- skimaskExplorer-Installed new fuel lines, new electric fuel pump, filters before and after the pump, oil pressure switch for fuel pump cutout, toggle switch for bypassing the oil pressure switch if needed
-New plugs, wires, cap, rotor, new ballast resistor, new ignition module (old ones are spares now)
-Manufactured a new battery tray and supports
-New battery cables and basically all new primary wiring because I was in the area anyway
-Replace the starter relay, old one is a spare now
-Installed a good external tranny cooler inline with the radiator cooler
-Put the air conditioning box back up in the dash since I can't do anything with it now anyways
-Put the instrument panel back in the dash after cleaning up the wiring a bit
-Rolled the rig back about 2ft to keep the tires from flat-spotting while it sits there while I work on it
-Changed the oil/filter, changed the tranny fluid and filter, swapped out the air filter
-Flushed out the coolant system as best I could. Couldn't get the bolts out to replace the thermostat, didn't want to turn on them too hard in case I break them off. I'll wait until the thermostat breaks, then deal with it
-Pushed a couple of pints of fresh brake fluid up thru brake system, right rear done, three to go
-Lubed up all the cables for the hot/cold, defrost, air flow on the 'climate' control box
-Lubed up the parking brake cable
-Lubed up the whole front end
-Flushed out the rear diff
-Moved the outer rear tires so the valve stems weren't in the same place. A friend suggested that if a rock got caught between the two tires, it might take out both valve stems at once, so maybe it's a good idea to have the valve stems 1/2 way around from each other. Good idea...
-Swapped out the incandescent headlights for halogen headlights (old ones are spares now)
This has been a long day...and I got another one just like it on tap for tomorrow...
JDG - JesseJ1826ExplorerGot her out of the shop, lube, oil change, tranny fluid change, new Monroe shocks. Have to arrange emmission test next week.
Spend, spend, spend, - never seems to stop. - ChardonnayExplorerCleaning our 2007 Jayco Greyhawk, getting ready to make a trip, however, cannot figure out why the electic awning will not work.
- Deb_and_Ed_MExplorer III just took this picture for another thread - it shows my 18" X 24" "cafe" pedestal dinette table and our relocated 15" LCD-TV

The TV is mounted on a swing-out arm; in this picture, it's in the stowed-for-travel position - ALnCORYExplorerYes Ron, Very nice looking job....
Dropped mine off at the tire dealer for new treads and shocks... getting it ready to head to Denver next month. - RipsnortExplorernice work ronfisherman!
- Rich_PanganibanExplorerJust unloaded the RV from the weekend trip...back to the storage lot : (
- ronfishermanModeratorFinished install of Allure flooring in our MH. Got rid of all the carpeting except for slide. Also replaced all the cheap vinyl. Need to get all the stuff back in place that was removed during install.

- jakedaddyExplorerI fixed the drawer under the refrigerator. After 10 years, the staples had pulled out, causing some small items to get "lost" over time as the bottom would drop just enough for stuff to slide or roll out as we drove. Some wood glue and screws later (I HATE staples), and we're as good as new again.
- WestronicsExplorerFixed the door locks. A wire came out of the after-market remote key entry wiring harness which kept the locks from working even at the physical switch.
Now they will lock and unlock, instead of only locking.
