Chrome spline style lug nuts just came in for the pro comps... I really am starting to finally get excited about this expy build

Today I pulled the gauge package out separated the logic board and re-soldered the 3 pins for the odometer that had cracks on them. Odometer works flawlessly now.

How long did that take? Need to do it for mine.
About 40 minutes. The biggest issue was getting the damn light switch out. I think mine was already a little broken but a few of the melted clips that hold the face place on broke on the top trying to get it out. Honestly though its pretty easy. There is a video on how to do it and I can provide a few tips on how to do it faster. You don't need to take off as many screws as he indicates (and he says that later). The other thing I found easier was the pins that are damaged are on the circuit board and you can pull the plug that connects to it off. Makes soldering easier.

Did nothing to the expy today and that's the way I like it. A truck that needs nothing is a good truck.

Went to the local diner tonight, took the wife and we were hoping for a nice peaceful night but our luck there's a Tahoe & suburban meeting going on and I apparently took the only available spot with the expi in the middle of the entire meet haha man o man did all the ford jokes come out, but funny thing is we ate and when we were leaving the suburban next to me wasn't starting and as I got in the expy I told the guy who was the loudest smack talker that you see a Chevy might run great n all but it will eventually leave you stranded, a ford might be a POS but it'll always get you home. And what do you know, No comeback lines from anyone.

Think I messed something up by taking through a lot of dusty trails while towing a canoe.... Have an extreme power loss in the low end of every gear when accelerating and slightly harder shifting
