It has been in my livingroom for 2 years. I got tired of it sitting there not being used

Looks like it's in the perfect place now.

Nice. Thing has been good to me over the past 13 years.

 

Only had to fix the gray boot in the door that leaked water for years (got torn somehow), and I had a piece of foam fall down inside the unit, and trip the out-of-balance switches prematurely, so it would never get through a spin cycle. Came back one day to find the thing still running 5 hours after I started the load. Thing has trouble codes like a modern car, lol, only 100x more simple.

 

Also have the matching dryer - all that I had to do to that so far was grease the rollers for the drum to stop the annoying, rhythmic squawk it used to make, lol. Lint trap sucks - it blows lint balls all over the lawn ...

I have matching dryer and stand. I think mine are 13 years old

Getting mine inspected at the dealer I bought it from six months ago. Want to get the inspection done before the headers, Y-pipe and tune done over the next two weeks.

Exact same as mine - we must've bought them at the same time. I wrote the date on the back with a Sharpie - 7/12/03. Hauled them here in my '72 El Camino.

 

We don't have the stand though - that's something I should have got. Our floors are uneven in the house, so the washer goes walking all over the place after a spin cycle. Been dealing with it forever, so guess I'm used to it now. Thing sounds like a jet taking off when it spins, lol - think it hits 1,300 RPM if I remember right.

Did a half turd wash job on the beast yesterday. Need to redo the passenger side, I let the soap sit too long, windows look like crap. At least it's somewhat cleaner than it was though. Also added some plastic stuff to the headlights so they don't yellow again. Need to remember to do that every month.

Got a little close to a field parking at an auction. So moved to the over side of road.

Nothing. When grandma was alive it was hard for her to step up into her '06 2500 (she was around 4' 10") because the running boards hug the cab so much, so dad took some metal blocks, drilled holes in them, and dropped the running boards down and moved them out so grandma could actually get her feet on the running boards instead of just her toes. I didn't need that when I took over the '06 so dad took them off and put them on his '09. I'm just too lazy to take the blocks out. I think there's a spare set of blocks somewhere, or at least one or two in the garage somewhere. I think the blocks make the back half stick out more so dad could stand on the boards and reach into the tool box. If that's not what you're talking about then I have no clue.

      This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.
