So after a wedding at 10am, I headed home to drop the wife off for a gig she had. After that, we are going to a potluck but that is a 6pm tonight. So I had things I wanted to do.
The PO of the truck told me right before I showed up (I had already test driven it a little over 1 week prior) he got the wiring for the speedo hooked on something and snapped the wires. Sure enough, no reducer, VSS, or wiring. Found it kinda tucked up behind the engine, on top of the bell-housing with what I assume is the reverse lights wires. I had an extra VSS laying around but no plug... Hmmm. I cut the plastic off of 1 end of a blue wire splice. Fits really snug on the poles inside the VSS. I found the wire for the speedo (white/orange tracer) and guessed as to which one it might be. Grounded the other. I now have a working speedo that is 30% off. But it works now.
I tried to fix the steering but said phuck it, I am going to find another one. I figured while I was at my in-laws, I would go check out the back 40. They have some really prime and nice land. Here are some photos from it.
Where I came from
Natural stone quarry
That pond is spring fed with a creek running around it. Some big bass in there. I caught a 20" once
Just showing some of the farm in the horizon
Also I found a 3' high berm that was a compost pile from the previous owner of the property. They hadn't used it in 10 or so years. So I decided to flex a little...
Backed up to it
33" fits right up in there
Pulled up to it
Leaf springs can flex...
A lot it seems
Then some cool photos
I am probably going to do some things different with this trucks' direction. I like this way too much and I would like to see some cool country.
