I have another work project ahead of me.


Many years ago, I guess Bubba (Jeanne's hubby) He must have bought these then? I found them while I was cleaning out the back shed at our old house, (2709 27th street) This was done about two years ago, while moving to our new home. here. Well, I think these will help us get the boat on the trailer much easier. This way we can guild the boat in in the middle of the trailer and load her up. 


Alright I found some trailer wire in the shed too. So, I stored it in our here. We are all set to hook everything up and get it done. 
I have thew wire stung and ready to hook up to the lights, turn signals and brake lights. 



WHY WOULD THERE BE TWO (2) BROWN WIRES IN THIS SET????? 
Man, I tried wiring them up and just kept having no lights. The brown wire is confusing me BIG TIME. I think I wasted more than two hours trying to get it to work. 
I drove over to the Trailer Supply Store. Got four wire that was four different colors. Man, wire prices have gone up too. 
Rewired with the new wire. 




 I didn't take a picture of the new wire. I am being lazy, I have it out in the shed, just don't feel like walking out there to get it. 
I got up this morning and just wanted to show you the difference. 


Wow, they work and ready to show them to my wifey. She came out and looked and asked me why are they so low? I told her I thought, that would be, okay? NOT? 
So I rewired them and two more hours later. All done. Meanwhile, My Ranger, has a blown head gasket. I will explain down a ways. 



You can see the sun is going down now. Okay she came out and loved them. They work and everyone is happy now. I was inpressed how nice they look and work too. 


Okay now this problem I have on my little truck. About three months or so. My truck was overheating. I would check for water leaks under her. Nothing at all. Where is the antifreeze going to? 
I check driving her and putting water in and checking each time I drove her. No water. I took it over to get a new gas pump on her. It has been giving me some trouble starting her. It would take three times to start up. So I took it over to TR Garage. It is Fort Pierce (Downtown) Dropped it off and asked him, to check and do a pressure test on the radiator. He put in a new gas pump and tested the pressure and could not find any leaks. So after paying him $1151.00 for the work he did. I open the hood and pulled the dip stick and found water in the oil. He must have pushed the pressure and made the hole a little bigger in the head gasket. I have used this before and it worked for a little while, that was many years ago, on another Ranger I had. Okay, I think I paid $50.00 at Advance Auto. I put this in while working on the boat trailer. It needs to be put in and run for a hour at idle speed. 



Okay finished the trailer and walked over and turn the engine off and went in and cleaned up and had dinner. 
Greta day, got some big projects done and very happy. 
Have a WONDERFUL FATHER'S DAY.
