First Start in Over a Month
April 28th, 2010
This is a video from a few weeks ago. We had been working on the engine of the truck off and on for some time before this. We changed the fluids, filters, and belts. It took us a long time to change the air compressor belt because the pulley was stuck tight in place. Eventually I had to use a propane torch to heat the metal until it glowed. After that I was able to break it free.
The engine started beautify after sitting for over a month. I really love how dependable these trucks can be.
Disclaimer: Normally I take very good care of my truck, running it at least once a week.
