Today was one of those few days I get where the gal was at work, the baby went to the sitter, and I was off and had the whole day to do nothing but work on the truck. It was great! I set out to fix leaks but got a lot more done. I disassembled my ps pump and sealed it all back up, hooked up my oil pressure gauge since the pump was out of the way, swapped out my steering box for one with no slop (she was beginning to wander like a gypsy), replaced the front pinion seal, replced the t-case output seal, put a new gasket on the rear diff cover, and still managed to hook up the rest of my triple gauge set and wire it for lights. It felt great to get all that stuff done and have no real time constraint to do it! That used to be what my weekends were always like but not so much anymore.
The only bad part is that now I know what my oil pressure is.
It's hard to believe since it still runs fine, but once she's warmed up there is 0 psi at idle. Running down the road it only gets up to about 15. I guess 43 years is a good run for a 360 in a 5400 lb truck, but it seems to be at the tail end of it's usable life. It's a good thing I've been getting back into my 300 build! This just adds some extra fuel to the "get it done" fire.
