Hamp's new home

[davegonz]

Thanks for asking. We're fine where I live (hills). Looks like the flooding was mostly centered around downtown near the river.

 

[PabloCruise]

Good to know! Glad you are okay...

 

[davegonz]

No rain today, so I finished welding and painting the new tranny cross-member. About freaking time!

 

[scrapdaddy]

Tucked up nice and high, something I have to fix.

That looks pretty sweet. You going to protect those bolts somehow?

 

[davegonz]

No rain this morning. Working on the rear bumper. Damn bumper/carriage bolts were rusted in place. Had to use the grinder and cut off wheel to get them off. Pics soon.

 

[davegonz]

One bolt on. Need to hit the store
.

Just noticed what could be my rig's stock color. Anyone recognize what it could have been? Looks like a blue grey color.

I think mine came from the factory that same color, I believe it’s called” iron oxide”

 

[davegonz]

Yeah, yeah. I knew that was coming.

 

[PabloCruise]

Pull that cover and you should get a great color sample...

Finished putting the exhaust back on and also figured out why my rear brake light wasn't working (bad splice). Had to stop due to the massive amounts of mosquitoes we currently have.

 

[davegonz]

I still need to get a muffler shop to bend up the rear section of the exhaust. I hope they don't laugh too hard at what I did with the exhaust.

I can't remember their name but their slogan is There's no muff too tuff. They do a good job

 

[davegonz]

Muffin Muffler? I'm just going to take it to my closest Meineke on Jollyville. They did the exhaust on my old 40 for a great price.

 

[bobm]

Take it to the MUFFIN

The squeeters are getting bad here as well after all the rain we have been having.

I installed new Bosio diesel injector nozzles and am amazed how smooth the truck idles now. Wasn't difficult at all and was relatively cheap.

Old nozzles on the bottom and new one on top.

 

[PabloCruise]

My bro-in-law just dropped ~$5k for new injectors on his PowerStroke. They must be a lot more difficult and/or expensive?

They are electronic injectors on the ford and so more expensive. Also 4 more!
