What did you do to your Mopar today?

I don't think so. I jacked the front end up and turned the wheels lock to lock to blow any air out. I took it through the subdivision across the road, which has both left and right turns. It worked O.K., But coming straight down the highway, back to my place I felt the steering firm up. No power steering to turn in my laneway. I jacked the front end up again, and ran the steering lock to lock about a half dozen times again, with no change. I am so pi$$ed off, I can hardly look at the f@@king thing!
 
Put pumpkin in and axles ,brakes, and diggers I swapped gears 4:55 to 3:70

I had a vertigo attack yesterday and didn't make it to Moparfest. I felt a bit better today so I went to Jarvisfest here in town.

Yes, my buddy Bill went yesterday and said it poured a couple of times. He came with me today rather than going back. And yes that is a 12 valve Cummins.

I replaced nearly everything with lights. Brake warning light, Oil light, turn signal linkage and high beam light on the dash. Needed to melt down the dark red high beam indicator light because it nearly didn’t shine through the plastic so I glued down a light blue plastic piece I cut out of a file holder from my desk. After all that I drove around the block and realized the speedo started jumping again and the steering wheel wasn’t centered…
 
Loaded it with 75 year old hardwood flooring that a tenant (well...her dog) destroyed.

Pains me to do it, but the stuff is completely trashed. Firewood now. Got another room to do tomorrow (that'll be another half load probably).
 
Reshot my quarters.. and somehow did worse than the last time... Never had soo much trouble painting something before.. have both fenders just about ready for paint but am kind of afraid to shoot em now
 
Day2 of replacing the power-steering lines in my 99 LHS. What a PITA!! The high line rotted out, between the line and rubber cushion on the frame rail.

Clean up weekend. Rented an extractor and went to town on the truck interior. It's now drying in the sun. Looks tons better. lol. Doing the Elantra tomorrow. $43 bucks for the weekend including a pump up spray bottle with three gallons of cleaner. Deal.

Put cleaner on the floor mats and then pressure washed them till the water was clean...lot of dirt in the fronts...going to order a set of Weather Tech mats for the winter though, save the cloth ones for the summer months.

I need to figure out a hack for cleaning seat belts too.....anyone know a good method?

Put them in the washing machine they come out pretty nice.

Saw a vid about using one of those cutlery cleaning gizmo's with the brushes inside that cleans both sides of a fork at once. Just slide the belt between the brushes and scrub. Seemed to work well. took a few minutes each belt using liquid cleaner and a clean wet cloth to rinse. My belts in both the truck and the car are really grungy.
