I felt great when i changed the fluid in the allison..It honestly looked like the new fluid in the bottle, The 1st owner obviously took good care of it.

The trans case fluid did not look like new!

Drove to the airport. Flying back to NH for turkey day. I was a little sad that the TSA guy didn't seem impressed when he inspected my rifle before I checked it.

Drove to town on the dusty dirt road and filled up. Checked the oil, I'm 1000 miles from my next oil change and it still looks like new. Good enough for me.

Went to Lowe's to try to find some parts for a BBQ grill I acquired. No luck but enjoyed looking at all the stuff I want & can't afford right this moment.

My spare tire winch has just been hanging down for the last few months since it quit working. Just took it off, and it doesn't look like you can get it part to fix it. So I bought some chain and a padlock, now the spare is in the bed for keeps.

My rental while I'm back in NH is a Nissan Rogue. I hate it. I hate that Nissan ruined some otherwise decent cars of theirs with those awful CVT type transmissions.

Spent the day home and washed the truck and detailed it on the outside, and decieded to wash and use some tire dressing on the wheel wells frt and rear and they turned out really nice. Makes the truck look brand new like I just drove it off the lot.

Drove up north last night

 

Some jerkoff in a small BMW decided to fly up behind me then hit his brights. Funny thing he was so close it didn't bother me and it flashed right off the tailgate back at him haha. Finally was able to get over after he flashed me a second time well I got behind him and hit my brights (oh ya my fogs were on too) lit his car up like an Xmas tree.

 

Please when the speed limit is 70 and traffic is going almost 80 don't flash your lights at people usually it will backfire on you especially if your in a small car

    • Yes.   Yes.   We might be intermingling ideas with the term 'severity', in one of my past vehicles it could pull up DTC via the vehicles own user interface, at any given time when one would do this there would be an assortment of codes that were 'trivial' including 'communication' issues. This would generate a bunch of, potentially false alerts or some many that they would get ignored. Which you mentioned earlier.    You also mention several things that might be redundant with the vehicles own systems or indicators: The truck has an oil pressure gauge, monitoring it via this other system wouldn't be a priority except in comparison to other values or if there is an actual oil pressure problem.   Same thing for miss-fires or other problems, the MIL already signals the operator to an issue...   ...to the point about what one wants to see first, if there is a miss fire detected, I want to see miss fire counts or fuel trims first, if I have an oil pressure problem I want to see the oil pressure first. So, perhaps the 'systems' that are showing abnormalities are what gets displayed first.   I think your device is what connects at the OBD port, ease of use for the consumer, it could still have a 'pass-through' port for a second scanner, computer, etc.   Yes.   Based on my comment above, if an error appears, the report would be more specific to the system having an error.
    • Saturday 87 was 2.98 at the local meijer when I filled up my car with 93.
    • I like the idea.  I thought about putting a deposit a few years ago when they first dropped.  I still want to drive one and have inquired about doing this with them, like a ride and drive event they said they are coming but it hasnt happened even with them built in Indiana.  
    • That's a tough spot to be in, I personally would question spending 1/2 the book value on a repair vs. selling it as-is.    Presuming you own it out right, sell it for 10k and have a down payment for a replacement truck, or spend 10k on the one you already have...   I still think there is a cheaper transmission out there via recyclers, aftermarket or rebuild. (Cheaper than 5k for the unit)
    • Sadly, there's a drought of good 92-95 4.3 cars at junkyards in the area otherwise I would have gone fishing for parts. Not that they don't come up, there's just nothing good in the yards right now.   I tore into the intake yesterday evening, easier than I thought, and I might have this problem licked for cheap. Two of the intake studs came up with the bolt on removal, no big deal but that's why it looks funny with studs only on one side.   There's pooled gas on both sides of the plenum. Highlights boxed in green. Picture-right side has an obviously split pressure line from rubbing on the #5 injector nylon line. #5's line is worn in that spot but not all the way through. Passenger side intake (picture left), not sure, but I think the pressure regulator is hosed. Rebuilt spiders don't come with the pressure and return hoses so I'll need to replace those no matter what. A pressure regulator is $30 so I'll try that and if I end up having to swap the whole spider, it was $30. I'll be grinning ear to ear if that's all I need.   Parts arrive Tuesday.   Sure enough the shop was here before. That's a new gasket. Vacuum lines and wiring are a tangled mess, I sorted that out last night as well. Spent about an hour just picking up general slack and shoddy reassembly around the engine bay. Cheek-pokered the battery tray, got it all cleaned up. Sometimes things just need a little elbow grease and a few minutes of time to be right again.
