I love to co-process....whatever...
If two things can be happening at once, so much the better.
Like...Draining the oil on the pressure washer while I walk to the tool shed to get the gas can with fresh gas in it.
That kind of thing.
Speaking of pressure washers...
I changed one muffler on the yellow truck this morning.
(Too lazy to change the other one....I'll wait until it needs it
)...
While the truck was up on the lift I noticed everything was filthy, and oily.
Most of the goo on the diff was from the pinion seal.
Ick... And after scraping and wire brushing it, the thing is leaking between the seal case and the pinion housing.
The seal lip is fine. The trans output seal is fine. The rear crank seal is fine.
The front crank seal is fine. The power steering pump as a teeny little drip on it.
The steering box....whoaaa....
That thing is leaking out of the input shaft and the output shaft.
Made note of those two things, and got out the pressure washer, which has been idle since last fall.
Prepped it for the season (see comment above)...
What sloppy drippy joy it is to clean the bottom of the truck up on a lift.
I need raingear like Matthew had on the other day.
Quick soap soak and then a quick wash (didn't want to trash the shop too bad)..
Quick leaf blower dry off....and a squegee of the floor..
Set up the big fan to help dry things off...
And into the house to yack on the forum (co-processing, you know!
) and eat lunch.
Bath and detail this afternoon. Big show next Saturday, and I will be in Viginia all week.
Pic's later...
