I have really been thingking about debadging my tailgate and peeling off my Z71 stickers but we have these parking spaces really close to our dorms that are for "fuel efficient" vehicles only. The sign says only 4 cylinder 2L engines or hybrid/flexfuel, so if I take off the flexfuel badge I will probly get a ticket. And it will look ridiculous to leave just that one ugly green rectangle on. The stressful dilemas that I must go through day in and day out. Solutions?

Take off the badges, park in the correct space even if it is further out and walk to your dorm. Yes, the SD winters suck, but you won't have any tickets and you will benifit from the exercise. Most importantly, your truck will thank you. Besides, you will be out of the dorms and in a new place in a couple of years at the most.

Park in that spot anyway, just because you remove the badge doesn't make it a non-flex fuel vehicle all of the sudden. If they give you a ticket, then fight it.

Wow this brings back memories of the horrible life problems I had to deal with when I was in college ! :rolleyes:

 

Leave the badges on and forget it. What are you ashamed of what you drive?

Alot of time and energy to fight over something that is so simple to leave on for like 4 years or less or just park in a different spot . In less the OP is a fat guy and does not like walking and if you are the walking would be good for you .

+1 The ability to fight for what is right makes America what is. Park your truck in the legal spot and if you get a ticket fight it. Its your right and after you get the ticket thrown out, leave the paper work from the court on your window for the next jackass cop who tries to write a bull shit parking ticket.

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
