I was pretty happy with qualifying.  Three of my top 5 drivers are in the top 5.  Jr., Newman, & Rusty.  Too bad Waltrip and Park couldn't have gotten in there too.   :cool:

And Team Chevy Kicks some major tail at Martinsville 5 out of the top 10! ony 2 Fords in the Top 10. Man I guess the chevy guys are really scared of the ford advantage that they so proudly proclaim in their commercials, but manage to forget when it comes time to cry for some rules changes. :cool:

It was a so-so day.

 

The First 100 laps were Kind of a sleeper. :cool: Nobody was really Tradin'  Paint out there for that first part.

 

 

My man  Martin isn't doing as good as I would like to see. Hopefully He will turn it around and be a contender soon.

 

But hey, atleast my 2nd favorite got up there in the Top 5. That 38 team is improving every week and it shows. :thumb:

Oh yea!!!! :thumb:

 

I'm happy!!!!! :cool:

I bet.  :D

 

It was a good race today.  I wish Craven wouldn't have had his tire problem and slowed Jr. down.  I would have like to seen if he could have stayed up front.  :flag:

Well I missed the race but was glad to see that my favorite driver Bobby Labonte got a 2nd place finish...not as good as a win, but better then the last couple of weeks.  :thumb:  :thumb:

Considering how he was running at the beginning, close to gettting lapped, I'd say that was a great finish.  Good call for the team to go with 2 tires on that last pit stop.  :thumb:

I was hoping those last 2 cautions wouldn't have happened, we were on our way to seeing 4 cars duke it out for the win.  :cheers:

Yeah, kindof anti-climactic.  I was wanting to see Jr. and Gordon duke it out!

Same here...I was getting ready for an "interesting" finish...but then the cautions came...  

 

Great race though...  :thumb:  :D  :cheers:

 

Go 24 & 48!

pretty good race, marty isn't as boring as it used to be since they ground the turns, it was good to see a outside groove, I'm happy that harvick was able to get 16th with burnt feet.

My cable was out until right before the last caution that the leaders pitted on that resaulted in the restart with Craven's bad tire.  The Craven incident really bummed me, I thought Jr. had a chance.  But my question is about Gordon.  I need to see the replay to be sure, but I swear I thought his right rear was out of the pit box during the stop under that caution.  Like I said I need to see the replay, but that's how it looked to me at the time.  Am I the onlyone who thought that?  I thought for sure he was going to br penalized for it, but it was never even mentioned, which is why I say I really need to see the replay first.

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

      Doing the right thing, replacing both valves is the way to go. The valves with the ball leak far more often than the schrader. Never cared for them. The accumulator really should be replaced if the system has had no pressure in it and it was a keeper, but since you're looking to sell it, bet you can get by. Did you pull the orifice screen and see what was there?   Shame you can't get 134a. Hopefully the previous repairs included dye.   Some of the R4s I messed with developed leaks where the line sets connected or the front seal. Had one where the HPCO was leaking. Front seal would only leak under pressure. See any obvious oily spots?   I've got nitrogen I use to test pressure and to help dry the system prior to evacuation.   Keep up the good work

      Next time you're on a road trip to a state where you can still buy it stock up on 12oz cans, you might look into getting certified so you can buy it where you are as well. When they switched from R12 to R134a the test for certification was easy, they basically just wanted the $25

      Getting greedy...   The AC pump has been replaced at least once per service records, and it's been recharged twice since 2018 or so, in approximately 2 year intervals between those charges.   It was done at the same shop...clearly they were enjoying the revenue of recharging the system periodically versus actually tracking down and fixing the leak. I learned that the owner was 88 years old when she passed in 2023, so maybe they assumed only a temporary fix was needed anyway.   The system is basically empty now, the compressor spins freely, so I'm guessing it "just needs a recharge".   I vacuumed it down, and it has basically held overnight. Doesn't appear to leak under vacuum, check! So it must leak under pressure. I don't have a way to pressurize the system and pressurizing it with shop air wouldn't be great for the air dryer (which is probably toast anyway?)   The dryer (accumulator? I'm not an AC expert) has a Schrader valve, but the high side has an old ball-type valve, which are notorious for leaking. It's clearly had schmutz blown out of it at one point because the line/area next to the valve is coated old black crud, which I assume is AC refrigerant residue/oil, or maybe even dirty dye. I think I'll roll the dice and replace the valves. I have a black light around here somewhere so I'll find it and shine it around the engine bay in the dark to see if there's any dye.   I can't think of another way to track down the leak other than injecting some dye (if it doesn't have any) and having it charged up. We can't buy R134a off the shelf here anymore, so I'll run it up to Jiffy Lube and have them do it. I think I have a coupon. At the very least, the charge should last long enough for a year or two, according to history. I think this truck will be long gone by then. But cold AC is a selling point.

      6.2L L87 Powertrain Engine Noise (Lifter Failure) Question

      By clowe1243 · Posted

      Got the truck back today.  Called them yesterday to get an update, and miraculously my truck is finished?!?! The $13k out the door was complete bullshit!  Ended up being over $14k.  They added some bullshit service bulletin that I cant even find, where they replaced my radiator without telling me or asking me, and charging me for it.  Need to do more research into it, cause they leaked the first delivered radiator was ran over by FedEX.  Sounds like bullshit to me. 2.5 Months for an engine swap, which ended up being remanufactured, not new; ****ing ridiculous.  Brakes are squishy as hell, not sure if its from sitting.  Will give a couple days to see it that figures it self out.  GAVE IT BACK TO ME WITH 1 GALLON OF GAS!  Just filled the tank the day before drop off, more bullshit.  My dash cam SD card was formatted, not really much I can do about that. 3 year, 100k GM warranty at least.  Time to sell it and say **** off to GM.  Bad experience.  Cant wait for the survey email to come through.  Overpriced Raptor R, here I come!

      If I forget the phone in the truck, and forget the truck in the phone, and reconnect.  It works great for the day.  Truck sits overnight, and the next day is a no go.  It will connect Android Auto via usb cable, but not bluetooth.   Ive tried Everything in this thread so far, and nothing works for more than a day.   I think I might have to go to the dealer and have them flash the pcm.   thanks for all the suggestions guys. 👍
