It needs some work but I believe I can make a good truck out of it

 

 

Haha! If I can make a good truck out of mine I have complete confidence you will yours. :thumbs:

My IAC valve came in today and I just replaced it. It's a quick 5 minute job including finding the correct star shaped allen key, and making sure you don't drop the bottom screw into an abyss. If you have a magnetic tipped screw driver use it for this job...

Awkward space for the bottom screw.

Tada! The morning start up will be the moment of truth and I'm expecting a much better idle. I've been told this is the solution.

Start up this morning in the lower 40's was marginally better than before, I'm kind of bummed about it. And even if I do get improved fuel mileage I spent $70/80 on the part alone so I won't recoup the cost. And I'm not sure if it was wishful thinking but she did feel smoother overall once she got over the initial hiccups. Edited by white1500

Lucky. Wish we were in the 80's

 

Looks like an A/C system overhaul in the near future [emoji106]

Trade you in a heartbeat...I love the cold and hate the heat. Can't wait to move back to Alaska after I retire in 18 months.

Got the truck to 115 mph today. I have the top speed governer turned off with the inTune. So I just wanted to get it over 99 mph. The truck had more in it, but on a narrow country road with deep ditches and a strong crosss wind, I didn't.

Finally got my truck [emoji120][emoji119][emoji126]!

 

Might be getting an ar 15 today. Anyone got any expertise on them ? This is my first foray into assault rifle stuff

After yesterdays sketchy cold start today was the first perfect start in years!! No hesitation at all and I didn't need to modulate the throttle. Maybe its because of how I'm used to warming her up but maybe a few hundred rpm's more would be better, instead of today's 1,000.

 

What rpm's do those of you with a <2002 gmt800 see on a completely cold start??

it varies but it's usually around 1000 rpm give or take and then it settles down once she's warm

    • It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.       
    • Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
    • If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.
    • My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.    
    • I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
