Default What did you do to YOUR truck today?

Hopefully there isn't already one of these. This is specifically for the '87-'96 trucks on this board. So go ahead, instead of starting a new thread for something small, why not post up what you guys have done to your truck today in this thread!

I'll start, since my tach has been broken since I bought my truck, I finally went to the junkyard and pulled all the gauges out of a '91 and '87 save the speedometer, to swap to mine. I have a working tach now! Sadly it didn't fix the gas gauge, but hey, one outta 2 ain't that bad. I'm taking back the rest later

Put a Mark8 Electric fan on my truck and swapped door windows for windows with awesome darker tint. Oh, and found a big **** bubble in my back right tire.

-Changed my smog pump
-Changed my bracket for my A/C and power steering pump -The guy who rebuilt the motor rigged a 4.9L bracket to my 5.0L motor and it has been eating belts since.
-Cleaned my throttle body, ICV, and EGR valve
-Changed my TPS
-Changed my o2 sensor
-Went to junkyard and got a fan shroud and air intake hose to replace the old busted ones on my truck
-Pulled off all the old A/C stuff and will be installing a new system this weekend.

Also found that my power steering pump was leaking around the shaft and will have to replace it also.
