I can't wait.  I'm mesmerized by the "rock light" (speedbump light?), step bar, skinny tire combo.

Thanks we were volunteering and doing the communications for the Big Bend Ultra run. It’s some fun wheeling with a good excuse.

37?

C'mon man you need that for 37?

37 is like a heatwave here in Minnesota. It was -37 in International Falls the other day. Without the windchill

Yep!  I'm in Louisiana so 37 is COLD!

 

Come to think of it, I don't think it's ever dropped below zero here.  Only place hotter/muggier than we are is south Florida!  It's mid-60s here right now up from mid-30s just a day ago.

You should have a cooled steering wheel. Won't be long there is a patent on one.  And for sure cooled seats. They are nice.

The coldest ever in Louisiana was -16 in Minden. N.W. part of the state in 1899 according to Google

 Just got the trim bezel paint matched for my All-Terrain grill. Now if it would just get above freezing so I can install. Currently 8 degrees right now.CCD86515-D7AE-4BCB-BB9D-8F9F47E9402F.thumb.jpeg.523fd4a58680901340d160f8dd267896.jpeg

Using up some more carbon vinyl... Goes well with the b-pillars and mirror caps also wrapped.

 

Without the lettering cut out.

All done. Those letters took a significant amount of time to cut out...

Had some free time this weekend so I decided to change my wheel color to bronze. It's just temporary, but wanted to see what bronze would look like my truck.

Over $700.00 for the wive’s 16 Tahoe and just a hair under $700.00 for my truck. We have a mass transit tax in western Washington for a light rail system that will not be finished in my lifetime.

You got a break after only three weeks of rain, lucky man. Honestly, winter in Washington so far has been pretty good, think you are getting our rain.

    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.    
    • I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on. 
    • The average lifespan of automobiles on the road is increasing - here's why
    • Typically it is the Torque Converter, I have a 2.7L Trail Boss and between 25-65 MPH at 1300-1500 rpms under light throttle it has a shudder which I almost consider and bobble or a gargle sound. They replaced my TC but it did not help any, others say it has fixed their issues. It has been back twice now with no fix after.
