Ok guys, I need some advice and I didn't know where else to turn. My girlfriend has been acting really weird lately. The phone has been ringing at our house and when I answer it they hang up. This goes on late at night several time a week. My girl has been going out 2-3 times a week after work and when I ask her where she was, she just answers " out with the girls ". When I ask her what girls, she just says " girls from work, you wouldn't know them ". I waited up the last couple nights to see who dropped her off but whoever it was dropped her off around the corner and she walked to the house. I caught her in the garage last weekend on her cell phone and she acted strange and hung up right away. Later when I picked up her phone to see who called, she went nuts and told me to never touch her cell phone and to quit snooping. So.... last night I was going to hide outside to see who dropped her off so I figured I'd lay down under my GMC 3500 where I could be hidden and see around the corner. While laying there waiting, I noticed the bolts to my skid plates were beginning to rust and did not look so good. What should I do?? I don't want to hit something and have the bolts shear off and possibly damage my drivetrain. Should I switch to a stainless steel bolt or just polish up the stock ones? Please help as this is driving me crazy and I am losing sleep at night!! I don't want to bother my dealer just yet. HELP!!!!

You could replace them or coat the old ones with some grease or such and put them back on to keep them from rusting up so you can't get them off again. As for the lady, I think it's about time for some answers or there's the door

You have got to take serious and immediate action. This is obviously a situation that could easily go from bad to worse. I'd hire a private eye to find out exactly what goes on when you're not there. You absolutely have to find out just exactly what is making those bolts rust!

I'd say communication is the key.......talk to a trusted friend, someone you know will give you an honest answer. Without seeing the bolts ourselves, it's a tough call on whether or not to replace them? Maybe take some pics? Then send the girl some flowers to work.....WO your name....from a secret admirer(sp)....when she comes home ask her who their from???? You;ll know from her answer :thumbs:

You're too old, and your bolts are getting rusty. That's why she's cheating.

 

Put some Viagra (or naval jelly, it's cheaper and doesn't require a prescription) on your bolt (do not remove it, as they don't go back on very well without a trained professional), and see how she likes you now.

 

That, or just convince her that you let them get rusty for the texture, and that you feel it adds to the experience by adding friction/feeling.

 

Just make sure that she's up to date on her tetanus shots. :thumbs:

      I like the idea.  I would pick diesel if I had a choice. I need pictures though.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By newdude · Posted

      I've installed cheap eBay new aftermarket digitizers before.  They work.  Did a bunch of Cadillac CUE (aka Cadillac's MyLink) for someone years ago.  They all worked fine after the repair.    That number 22740886, that is a component part # for GM.  You can use it to search, but its not something that's obtainable at the dealer level.     So pretty much any of these will work - 2015 Colorado Digitizer for sale | eBay

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...
