from the front connectors to the rear connectors.

Ummmm Ryan, you don’t have to gut the interior to work the wiring harness under the truck dude. I’m just sayin……
