Now that we have found out Gropey McPantsshitter. Myorkis and whoever else was involved having flown in over 300,000 illegal aliens into this country on the tax payer dime completely bypassing the border all together.
Simply have The Speaker of the House drop this document down on the desk of whoever is in charge of the U.S. Marshalls and give them an ultimatum.
Doesn’t necessarily make you stronger but at least you ain’t dead.
Hopefully I can finish this job without it killing me.
I coulda sworn I heard a belt chirping or some kind of squeal on the way home yesterday but the traffic noise was bad.
After I got home from work tonight and went to shut the truck off I heard it again. Definitely a belt chirp.
So I opened the hood and the first thing I see is the serpentine belt wandering around on the water pump pulley.
Fuck, Me.
I shut it off, went back under the hood and grabbed the fan blade to give it a wiggle.
Bigger than shit the fan and the pulley start wobbling back and forth.
More and fouler language followed.
I took a few minutes to take in what all was involved, came in the house and hit YouTube to refresh my memory.
I’ve done Dodge 318 water pumps before but it’s been a long time ago.
And since this one is in a 3/4 ton 4 Wheel Drive, it’s up and in way farther than a passenger car.
A quick call to have a pump set out and a trip to the parts house lightened my bank account $139 but the pump it’s self was like $90.
I snagged a few other goodies.
I came home and started in because it was nice and sunny out.
It’s supposed to start raining tomorrow until next Thursday.
Of Course!
As you can see I did manage to get the old one out and judging by that nasty red high temp silicone, this won’t be the first water pump replacement at only 120,000 miles…
I’m here to tell ya, my body just can’t take much more of this shit.
As it is, I see it’s been so long since I have used my precious Snap On Impact Sockets that some of them are covered in rust.
50 lashes with a wet noodle for that sin.
Sweet Jesus now I gotta go through all those tools out there and clean them up and oil them.
First I gotta finish this little project.
Hopefully I can get this done without doing permanent injury.
Between my belly button and my ankles I have EIGHT clogged arteries.
My legs give out from just being on my feet too long and on a good day I might get 100 feet walking before they shut down and I have to stop.
Standing on a big step stool and kneeling on the winch and brush guard bar going across the top of while laying over the top of the radiator to get at it it ain’t much fun either.
Nor is standing on my tip toes trying to get to certain radiator shroud bolts.
But it’s gotta get done and if I can help it, I ain’t paying a shop $500 to do it, like I could even get an appointment this month.
So you know where I’ll be tomorrow.
In the fucking rain.
I’m damn sure not going out there before noon. I’m going to at least let it warn up some first.
The cheap sets usually come with a Chinesium POS tap wrench in the first place. I ran across this and thought I would share it because it looks ;like it works.
