Wow - you get some serious windshield time.

Doesn't count the miles I put on the company vehicles as well. I probably drive around 60k miles a year, half of those being in my truck

I'm thinking about seeing how my boys like the 6th's My wife is convinced I'll be bringing one of those a 2017 SS convertible's home. 15k hit in under a year, they can't have much more to loose for a few years.

The obama legacy ... :sick:

 

 

 

Gotta love the quality of stuff today. I remember when generators had schedule 40 pipe going into a muffler. Run 6k hours without ever losing strength!

 

I've got a Yamaha inverter generator - 6300iSDE - thing has a CAR muffler inside. No joke! :lol:

 

Can't blame him he wasn't in office in 2004 or so when it was probably bought, it's just old and was probably a cheap generator to begin with. I think we bought it around the 2004 hurricanes anyway, that would make the most sense.

The cheapest insurance I can find for a 2017 SS convertible driven under 5k miles a year is $83.33/mo. That's owned outright with an excellent credit rating and no accidents or tickets in recent history, (and you barely get a discount for it stored securely inside and rarely driven to work).

 

 

Really? That's more than my Honda Accord with no use restrictions and only a few K price difference (much better resale value). You think modern system would be smart enough to say, hmmm, this guy owned a street legal drag car and never had an accident or ticket, he probably won't run a camaro up a light pole http://www.thedrive.com/watch-this/11123/watch-this-chevy-camaro-drive-straight-up-a-telephone-pole ). But no, they still rely on ancient demographics

That is a friggin BARGAIN for insurance! I pay $600 a year for basic on the 10 year old Silverado. When new, it was $900.

Until your drivetrain lets go at 110 MPH and your truck flips or goes head over heals when the drive shaft snaps.

Ahh, gotcha.

 

When I was in my late teens, basic on a '85 Monte Carlo that I bought for $600 was $2,200 a year!! I had alot of tickets, plus I was under 25 years old - double whammy ... :noway:

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Why don't I have a good scanner? I've always wanted one when I've needed one.   My latest reading says I don't need to do a relearn on the ckp sensor on a 1995 with OBD 1.5. The relearn is prescribed for the later-model 1995's which shipped with actual OBD II when GM completed the transition in prep for the 1996 MY. I need to confirm that. Did you know forums are disappearing? Knuckleheads on Facebook... it's not the same. It's just not.   So, scanners. Again, shooting myself in the foot for having eBayed my Snap On MT2500 "brick" with all the adapters. Not that I couldn't buy another but those are getting quite old, and mine wasn't new enough to work on 2000's vehicles.   Damn it (as I'm scanning my email between paragraphs here). Did you know there's a 2000 Jimmy 2-door on BaT that's ending this morning? It's local. I want it. 14k miles. Absolutely beautiful.   Back to scanners. MT2500's are old. Solus, now that could be a contender. There's a ~2008 Verus with a system error that's basically new in box for cheap. Hmm...I'm not sure about a scanner that runs an archaic version of windows (95 or CE, I can't tell).   I want the ability to reset and rotate TPMS, test individual modules, bleed ABS, electronic parking brake controls for servicing brakes, relearn procedures and other bidirectional controls.   Snap On does an MT2600. It's a new model as of last year, marketed as their "entry" scanner. Entry? Only where $1900 gets you through the doorway plus, I'm guessing, $1000/year if you wish to keep it current. So goes scan tools actually designed for production environments. Want decent products with excellent support, you pay for it.   Everyone is raving about Autels and TopDons and Foxconns and all these newer brands that are selling the $500 "prosumer" scanners for backyard hacks like me. They're tempting...honestly. Updates are cheaper, base prices are remarkably cheaper... And you get to deal with bugs and translation whoopsies and, well, just don't use it on anything expensive, OK? Having a dealer replace an ECU because it needs to be re-imaged after an adventure in scanning is no joke. But I think most people are getting by OK with these units.   eBay on a scratch-and-sniff pro-model oldie, a shiny new TopDon, or???   God dang it, I can't stop looking at this Jimmy. I'm ready! I'll Bring The TRailer! It's beautiful.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By Texasdeere · Posted

      I removed the OE running boards.  It looked so much better.  I wish I took them off a long time ago.     I had to put something back on for my wife.  I wanted Westin Sure Grip Running Boards but they are very pricey, like $600 plus.  I was going to go with the Ionic 41's like I had on the 2019 Silverado but went with Westin Outlaw Drop Steps instead, about $200 cheaper.  They are sturdy and functional but not super crazy about the look, but it works.

      Disable DRL's

      By fondupot · Posted

      I had a Gen5DIY DRL relocate harness from a 2022 1500 that I saved. I had Gen5DIY modify the harness for my 2024 Silverado 2500. Plug n Play, worked perfectly.    Here's a video I made for the 2022 1500 truck. The install is more or less the same on a 2500.    The harness relocates the DRL tot he top amber turn signal on my 2500.

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.
