It was time for annual MOT inspection. Accepted with flying colors - which is nice.

Bought a new battery, Yuasa YBX3113.

Old Trane was working still but according to date it was 8 years old.

I feel for you. You deal with heat, sand and dust. I've got the heat and dust.

Still waiting for my passenger side window motor, so thought I’d replace the gear shift lever on my ‘12 Ram. The +/- button magically stopped working shortly after the stealership replaced the cruise control cluster. Bastards.

Got the steering column fascia all apart, snapped in the new ones connector and locator plug. Then, while prying the bracket apart slightly to run the wire through, I snapped the bracket in half. Son of a motherless goat!
It’s a cast piece. Surprised the crap out of me when it snapped. Didn’t expect it to be so whimpy. Trying a shade-tree fix, but doubt it’ll work. Likely looking at replacing the whole bracketry assembly. PITA
It’s the cast dull silver piece that the gear shift lever arm sets into. Snapped it right in half :-(

that sucks. Especially since it is one of those stupid little parts you will have to go to the stealership and spend the time helping them look at the pics and find the right piece. And then it will come in and be the complete wrong piece. I just played this game with my brother when he was in town to do a quick fix on his car.

Got told I should work on it more often.

Put the bigger pulley back on the car . I wanna say this one max’s around 14.5 psi . Should keep my fuel system happy for the time being until my new pumps and 2.5 bar map sensor get here . I’ll take it for a rip later or tomorrow. Had to take my truck to the dealership a few hours away to get the exhaust manifolds replaced under warranty .

Got ‘er dun! Brackets and new gear shift lever went in fine. Luckily I remembered to set the new bracket lever position same as the one that came out. Worst part was getting the upper and lower steering column fascia lined up and threading those spindly little Torx 15 screws into narrow plastic channels. But all’s well that ends well and it’s buttoned up nicely. Result!!

Look. Progress.



@lwarrior1016 should be pleased.

Thats one big AZ throttle body. Anyhow, what did you do? Wire tuck?

 

[RAU03MACH]

took it out to see the dust on it and took it for a spin knock off some dust
getting it ready to clean up and buff out paint

 

[96blak54]

Buffed or not, the pictures look great!

 

[RAU03MACH]

you can see dust bunny's waving at you
the paint is needing a bad detail
