Well my wiring replacement didn’t fix my issue. Tahoe almost left me stranded after it stalled and wouldn’t start twice on my ride home. I think I found a splice in the ECT sensor harness wiring that could be bad. I ended up wiggling it after it wouldn’t start and it made it home after that. So maybe it just needed replacing.

Pretty sure I fixed it, the pintail had been sliced previously and it looked like the splice had failed. All fixed and survived a run to the only store in town, the one and only MOPHOin Dollar General. Where I picked up some washing chemicals and gave this sloot a scrubbing.

Also gave my ranger a wash down because I took it to the Offroad park by my house this morning. They had an event for people who apparently are infatuated with lining their dashes plastic water fowl. Was able to show up some very expensive rigs with ye ole danger ranger. This thing is impressive with the addition of the front locker. The suspension is just so dang good it really makes stuff lock easier than it should. It does need a doubler tho, I tried some rock crawling on man made obstacles and I don’t like having to ride the clutch that much. A doubler is definitely in its future.

Ol danger ranger got some flex!

Those Deaver 64” springs in the rear do the lords work well! The hydro bumps were working well along side them as well. The front is no slouch either, but the front has a lot more down travel than up and doesn’t look as obvious in pics. Iirc I measured 14”front and 17” rear. But I think the rear will pull more than that I just don’t have a great way to test it in the shop without disassembling the leafs packs which is a pita.

Tahoe made it to work and back so I’m calling the ECT issue mended. I think my next thing to do on it is fix the exhaust. The QTP cutout quit working so I need to diagnose that (prob another burnt up motor from holding the switch to long). If it’s bad I’ll probably just redo the whole damn thing and buy a big mandrel bend kit along with two new mufflers I found that I think will be quiet. Highly considering just doing dual 2.5”.

Ordered new door markers for this and decided I needed to pull the door panel off to resecure the tweeter that had called out of its mount long ago. Upon removing the door panel I realized this must be the first time I’ve ever removed it, at least since I had the audio done in 2019. I know this because I paid those kaksuckers to dynamatt the doors and they clearly didn’t put any at all.

So I slapped some insulation on, zip tie stitched the tweeter back into place and buttoned it back up. Except the door marker because the wires were clipped and I need a new pigtail.

Might knock the other side out tomorrow since that tweeter also fell out of its spot.
