Took the truck to the trusted repair facility and had the oil changed. Stopped by NAPA and picked up a new fuel filter.

I did the Plasi Dip Black Bow Tie. used some drawer liner to make it look like carbon fiber.
DIY wireless charging Chevy Truck $13
This is a great upgrade that you can do to your truck in just a few minutes. I have had allot of people ask me to repose this for others so here it is.
i hope this helps others or at last inspire people to do this project.
There is a part 2 for connecting power to the back of the console
This is the one that i used in this video http://amzn.to/2rp8yn1

Cleaned the white one, and got the blue one home. The 91 has an exhaust leak I've gotta get fixed.

I still think the 800s were the last good trucks GM built, as far as reliability goes. :thumbs:

 

I got 222k miles out of my OEM universal joints on my '94 K1500. Sold it at 266k miles, still running like a top.]

 

Was on it's second engine, but I don't know what the previous owner did to cause that - OE engine croaked at 181k. Could've ran it out of oil or coolant - who knows.

 

If I make it 100k on my '07's engine, I'll be doing damn good. :shakehead:

 

 

 

Had to kick the Marquis out to get this tractor finished. That's the Silverado in the background, where she's been for the past month. :)

Reflowed a few solder joints, & replaced (and removed) a couple warning bulbs, and the 2 dead backlighting bulbs in the Volvo's instrument cluster. This is the way clusters SHOULD be built!! SIMPLE!

Then I had to drop $315 on a new computer board for my wheel balancer. Friggin electronics for ya. At least I got 6.5 years out of it ... I guess. :sick:

Have been contemplating something for the past few weeks and think I'm gonna go through with it. Probably be another few months but will be well worth it. Stay tuned!

Yesterday, I perfected a mod on a *NEW* Bully Hitch Cover Tail/Brake Light, that I had done on my original one, that I had since 2006 (or so). This mod will only work on the CR-007A model light!!! I took the tail light part of out and made it so that both the tail and the brake elements in the light bulb would shine when the brakes are applied, NO MORE TAIL LIGHT.

 

Inside the hitch cover, I cut the brown wire even with the opening on the back, where it slides into the receiver, and at the plug. Took blue splice, slid yellow wire in the assembly into the pass-through (open side) part of the splice, slid the brown wire up into the splice (“hinge side”), made sure that the yellow and brown wires were even from the splice to the light bulb housing, crimped the splice, and closed it. I have attached the link to my gallery, let me know if you can't access it.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
