What did you do to your truck today?

I replaced the bushings with nuts in my passenger side motor. Works great again.
I have heard of using nuts in place of the plastic pieces, which sounds like it would hold up better. But aren't they made to "give"? Of course, that makes them prone to wearing out, I guess...but I would guess that the plastic gear would just get chewed up if it was under too much stress. Anyway, I got the new "Help" set. I figure plastic held up for 115k miles. If I get half that, I'm doing pretty good.

I figured that. It's fixed but there's nothing to stop it from crushing someone's fingers now. But I'm by myself with that door locked and window up 90% of the time so I'm not really worried about that. It's a great temporary fix if you need your window to stay shut.

Tried to find out why my truck will not start. No fuel coming to the the motor, thought it might be the fuel pump. Did some checking and found no power at the plug to the pump. Check the relay and it is ok

Installed re-covered dash pad
A friend of mine at work sewed up a really nice cover and installed it over my old cracked dash pad. Turned out great!
