Progress on repairs has been slow.

Starter took a crap on me, kept having to bump it to get it to engage, quick trip to O'reillys and that problem was solved. Also changed the oil in it last weekend.

I have a GIANT parts pile for this thing that I need to get cranking on, just been way to busy with other things.

Hopefully now that I have another vehicle to drive I can have this one be down for a few days while I really tear into it.

It got a little love from my junkyard run today too. Another passenger interior door handle bezel (this is like the 4th one I've had for it, they all break), a new trailer plug robbed off of a GMT800 (I like the pinout they have on the cover for each wire), and a tailgate bezel.


I did put her to work today, hauled home my FREE 2008 Jeep Patriot with a supposedly blown transmission, battery was dead when we got it so I can't tell for sure what's wrong. Company wanted it gone.

Also found out the brakes on my $200 car hauler WORK!

This thing has jealousy issues......

This month I've bought 5 other vehicles and in this same month I've had to replace the starter and battery.

And last night I found out the side tanks in the radiator are cracked and leaking......bought a new one already so that'll get replaced tomorrow.

I did get lucky and had the radiator crack while I was only 10 minutes from home, the night before I was 1.5 hours away picking up another truck. That would've been fun.

Anyone know of GOOD QUALITY fuel pumps? The one I replaced a year ago is out again. Reading 48 PSI..........unbelievable.........

That's two trucks down.....if the suburban goes out on me I'll be riding me nice new fancy four wheeler to work.
