I been doing maintenance on the vehicles. More like looking the van over and the truck needs things. But after the checks I pulled the muffler off of the truck today. Ordered a new one. It is a 4WD and I mainly only use it in the snow. So it gets a beat down from salt and snow. That muffler is only a few years old but it is shot.

Been fighting a no start issue since Friday. Finally heard it run briefly today, now it appears that I need to reset the VATs system. I will give it a shot tomorrow, I need to get it sorted out soon. It is going on the chassis dyno Monday morning at 8:30. (The 26th)

Starting installing a set of headers on the motorhome. Of course one of the studs was busted already busted off below the surface of the head. All the rest backed out without any problem. Got the busted stud out, hung the header and connector pipe. Have to start on the other side now. A lot less access on the drivers side. You would think a motorhome would be easy but I'd much rather install new heads and headers on the Chevelle then install headers on the motorhome.

Got it running this afternoon, still working out a few kinks. I plan to put about 100 miles on it this weekend.

Son, buys a new 2017 Volkswagen Jetta, the other night. I get a call yesterday that his wife took it out for a drive and a logging operation had dropped mud and good size rocks on the road. With on coming traffic she was unable to miss a large rock, bent the rear right rim, tore off the brake caliper and damaged the rear control arm. Car with only 100 miles on and about $3000 in damages. Have to wait a least a week for parts and now trying to get damages from the logging company.

Took it for a short ride this morning, still working out a few bugs. But, happy to have it moving under it's own power again.

Putting it to work this morning. Shuffling around some vehicles so I can get the C10 on the lift.
