1982 nissan pickup. Regular cab, 4cyl, 2wd. Rusted out piece of junk, but it only cost me 100 bux. Was just what I needed at the time and usually started too. At 240k, a head gasket started leaking, so I drove it to the scrap yard and got 50 bux for it.

 

Sorry, I need 5 replies to ask my real question about hinge pins so these are going to be in separate replies.

1989 Audi 200 Quattro Wagon. Great running car (truck), all wheel drive, and step on the gas and it went like crazy. Not exactly a truck, but between the roof racks and the seats laying down, we hauled our fair share of stuff in this one.

 

Drove it for a year or so and sold it for 1000 more than I paid for it :)

1988 Ford ranger extended cab. My current plow truck for my apartments. It's a rusty, crusty, barely road worthy piece of junk, but it always starts in the winter and 4Lo works fine.

2000 Ford 4 door extended cab. 4x4, 5.4 liter engine. Ran and drove great. No problems with it. Bought it with 110k and drove it to 145k. Sold it a year later for the price I paid for it. Was a nice running truck. Had a fair amount of wind noise above 70mph.

2001 Ford SuperCrew. 4x4, 4.6 liter engine. Was surprised at what a dog this truck was compared to the 2000 5.4 liter. it just doesn't want to getup and go. mileage when empty is a bit better than the 5.4, but fill it with people and load the bed... mpg dropped to 14 or so. Again, like the 2000 not a bad truck, no mechanical problems... had to change tie-rod ends, but in my book, that's routing maint.

 

Nice having the space of a crew. Until my kids are grown, I hope to have a crew cab in my fleet.

I guess I didn't count right. I could have stopped with the last reply, but I have one more truck.

 

The real reason I'm here making up 5 replies to a post. Just bought last weekend, 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 HD, Crew Cab, 4x4, 6.0 liter motor with 110k miles on it. LT package.

 

Initial impressions: Nice looking and solid feeling truck. Runs and drives great. I like the delayed downshift of the Chevy compared to the ford. Seems to be much more drivable on the highway. By it not downshifting so early, I don't feel like I'm beating it to get it to go up a hill. It needs new shocks and a tie rod end, so I can't compare the ride yet. I like all the compartments and junk holders, but I was unimpressed by the doors that cover some of them. From the drivers seat, when you open an access panel, you can't see inside without slouching or laying down in the seat. Doesn't make much sense to me. I'm not real fond of chevy's leather (I've been spoiled by the Audi's I've owned). No squeaks or rattles inside and not much wind noise while driving home in a 20mph cross wind (nice). The doors shut with a nice solid whump. I'm sure I'll have more opinions about it after I drive it a while.

 

Some of the posts here talking about problems people have with their trucks have me a bit on edge at the moment. But I know... people only go see the Dr when they're sick... These are good trucks... right?

1978 K-20 Camper Special 350 lifted 3" with 33s. This thing was a beast... and rust bucket, towards the end there was 1 bolt in the top hinge holding the door on. This was my first truck... and the last one I could sit on the INSIDE fender and change sparkplugs.

 

1981 C-10 Silverado 6.2L Diesel. This was a donor truck but turned out to be a better daily driver. 1981 was a first for a lot of things so I had to live with a lot of weird things (like a 6.2 backed by the first year 700R4).

 

1985 K-10HD Suburban 6.2L Diesel. Great for towing... and hauling the dogs around (I got it used from a volunteer fire department).

 

1989 C-30 Silverado Dually 6.2L Diesel regular cab 14" bed. Sometimes the desire for a dumping flatbed pickup outweighs your better sense... was really nice, but I never used it.

 

2005 K2500 Suburban Quadrasteer. Only thing that would make this a sweeter ride would be a duramax and allison. Oh well I love it anyway.

1996 S-10 - REG CAB, 4cyl. - Great First Truck, put over 110,000 miles through college, only issue was tranny replaced around 75,000, but probably because I thought it was a diesel...LOL

 

2000 Silverado - EXT CAB, 8cyl., 3 door - Another Great Truck, no issues, just basic maintenance. Good Power, just missing 4wd, and 4th door.

 

2003 Silverado Z71 - EXT CAB, 8cyl., 4th door - Amazing Truck, did everything I wanted, pulled boats, trailers, OK fuel mileage. Only thing missing was Crew Cab...

 

Hopefully a year from now the truck of my dreams will be a Crew Cab 2500HD with Duramax and Allison Tranny.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
