Sold!!! HahahaSent while drinkin' a cold one...

Perfect kind of car to buy if it checks out. I'd be meeting him this week if I paid off my house already. The guy did ALL the leg work and all you need to do is basically get it to an in person black bear tune. Then you have the monster from cloverfield!

Dang if I lived closer I would consider checking it out. That car would be awesome. For the past couple years I've wanted an 04-06 GTO, mainly 05-06 cause those had ls2's but hell that 402 stroker with TT's would be helluva lotta fun

Please tell me how a law our governor signed is Obama's fault?

 

I don't like the man but this is strictly an in-state thing and the first rate increase in 15 years. Get informed. A few extra bucks to the state parks is a good thing. http://www.mlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/09/hunting_fishing_fees_set_to_ri.html

First non warranty repair for my Mazda coming soon. Rear doorlock actuators, appearantly a VERY common problem. They don't have a good connection and the anti theft throws a fit randomly.

 

Looks very DIY and they only cost about $150 for both rear doors total. Someone recommended having the dealer use their computer to say which side is going bad from the alarm history filewhich costs like $100 alone in diagnosis fees. The part costs $66 online. So I'll just replace both since its A.) Cheaper and B.) A bad design and some have had both sides fail.

Yeah, I know how fun it is to sleep with a jacked back. I cann't sleep WELL without a unison or flexril. Even then I can toss and turn a lot, never stay comfortable for too long. I remember my doc telling me to never get any gut weight(I have none now so no issue) because a belly will kill an already injured back

That is what is going on with me now. I was on Ambien, but I am getting off most of those meds. I'm 5'11 and 213. I need to lose the gut weight. I now use Unisom to sleep and looking at the graph it was in sleep mode for 6.5 hrs. I was "restless" 7 times. It totaled 23 minutes

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      Tire psi

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      Tire psi

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.
