What did you get done- Father's day edition - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**N2TRUX** · 06-19-2005, 09:04 PM

I was on call until Saturday so I didn't do much. I spent Saturday morning pulling weeds, and trimmimg shrubs in my flower beds. The rest of the day I went to a volleyball tournament with my daughter.

Sunday I spent more time pulling weeds, and trimmimg shrubs in my flower beds. I went to a 40th B'day party for some friends then came home and bummed around.

What did you get done....

Got a quicky wash on the truck from the Pantherettes dance team my oldest daughter is a member of. They had a car wash fundraiser at a local gas station. Then came home and did a real wash on it.

gchemist · 06-19-2005, 10:48 PM

Looks like I'll be pulling the plugs and wires to find it.

Cleaned the house "typical sunday". Decided it was time to goo up the swap cooler with its anual coating of gunk, 102* according to the two banks I passed on my way to get the gunk. At least the trucks running good again.

**old Rusty C10** · 06-20-2005, 12:28 PM

mingoman · 06-20-2005, 01:22 PM

Well I'm working my 4 nights so havn't really done alot. Put a set of brakes on my father-in-laws truck and greased the bearings was about the only truck related thing. I did get to play with my fathers day present some though. They got me a old QRX-7001 Sansui receiver. I knew I had those kids for something!

87 Shortwide · 06-19-2005, 11:41 PM

That's a friend of our's 56 on the lift... It's nice, but I think ours will be more fun.

82c10 · 06-19-2005, 11:46 PM

from what i see 87 shortwide, i think yours will be more fun too, you can't see very much of your friend's, but i just love the fatties on the back, and the skinnies, on the front, what motor is that, it looks like a blown big block to me i can't see it very good,it could be a small block, what is it?

*mikesz* · 06-20-2005, 08:45 AM

Moved into my new house! The basement is mostly unfinished. The front garage goes all the way to the other end of the house. I can fit 3 cars deep on that side easily.

Clos'84TX · 06-21-2005, 04:24 AM

Well I took my truck down to a buddy of mine to install my gears...on the way my truck was rough sounding. So then I looked down and discovered I have NO oil pressure, I drove the quickest route to my folks place. Oil pump failure. great now I have another thing added to the list. Maybe I'll have my truck back Friday...Hopefully I stopped the engine in time.

do you actually have no oil pressure? or is you guage just malfunctioning? if you didnt have any knocks, i'd almost bet on the guage.

My Heads were making some pretty bad noises. and I wasn't ready to gamble on if the the gauge is bad. My friend will probably start working on it tomarrow.....guess I'll see soon.

*1FaastC10* · 06-22-2005, 01:08 AM

heads dont typically make noises when you run them low on oil. my guess is you've got big problems. if it was already knocking, you didnt shut it down in time.
