Let me talk about my brief hiatus…
I grew up mostly without a garage. From the time I was 11 years old until I was 25, I didn’t have a garage. I became a car guy without a place to park one inside… I learned to work on cars outside. Honestly, I wasn’t a giant fan… But, we make do.
Under the covers...
This past week I went to visit my mother. She has been in the same house since I was 14 years old. Still no garage. And my truck decided to have a failure. Specifically, the fuel injection wiring harness inside one of the valve covers failed. It stopped sending fuel to four of the eight cylinders… and that diesel truck is too big to be a 4 banger…
So, anyway, I got to go back to my roots. I got to pull the valve cover and replace the wiring harness in the driveway. I even got to do it with a small tool kit. I think the lack of some specific tools added a couple of hours to the job. At least this time I was wearing gloves so I didn’t have to spend an hour trying to get the grunge out from under my fingernails…
Boy am I glad to be back…
