Cars. Can't escape 'em...

Cars! Cars! And more F'n Cars!! LOL. I just can't hide from em. I figured I'd take it easy today. No actual repairs to cars. Just clean mine up a bit, and put the carpet back down in the trunk after my sealer dried overnight for my fuel pump access door. Well, between that, and watching the race this evening, (which was fucking nuts. Craziest Talladega Race I have ever seen), my buddy Bob calls me and says he needs help. His truck broke down. I got no probs with that though, he's my best friend since forever, and we are like brothers. So over I go, after sneaking into the shop to grab a few tools, and start checking the basics. First I try checking for spark by hooking up my timing light, which of course I can't get to work, thanks to his freaking battery terminals. I have NEVER seen so much corrosion on batter terminals, and the vehicle still crank over strong. Amazing. I gave up with that real quick and checked for fuel. I hooked up my new fuel pressure gauge, and guess what, after cranking it over, nothing. I check the fuel pump fuse, which I assume was ok since there was no lableing on them. The fuse box just said, "See Owners Manual". LOL. Dodge. Fucking Nazi's. Whatever. Fuel pump is generally a 10-20 amp fuse, so I check those. None blown, and that basically leaves the fuel pump as the culprit. You can't hear it prime in the key on position. So my guess is the fuel pump is shot. With the way he drives that truck, I'm surprised it has run this long. It's been ran through Yankee Lake numerous times, Beat on in the woods and God knows what else. LOL. I never seen someone so hard on vehicles. I decided I would let him use my truck just for tonight. I trust him with it more than my sister, sad as that may be, but hey. I made it clear he has to be careful, and not to dirty it up. Well, once again, another weekend is out the door. I'm thinking I'm gonna go watch some of the football game and get ready for bed.
