We are out of here for a time.

@Tweety Bird has some shoulder issues we need to deal with. She has a few medical appointments to handle down in the Treasure Valley Idaho. Don't fret, we have packed up the RV today and are nearly ready to start a travel trip down south. This is like a practice run because eventually we want to travel cross-country to see some of the members of this website. I know I have a spot with @Doubletrouble. I know I need to rattle some other members in the future. We are going to do as much as we can

Black & White

@Tweety Bird asked me what color today. She paused a bit, then said do something with a color you have not used in a while. Black and white hasn't been used in a long while. She asked me to do something to reverse the colors on the wig. Well, I came up with a wild idea using liquid makeup. It's a wild idea and just doing the crazy thoughts.

Front Driveshaft U-joint replacement

I had a vibration starting on the truck that was noticeable by about 70 MPH. I have already crawled under once before to attempt greasing the joints and check for play, but the u-joints seemed good. This is why I always suggest a full removal of the shaft so it's not loaded by hanging / gear tension. Now it's been some time since I've really been a mechanic, due to my cancer (strength), but I need to keep up with my repairs on Beast. @Tweety Bird came out to document while I was working. Stran

Back to work for Beast!

As far as my wife and I are concerned, Beast is going to be retired to strictly trailer hauling. I'm in the process of getting the RV ready, and the same with Beast. @Tweety Bird has medical to deal with down in Boise, Idaho. To save on motel stays or just driving back and forth. We are hauling the RV down and going to start in an RV park, but eventually move to a random spot where we are not in an RV park. As for Beast, I need to look into a vibration in the driveline, which I'm pretty sure is

Titanium as a Technical Advisor

I'm finding that people don't really care what I look like as long as the knowledge keeps rolling. I've got friends requesting me to sit and watch them work and help where I can. First job was a friend in Caldwell, Idaho that had driver side brake pad start scraping metal-to-metal contact. Luck he was smart, drove home, and parked the truck. The truck is a 1999 Dodge 1500 V8 5.2L 2WD. Driver side I showed him the basics of how to remove, which is simple: get the truck jacked up and remove the wh

Nearly 10 years of service! Passenger side failed - Morimoto D2S HIDs

During my trip to Lewiston, Idaho, the passenger side headlight failed. I assume the bulb was blown. I attempted to get a replacement bulb in town. Not possible. We stayed to daylight travel to get home. I returned home and ordered a set of 55w ballast and 55w D2H bulbs as a set. As I was disconnecting wires, the passenger side power plug from the MotoControl had burned one of the power pins. I had to contact RetroShop to order the new MotoControl. I've just needed a good weather day to get th

Time to head back.

Today we are checking out of our RV space and heading back home with our cache of goodies we picked while in town. This has been a wonderful experience and teaching both of us what we need to travel on the road to see some of you. For a bench test I think we can get started traveling state to stay soon. As for makeup artistry wife and I enjoyed all the great comments as we been in town. Been nice for both us to escape the mess at home and take a break away from problems, phones, projects, etc.

On the road.

Wife and I took the RV and headed to Lewiston Idaho for shopping and a bit of down time. Ive had my first problem on my trip my passenger headlight finally blew the bulb. Come to find out Lewiston doesnt even have and D2H bulbs for HID headlights. Im going to order new ballast and bulbs for Beast from Amazon. https://a.co/d/0hjxRZNE Upgrading from 35w ballast to 55w ballast and changing from 5000k to 6000k bulbs. Finding a bulb with the right connector is tough.

Lewiston Idaho

After many little mistakes like me forgetting my ostomy supplies. Trip home. Then back to camp. The last blog was easy 48 miles. We left Whitebird Idaho and got into Lewiston Idaho. Climbing grades like Whitebird Grade 7%. Oil temperature barely touched 180°F even though EGTs 1,100 to 1,350°F as my set limit but touched 1,400°F once. Enging coolant stay 205 to 215°F most of the climb. As we can down grade the oil temp cooled of back to 172°F. Beast is doing good but tripped a P0341 but the light

Frustrated...

