Drove my buddies 94 Z to get some tires. Man i forgot how loud a straight piped 350 was, that thing will wake the dead!

Got more stuff out of the storage unit yesterday. I'd like to say I'm making progress but the front half was the easy part, all the heavy bulky crap was loaded in the back half... :banghead:

Noticed my OnStar light is red. I can still call them but they said it can't be checked over the phone and to go to the dealer. Third failure-related trip this year to the dealer. Whatever. I'll call to see if they think it's covered by major guard GM warranty and if not I'll just live with it. Not throwing money into this thing.

Installed headlight flasher on my Sonoma. Maybe people will pay more attention when the pager goes off.

Starting the diagnosing of a Service Air Bag light. It was only coming on for the initial start up of the truck everyday. Now it seems it coming on whenever it feels like it. Hopefully can get it scanned while the stupid light is on so they capture the code. I have a feeling it's a sensor up front but want to be sure before spending the money.

I have a scanner that can read SRS codes.

Been a Busy 10 days and haven't had time to get online so here is what I did in the last 10 days to my truck... First I dipped the Bowties red it gives it a little accent color to match the hood decals and z71 sticker. Then I got my new tires put on Cooper AT3s 275 60 20. Then I put in a level kit and rear blocks in my buddies 10 Silverado. Also my simple wash job turned into a full on wax job, but took it out in the field today to work with the dog on water retrieves and brought it back home to wash it again. Also was able to squeeze in an oil change for our trip to Milwaukie this weekend, anyone know of anything good to do there? That is all ... Jeez seems like Ive had a lot of time to get stuff done. 20140730_181937_zpst9m41pbm.jpg

How do you like it? I just bought some blackfire wet diamond, just got here today. Wanted something a little faster for the Mazda since its outside 24/7 now.

 

When will they make a rock chip resistant wax. Cars in the land of trucks take a beating.

 

Probably put a fresh coat of Meguairs ULW (been a few months) and then the blackfire.

Day 1 of diagnose of "Service Air Bag" message with corresponding light:

Took to auto parts store, light not on, crap load of codes but none dealing with Air Bag....nuts!

Got home, disconnected battery, waited, then checked every connection I could think of to deal with air bag, all "looked" good.

I did note there is a metal track running under both seats with a sensor looking thing that glide over it as seat moves back and forth.

Passenger side was brand new looking but a little dusty, cleaned it up, looks good

Driver side, the metal rail is covered in surface rust and gobbed up with dust dirt and who knows what else. Cleaned it all up except rust.

 

Does this metal rail have anything to do with the air bag? Would the rust on the rail cause problems of any sort (air bag or otherwise)?

 

I will continue to try to get it scanned when the idiot light is actually on so I can capture a code, nothing I can do until then I guess.

    • 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
    • I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
