The air filter replacement was easier said than done unfortunately, the screws that held the cover in place were stripped and frozen in place. So I decided that I would have to cut the tops of the screws off to get to the old filter, thank goodness for my Dremel!

Thank goodness for Napa Auto Parts, they had to order the air filter but had it in the store by about 8:30 am, so I was good to go. I replaced the old stripped screws with quarter inch screws with lock nuts, so the next time I replace the air filter, the job will be much easier.
The clean air filter and new spark plugs made the Tin Can purr like a kitten, so it was well worth all of the work for sure.
This afternoon I decided it was time to practice hooking everything up and giving it a test drive. I kept my fingers crossed as I hooked up the lights because I did not know what to expect. Everything worked perfectly thank goodness. I drove around the block and although I knew the Tin Can was back there, there was no problem pulling it.

Although I wish we could have headed up to a campsite tonight, the next few weekends are packed with getting ready for Christmas, so I will just have to wait until New Years. Tracy and I did get some Christmas shopping done today, unfortunately we bought gifts for each other rather than for everyone else on our list, oh well, its always easier to buy for ourselves.
I want to welcome Randy and Pam Warner of The Roadrunner Chronicles as our latest followers. I have enjoyed reading their blog and we are happy to have them on-board with our adventures. That's it for today, I hope your weekend is going great and thanks for the visit!
Looks like you're ready to roll. Waiting is the hard part.
ReplyDeleteGood job getting the Tin Can running like a top :) Bet it's tempting to take off somewhere when it's all hooked up!
ReplyDeleteHey, I thought I was reading OUR blog for a second ... lol.
ReplyDeleteTeresa and I are both 50, married 30 years, and have two children.
Plus, our rig is a Tioga Class C as well.
Just found you, so it will take me a while to get caught up.
We are presently in Gold Canyon.
Take care ... TnT
Small World, thanks for stopping by and for the message!
DeleteLooks like you have the hot setup, get a cheap camera to mount on the back to watch the Tin can bounce around behind you when your are going down the highway. With your length a wireless should do. Be safe out there, and watch out for low leaping kangeroo's they can hurt ya. Sam & Donna...
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are ready to roll, toad all hooked up, and everything running well, just gotta get out there and do it! Soon you will be on the road.
ReplyDeleteNice work of getting the 'Toad' ready for hitching up. Good work with that tune up too!
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to get home and find the toad is still hooked-up! You probably saved yourself a lot of money by doing that filter and spark plug change yourself.
ReplyDeleteNice job on the tune up. Some people think all you need is gas.
ReplyDeleteGood work on the "tin can"...
ReplyDeleteHey, fun! We have twin buggies. Ours isn't named yet. Annie likes to let these things happen organically, she says, and I say if I hadn't named the cats they'd all be named Kitty.
