2005 Tundra just got new timing belt, water pump, cam seals, plugs, serpentine belt and belt tightener pulley put on it. First major work done to the truck since I have owned it. The only other thing I have done to it is replace the fluids and one set of front brakes, still has the original rear brakes after 135k on it.

When I had the 2" lowering springs put on the rear I also had Belltech Street Performance shocks put on. Well after 6 months of ridding around with jaw breaking shit on every bump we hit, I finally emailed CPP. I told them that their tech guy steered me in the wrong direction on the shocks. I did some looking and found the Belltech shocks were for "G" body cars.......mine is a "A" body. They wouldn't own up to the mistake but did tell me that KYB shocks makes a shock for 2" drop. I got the correct shocks and put them on today..........man what a difference.

So far they've replaced the USB socket itself...then the wiring harness...now after contacting Ford, their thinking it's some control module.
At every repair step, the part had to be ordered and shipped overnight then installed upon arrival.
I've got a new Edge for a Loaner. Wanted a Mustang...
Actually owned one of these when they first came out in '07. Our son now owns that one. Not much difference between those model years.

Just gathering parts, I have a few jobs to do that are in my way currently. Going to get his C10 finished up by the end of this week. Then paint the hood for the LeMans next week. After that, I should be able to start on my truck. And possibly get back to work on my 72' by the end of the year.

Thought some of you might find this interesting.

The hydoboost on my C3 exploded last weekend at Road Atlanta. Thankfully not while on track but in the paddock with the hood up and the engine off. It sounded like a shotgun went off when it happened. I was under the rear of the car looking at my half shafts and thought the front tire popped.

Crazy...



When the cylinder blew off, it had enough force to crack the reinforced section of the hood completely through and spider the paint on the top side

Replaced the front anti-sway bar on the motorhome with a heavier duty one. Checked oil level in front hubs. It's down to minimum level so guess I'll have go get some. Need to check level in diff, maybe today if it stops raining.
