He's good at building engines. But he's notoriously lazy and doesn't do something unless he's told many times to do it. He procrastinated it for a month and a half and then finished it in a week.

Got the wiring figured out on the back of my 98 Durango fog light switch so it can be used in my 96 Ram that didn't originally come with fogs. Now to make up a wiring harness!

Well my truck has now been sitting for a few days. We found a spot in the intake manifold gasket where it was blown. So now its put back together... Almost. The grommet for what my research has told me is the crankcase breather hose. On the driver side valve cover. The only two stores that list it (o Reilly and advance auto) do not have it in store and neither do their warehouse. So I'm in a bit of a predicament. We're working on ordering that and the vacuum lines for the 4x4 directly from Dodge

I managed to piece it together enough to salvage a part number 53030017 from it. Looks to have been replaced. Came up with Crown Automotive brand and looks right. I think I might just order that from jegs

Oooh, finally getting that damaged sucker pulled down. Bet that was fun.

I was thinking the breather grommet had a larger diameter hole than that, then again, I've never pulled mine out. :insane:

Put gas in it, dropped the old wheels from the 76 in the bed, then went to my girlfriend's concert.

Yes I remember that one. It was just me doing this so I was not able to take a vid, to bad as it was interesting to say the least. I will have more pix later.

Been away for a bit, my computer crashed.

Nothing new done to it, besides got my coolant leak fixed and the whole system flushed and filled with new coolant. Also checked out a D60 front, but couldnt agree on a price for it :(
