Ok, remember the first maiden voyage where the brakes gave out and the radiator spilled all the water, got towed, and then the second maiden voyage where it caught on fire, and all the “it’s alive, ITS ALIVE” stuff? Well, today (Roman Caesar trumpet salute!!!), I drove the 87 4wd 15 miles today!!!
I had the second Covid shot yesterday, so I wasn’t sure at first that I wasn’t simply delirious, but yes, it went forward, steered and stopped pretty much as I wanted it too, almost every time!!
On the brakes, I took them apart (stuck), couldn’t find anything, put them back together (4th time), and they worked perfectly. I was almost disappointed in my frustration. Only thing I can figure is that the outboard pad with the clip wasn’t seated properly.
So, it was 70+ and gorgeous in Atlanta, but from the shot I had no energy, so I went over to the PAP glass shop and got a new windshield installed for $165. Here’s a pic
It’s hard to believe it’s the same truck when it’s not on fire!!
