Well, PUTZ is in the shop. Too many things for me to fix on my own, and it was starting to get a little dangerous to drive.
Need to get the blower motor fixed, I dug into this and the motor works, the connections are all good, the resistor on the fan controls is good, so I don't know WTF is wrong with it.
The front suspension is broken. Not sure what exactly is broken yet, but for the last couple days, when making a left turn, it felt like the truck wanted to tip over - I'm thinking its a bad torsion bar or bad swaybar/mount.
There is also a SERIOUS battery draw issue, if it sits for more than 3~5 days, the battery goes completely dead. My guess is a bad voltage regulator...
And, if they have time, they'll fix the damn gas gauge. Stupid thing hasn't really worked since I bought the truck (almost a year ago). It worked on and off at first, but after doing some off-roading this past spring, its been stuck at the 1/8th tank mark...
Hate to take it in and spend $$$$ on it, being a winter beater and all, but it needs to get done. It'd have to be fixed anyway if I find something to trade it in on.
Now, I just hope it doesn't rain tomorrow so I can drive the Charger, w/o having to wash all the water spots off.
