What did you do to/with your van today?

[Lumpy]

Took a trip to the local pull-a-part...

Didn't find any Astro "wagon wheels". Still looking for just ONE
if anyone has one. Just a single, stock wheel, for use as a
full sized spare. Rubber doesn't matter, I'll replace that.

I got a cheap $40 chrome steel mag at discount tire for a full size spare...looks pretty bad when I have to use it, but it gets the job done.

Oh that would never do in my case. Rotating the spare through the normal tire rotation I don't want a "sore thumb" for a wheel.

hmmmm... that's a concept I never considered....get 41,000 miles out of a set of 40,000 mile tires
but then I'd have to buy 5 insteda 4

:-k
My math says that the van should do 50k miles by the time the tires all have 40k miles.

And today...case closed!

I found a set of four, used wagon wheels for $50.
The seller said "One of them is painted a different
color, so you can have all four for $45. Use the xtra
five bucks for a can of spray paint"

Me happy. Me have lots of wheels..

drove the 92 to the office since i need to replace the ALT in the 87. I was afraid I was not going to make it home yesterday, in the rain with the bad traffice and dying alternator...

new windshield for the 2000.... it had multiple bb holes and a crack across the top just above the rear view mirror. $92 for glass, $50 for installation + $35 for gasket set...... = $177.

Spent two days moving furniture and stuff for my folks. I am beat tired and my ride has new battle scars :(

It is quite amazing what can be carried in our vehicles yet alone how much!

I washed the outside and vacuumed the inside. It was dirty from hauling firewood from our last Big Bear camping trip.

[ihatemybike]

Washed the Badlands off it and started assessing damage.

Grumpy: Cleared a P0753 code with my ScanGaugeII to see if it's reoccurring. Van seams to be shifting ok.

[ihatemybike]

Had the P0753 come back and lost OD.
