I have orange thingy's now, keep them in a case safe (orange to!)
For the big orange thing, I have beat one of those for days and it never missed a beat!

I think the answer, Don, is "it depends". I've heard of trucks never having an issue with "pump rub", and some failing sub 100K miles.
To remedy the situation, you have to drop and split the case, then replace the oil pump inside. Let me dig up some pics from when I did mine and get them attached here... maybe I'll start a thread.

A stringer in the middle would be a good idea, too, but since they’re only temporary you should be fine.

Don I’m sure you could get $200-300 for those running boards. As I recall from our ‘02 burb back in the day they were like a $600-700 dealer option installed.

Changed the oil and fuel filters on the Dmax today. Found my lift pump is not lifting (no power) and all the fuses are good. I mean they are ALL good, inside and out!
Traced the power wire to the distribution center under the dash where I had installed a plug just to power things. The red wire is "ign on" power and worked fine, now nothing. It powered the water inj also so that is why that stopped too. The cut and the yellow wire were for the injection, just removed the splice.
So I am stumped as with no fuses being bad and everything otherwise working (sans dash lights). I could just wire it to another pin (green arrow) but would like to address the issue really.
Put a 1 way fuel valve in the suburban. Always hard to start with pump up top figuring the fuel is draining back. Quick fix until the lift and new filter goes in.
As Tate just said to Sam -- cut the wire and solder it. Those scotchlocks are dog excrement.

Is your spare under the rear on this thing? Think they did that and put a saddle tank in it.
Yes it would be on this year truck. They stopped doing the spare in the cargo area in the late 90s I believe. Garage looks better with the GM stuff rather than Mopar... ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice catch Ryan, You must have a really big monitor....you always catch detail. It is cat6 for a ubiquity AP. The closet to the right is the nerve center for the entire property. 100mb connection, video matrix switcher, HDMI baluns, all the , NVR, Satellite-DVR, DVD, network server, stereo, etc. It will then be piped to the main house and the seacan. Will be installing all Ubiquity POE camera's and access points
Thanks Ken, The stain turned out darker, much darker than what it was supposed to be but can't change it now. downstairs will have an arch top with a keystone over the windows and doors.
Standby JR, pics of the floor coming. It the upstairs its a Shaw carpet frisee with memory foam pad. Downstairs will be tile with a reclaimed wood look.
Dual 24’s and a 22” flipped portrait ;) And yeah, I’m a stickler for details as you have noticed (anal/OCD whatever you’d like to call it). I almost pulled the trigger on a Netgear Orbi system this weekend then discovered it isn’t true mesh, so I scrapped that idea and think I’ll just add a few ubiquity APs like the one I have now. Slowly working on getting my house retrofitted with cat6 runs for data and cameras to a central smart panel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I find one problem with this story... "Slowly, oh so slowly, the pressure seemed to leave the lower part of my body, and I began to move up the aisle and out of it, just as a red aproned clerk turned the corner and asked if I needed any help." Home Depot's aprons are Orange.

So did square D just get shoved outside in the weeds to make room for this one?!? 
It does look really good though. Kind of afraid to say I am also in the camp of "leave it alone". It's probably the best example left. But we all know you won't. So at least let us watch the train wreck!

Well i assume you don’t have a meter in it so the lines at the top are not hot.
I don’t see a neutral on the 100 amp from the garage.
You should have 2 legs of 120 and a neutral. Then your sub panel should have a separate ground rod and the panel should not be bonded to the ground.
Only the service entrance panel grin d and neutral should be bonded. That’s the only place your neutral and ground are together electrically speaking. In sub panels the neutral can be current carrying and bonding it to the grounds can lead to a risk of shock

X2 to what Charles said, but there should also be a ground back to the main panel in addition to the local ground rod. And it needs to be separated from the neutral at the sub panel as he said. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought there was an issue in the dash too, not just the outer bezel. Obviously I haven’t really researched it. I’ll leave that up to y’all ;)

Don. There is a company that retro fits the stock headunit to have Bluetooth and line outs for an amp. Keep it stick looking. The bezel you speak of is only made in black
Also if you ignore sage advice and do lift it. I need the crossmember and the little piece you have to saw off the crossmember mounting pocket please.

I must be the oddball... I really like my Makita set. About 10 years old and still going strong, though the batteries aren't lasting as long as they used to. Buddy of mine has an older Dewalt impact and it is on or off -- no in between. I use the impact for everything - can throttle it down real slow and set even the tiniest/most delicate of screws.

Chased a ground issue in my Peterbilt. All the chicken lights came on with the dome light when I open the door. Crazy. Wrestled the starter out of my new tinker toy the Nissan Pathfinder. That was fun. Not really.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a "she shed"?

One of our other houses is going much better than mine
Brick back splashing I did, I don’t like the idea but it will look nice

Custom hand rail by our welder/fabricator inside and outside of the house. It gets paint after inspection and all other trades are finished

9’ ceiling downstairs? Like advice in many of Don’s threads (ie, too little, too late)... ya know they make 4.5’ tall pieces so you only end up with one seam on those walls? :) Looks good though! Will look even better once it is mudded, textured and painted!
Hope they used screws and not nails on the ceiling pieces. I spent some time last Saturday pulling nails, replacing with screws and repairing about a dozen pops on my ceiling.
