Did front brakes and rotors on the 06 express van we have for work. Did an 09 express cutaway box truck on saturday (just pads).

 

Also yanked the PCM in my truck and gonna be sending it into Diablosport along with their tuner to get my Vin put back on the PCM. Should have listened to everyone and myself and just got a Blackbear tune...

There is a shortage down here, everyone is already out. The boys got over it quick. I went to Wal-Mart afterward and got the 4 strain also. Normaly wait another week but when in Rome... Edited by SnakeEyes

Put about 100 miles on my truck to take my 91 year old mom to visit my Dad's grave. He's been gone 50 years this week. Kind of tough duty but very glad I took her.

Man, the pharmacist said I'd feel like I got punched where the shot was.

 

 

About an hour later, suddenly out of nowhere my arm hurts like I had been punched. Wasn't expecting it to be so literal

Wow, those are sharp looking trucks! First I've seen of the new ones.

Usually a sign that they're not too good at giving shots...if they are you should barely feel anything..

I had one nurse that left me black, blue and REAL sore from a blood sample. That normally never happens. Taking blood should be straightforward and relatively pain free. Not with this butcher ... :lol:

Buddy of mine is ready to throw 11 lbs. of supercharger at his Camaro SS. I can't wait to ride in that!!

 

With the cam, and all the other work he's done, his power output should be similar to this here:

That's a good thing. :thumbs:

 

I was supposed to be in FL by now with a '67 Belvedere. Never left, due to huge volumes of work that were dropped in my lap at the last minute. ATV's, generators, snowblowers, and leaf blowers are needed yesterday, lol. That time of year again!

 

Shooting for next week ... and of course, I see gas prices headed upward again. Can't friggin win ... :banghead:

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
