WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

[headbanging]

Changed the suspension arm upper ball joint.

Used my months quota of swear words as it came of.

Now time for

[Sir-Doris]

now i am going to remove the hanger, but it has some funky bolts in it, any one know what they are, i did try a pic, but its not showing up,

Would they be like Torx bits with a little stub in the centre? If so they are security bits and a pair of Molegrips work well. I couldnt find any large enough that didnt come in a very expensive set with a hundred other bits I didnt want.

If you had replaced both sides you could have done a ball joint flip

Replaced the coolant expansion tank. After 15 years (had hairline cracks in it when I got the truck 7 years ago) its finally started leaking. Not much but it was weeping coolant when the temp rose.

10 minutes later and a wee bit of fresh coolant and all hunky dory again.

Also since sorting out my intermittent engine management issue and cleaning the combustion chambers I seem to be enjoying reduced fuel consumption

They are security bolts, a bit like football boot studs. I used mole grips with a bit of innertube to line the jaws and clamped them tight as poss
