I'm moving in 16 days and will be closer to my young fella, who is about 2 months off finishing his HDD mechanic apprenticeship.
I've got a shopping list for him to do on my truck. First thing is to change all the fluids.
Then he has 15 years and 364 days of payback he owes me. hahaha
The little preek was seriously thinking of charging me for the service! I don't mind paying for the parts, but labour WILL BE mate's rates - until his debt is repaid - in full, and a bit more. lol
Plugged in the new scangauge and found that even though the tachometer was showing it idling at 450rpm it said 750rpm so I'm happy now I know it isn't idling slow
With an attitude like that, reckon we all get a free service when we pass your way LOLQuote:

Felt like a real goose when our mechanic showed me, hadn't even left his workshop before he had it fixed. At least it didn't cost me much...
Good luck mate, with the truck and the move.

Power/ battery issues recently . charged both batteries during the week and fitted both back in today , turns out my main starter battery has died . second batt is a normal type so put it in the starter spot and all good - for now .starter batt looked like original so for an 04 model I cant complain .
Started building Aluminium Rear Draws out of offcuts from aluminium trays I started a build post & posting pics in the DIY section here for anyone else to see & give me suggestions, all coments welcome
Cheers
Fitted new HD adj drag link, steering damper and new HD tie rod ends. Still need to fit the HD lower control arms this week.
Also fitted the chicken oil tray; damn awkward when filters are still in place!!! Looking forward to doing the oil change tomorrow though :)

Started fitting rear quarter storage units. Plywood and tools everywhere! :)
Took the Patrol to work today, had the work trailer on as it has all the power line gear.
Had to straighten a power pole. Winch was used to support it, dug around base pulled it verticle again added 9 bags of quickset and job done.
So we thought, we was bogged. Couldnt back up the hill and a creek in front of us. Mmmmmm.
Tied the trailer to a stump with the drag chain, un hitched so we could get the Ute clear then dragged the trailer round.
We had a bloody good time just like kids in a mud puddle.
Cheers Macca
Fitted 600 led light strip to my Awning.
removed IC to clean but was dry ,so was ok.
Fitted dawes and needle valve and all seems to be going well, just some fine tuning
Happy camper again.
Started to put the finishing touches to my home made rear storage in my GU but ran out of material try again next week.
Bought 2 slabs of Jacks Daniels cans and filled the car fridge. Oh yeah, also put 2 cans of Coke and 2 bottles of water.
At least you put the main stuff in first hey luv the way you thinkQuote:

I'm sure the last service they were around 80%, but I'll get it checked out anyway.
Put a new rear wiper blade on and got my tyre refitted.
Good to hear RoscoQuote:

GU is flying but a tad more boost see it perfect , and to think a few days ago I was prepared to burn it, very frustating. thanks to Chaz, Fish n surf and Boots and all others who PM'ed

Turns out the govt dept that had it only services it 3 times, only found out after weeks of tracking down the service history as the motor pool doesnt do them anymore apparently????Quote:

I use white vinegar with a sponge, I put white vinegar on the sponge I go on the glass and I wipe immediately with a dry lint free cloth.
