little miss. to-do list pg 38 and first post

[hobospyder]

That's kinda how I sit in my 620, but I had to get a smaller steering wheel because my middle leg would rub. Lol

yeah i don't drive around with a hard on all the time. if i don't need it or think it might get me in trouble i just take mine off

 

 

Still no shoes! Rock it

 

as soon as i can take them off i do. usually pile up my dirty socks in my vehicle from not remembering it when i get home so i have to grab them on laundry day. hate shoes

[q-tip]

Youre telling me you don't let Gary Oldman drive?

[hobospyder]

No that fucker sucks at driving.

[hobospyder]

no real update but a picture from yesterday. haven't been having any issues since the battery, still need to get tranny fluid swapped, maybe next weekend.....

 

 

asked my daughter if she wanted to take little miss or carrie for the hour drive to everett and she said little miss. so that made me happy

 

:thumbup:

[hobospyder]

Correction about no issues. My truck is pissing coolant in the parking lot. Lower rad hose, alternator took it out

[hobospyder]

Closest parts house is

 

 

Almost back at the truck to remove the hose to walk to oreilleys and back

[hobospyder]

Nevermind confused hobo is confused

 

 

And driving

What was the issue? Someone else's leak? 

[hobospyder]

No, I knew it was gonna happen and didn't fix it. In my alternator fiasco a few pages back I had bought a first over belt for the new alternator that didn't go on. Used it with stock replacement alternator, interference between alternator and lower rad hose

[hobospyder]

As seen here

 

 

Not constantly in contact but upon applying load to the engine definitely was chewing it up

 

Definitely little miss that's leaking too

 

[]2eDeYe]

I see, well at least your taking care of it now :)

[hobospyder]

Kinda. I should ask them for a belt while I'm here

[hobospyder]

So, since I'm here, purchased new pre mix cool t (again) oil and filter and new belt to be done when I get home.

 

 

Also had to pull the rad and fan shroud to get the lower hose off. Both lower and upper hoses were basically glued onto the rad. Ordered new ones of each, gotta wait till noon, at least that's when they said they'd get here...

 

 

 

Already put the rad back in, waiting on hoses to put the shroud back in. Debating walking to the mall to waste some time but damn, I still have 2 hours and 45 minutes. Great idea hobo, don't do it right the first time so you have to come back and do it again. Just goes to show, listen to king rat when it comes to alternator and hose clearance issues. Needless to say I'll pay more attention to that next time.

[KoHeartsGPA]

Good catch hobo!, ya mine is close too so I check for contact every time I pop the hood, so far none.

[hobospyder]

I knew it was coming. Was keeping an eye on it. Belt is now replaced with smaller size so I don't have to risk popping another hole on the way home.

 

 

And this is all you need to ruin your drive

 

[Rick-rat]

Been there, done that too, Hobo

[hobospyder]

Heading home, all better

[]2eDeYe]

Been there, done that too, Hobo

 

 

Everyone has in one way or another :lol: 

[hobospyder]

back where she belongs, such a good feeling.

 

 

hoses, old and new

 

 

also, ratsun fix. was wandering around oreilleys multiple times while i was there. got to sitting in the truck and remembered i saw this stuff on one of the shelfs

 

 

and i got to thinking "hey i got these rattling doors that i'm a bit tired of listening to"

 

so i picked it up and put a couple strips on the doors to see if it worked

 

 

wouldn't be posting this unless i had good news, which i do. worked wonderfully to get rid of the rattle. when i get the truck painted i have weather seals for the doors (and everything else) but until that point i now have a temp fix so i don't have to listen to rattling doors all the time

thanks. And yeah I should've probably put that in here instead of jacking mhubs thread

[kingfuzzz]

HAHA all good. Im excited to build one. I have some time before I get one, need a house and garage first. Look forward to learning a lot tho.

[hobospyder]

I was renting a duplex with a "2 car" garage when I first got this truck. I now have 3 620's amongst all my vehicles (8). Be careful what you wish for, there's an addiction to datsuns that happens

Might be one coming up for sale in Mt. Vernon soon, doesn't run

[2wheel-lee]

I could imagine how that can happen. Sometimes when you need parts, it's easier and cheaper to buy another complete vehicle. At least up in your area. Down here, it's hard to find parts, let alone reasonably priced trucks.
