Managed to get a lot done this weekend.
- fenders, lights and reflectors removed. Fun little surprise on the tail lights. :rolleyes:
- all the HUKs removed for bed removal. side mounted cut off wheel is the right tool for this job.
- side project on the dodge. Brakes.
- side project oil change on the Disco
- helped the kids breakdown the lmtv spare rim and tire. 25 mins. Not to shabby for a bunch of rookies.

Next:
- Plasma out the rear clip. And dispose of bed.
Lower rear clip down one level.
-ecohubs. And full axle/ctis/brake service.

Anyone going to be at Expo East this year?

I've been swamped with projects for weeks so haven't posted in awhile. Lots of stuff going on around here I see.

My only lmtv fix in weeks has been My block heater cord shorted out at the connector, (lots of popping and raised eyebrows), which I've seen on my other Cat equip before. The heater and it's connector are fine so I tried to find a cord only. Luckily I tracked it down with Napa's help.

KATS #28216

this fits the heater listed in the parts spreadsheet (and probably a slew of others). Only $30 instead of the whole heater kit. I bought 2 just in anticipation of the next burnout. IDK why these connectors are so cheap, seems like they can't take the heat.

who can add it to the parts spreadsheet?

No, they're pretty well tucked in.

The longest one is still some 4" recessed within the cab.

Sorry for the crappy pic, it's raining cat and dogs or I'd take a proper one.

I have the 2 trumpets in that spot, and the fire engine sputtering horn on top, on a chain valve. It's actually mounted within the roof rack right to left. Quite loud.