People tend to forget what has happened to me. Let me update you on a frustration I had to deal with. First of all, dealing with medical insurance companies is a PITA. I lost my insurance for a short time, which now locked up all my medical treatment, testing, etc til lthis was sorted out. This includes my ostomy bags, too, which I was running out. Calling insurance handlers (subcontracted) to get information straightened out so I could get supplies. This last Sunday, my night bag fell apart rig

Beast is falling apart!

Beast is falling apart completely. The plastics are failing left and right. I've got to pull the dash apart to fix a speaker problem. @Tweety Bird telling me just order the plastics and get them coming. I placed an order through LMC truck for the new plastics for the dash, and then found a smaller part supplier that has the rear quad door cables for a pair at $30. Cheap! Yesterday I was out and had enough dry weather to install the rear speakers and then move the rear camera to the rear bumper

Titanium Not Going To Forced

This post is going to get political. There is a small group of Goth/Emo/Alt people claiming that if you want to be part of the group, you have to vote democratic. As for me, I started my Goth/Emo/Alt journey into makeup artistry with my bladder cancer. Then I started to catch flak for posting my Goth/Emo/Alt photos on coments ot artist I liked. One person told me if I don't vote democratic then I'm just a poser. Me. I had to create another photo shoot for new photos to handle the punk kids who a

Thor - Back in the system

With how the wintertime is going for us up here. I pulled Thor back online to see if I can get more done. @Tweety Bird and I ran Thor to Lewiston, Idaho, for our shopping trip for chow and supplies. Thor is actually running quite well when fully warmed up. Even with a weak set of rings yet, Thor fires up every cold morning with white smoke and offbeat idle till those rings warm up some. Thor has been a comfortable truck to run, but there is add ons I'm looking at doing. First, I'm going to look

Goth/Emo/Alt rules...

I've now seen it all. There is a younger group of people in the Goth community saying you have to be of "democratic aligned" to be Goth/Emo/Alt. I will be the first to say "No!!!" I will NOT support democrat values, being that I'm number one, I'm an American Citizen, and watching my tax dollars go for Ukraine, Minnesota fraud, USAID fraud, the list goes on and on. How about Social Security? Yeah, I'm now disabled, but why are there so many illegal aliens on Social Security in Minnesota? Never co

Trying to keep Thor and Beast running!

Beast has developed a problem with the hydrobooster being the main booster piston; the seal failed, and even brake pedal usage was leaking hydraulic fluid from the hydrobooster. There is a bleed hole on the bottom of the unit. This was just replaced, as the article was created in the 2nd Gen brake and axle category. That particular day, I was wearing my black hair and basic black makeup. Then on Thor, it was a matter of replacing the battery terminals. Using the really basic tools I do have a

Thor is getting battery terminals, and more info!

Today I'm going to get myself together and get out and do the battery terminals on Thor. Yeah, it's a cold start here this morning. It's going to be a warmer day heading into the mid 50's at least. I want to get the new battery terminal and copper lugs installed today. I figured I would check over the website. @yohon and his rebuild, and helping out where I can. Every day can be a battle for me. I love what I can do, but my body tells me all about it when I try too hard. This is the depressing p

The gentleman who made the video of me. I'll just call him by his handle Genetix. He confronted me on the streets of Ontario, OR, as my wife was shopping for jewelry supplies in a small shop.

Tidbits about me Suzanna/Tweety Bird, Mrs. Mopar1973man, Mrs. Titanium

I became interested in automotive work when I watched my dad work on our family vehicles, then when I had my 1st car...1988 Mitsubishi Precis. I wanted to do some basic maintenance work myself on my car. I had the basic model without most of the electrical features, so it was easier for that car, which lasted until 1998 after finding out my clutch was slipping. Before it went out, I decided to donate the car because it was not worthwhile financially to repair it versus the car's worth. Since the

January Ending

It's really hard to try and keep going here. Sadly with the lost of my shop and building it place a huge strain on trying to even keep Beast in good repair. My original design was just before my cancer I was going to shut down the shop and work on Thor during the winter. Thor now sits in my yard and nothing happening. I've got new terminals for the batteries now just waiting for a good day to do the work. Articles are based on this but im not going to do something to risk my health. This is why
