Hitting a deer.

I hauled the truck to Red Deer yesterday to have the salvage inspection done. It passed. This morning I went to the insurance office and told them the truck was done, gave them the pictures of the truck after the repairs were done. I now just have to stop back at the registries to activate the...

Hitting a deer.

I painted the top of the PCM. Since the original was black. Now I can say I still have a black box. I still have to get my wiring tidied up since I had to take the tap back off to check my wires. I hope to find some 1 1/2 wire loom to go over the wires. I know where I am able to get some, it is...

Hitting a deer.

I found my problem. I was giving a tip that I followed and removed the MIL light wire from the connector grounded it out and sure enough the Service Engine Light comes on. Have to get a different PCM. At least I can flash this one.

Hitting a deer.

I am working on the second to the last thing I need to do before truck goes for inspection on Monday. The MIL light. Ever since I swapped the 411 PCM into my truck it never worked. I should have looked into that right away. a year and a half later I am doing that. Found I had the wrong wire...

Hitting a deer.

Here is the front bumper I am using. Stupid me put the grille and filler in place before the bumper, I ended up removing it again to get the bumper on. These side pieces I had to drill a small hole in the fender so I could secure them in place with a screw. I thought the antenna was...

Hitting a deer.

I stripped off the rust from the rear bumper brackets. Then painted them. I took the new rear bumper out of its box and found out the brackets off my old bumper won't work. I was trying to save some money which isn't going to happen now, after taking the piece off my old bumper, I found none...

Hitting a deer.

That really sucks, when the person that caused the accident leaves. To bad you didn't have witnesses. I had a witness when my car was hit by someone making a left hand turn in front of me when I had the right away. This happened in October last year, Car was totalled. Bad luck seams to come in...

Hitting a deer.

I did some measuring. The lower rad support mount was a 1/4 inch farther back then the right side. That is the side that hit the deer. That is how I come up with that deduction.

Hitting a deer.

Seams like last fall was very bad for me. In September the engine spun a bearing. Get a new engine, just get over 1000 miles on engine, at 6 am a deer decided to turn around and run in front of the truck. This was my mistake, I called the insurance company and reported it. I got an estimate at...

I managed to get a lot done today. It snowed last night so if you noticed on some of my pictures the quad with the blade is pinned in by the truck. I need to adjust the tow in, the camber a little and my ride height. then torque my suspension bolts. Then get the fenders in place. It is getting...

Lower Control Arms

The main reason why I had to repair my front suspension, I hit a deer, the truck was wrote off due to the cost of damages and the value of the truck. Even though I had just put in a 383, it didn't matter. We bought the truck back. The truck has to get a salvage inspection once it is...

The left side was just as rusted up at the right side. Now that they are off I can start putting my front suspension back on and also remove the brackets off the bumper. I did buy new keys, so I got new bolts and the nut they use to hold the keys in place. :cool:
