Thats right, I made it all out of STRIPPER CLIPS! A Cpl chevron, my name and an Eagle Globe and Anchor. I made two more EGA's after this one, had to give one to the 1stSgt and one to the MGySgt. Tell me what you think? As far as anyone knows, the EGA is the 1st one made.

Yup, pretty much a GRIZZLY man now. Cant dip Skoal. Picked some up in the Phillipines once, when the ship had to refuel, and puked while having a dip out on the deck. Never gotten sea sick except when i dipped that Skoal. After that, my brain makes me sick when i see it. Sorry bout your dad.

Uck, Forget that, I go with Timberwolf when I'm low on change. I think it's 1000 times better than Grizzly! I'm not a fan of the new Copenhagen Straight, I like the original (gold lid). Back when I was at Ft. Lennard Wood it was 3.90 a can..here at home its 5.02. None of that flavored crap for me, straight only. Flavored stuff burns my gums right up.

 

I remember my 1sgt back in basic, I swear it looked like he put in 1/2 a can at a time. Only black guy I've ever seen dip besides the co. commander. Guess it's a Ranger thing. I remember wishing I had some.. :mad: good times.

I was a Cope man for a long time. The only time I ever tried Skoal, I bummed a dip from a buddy and went on some amusement park rides. I threw up my boots I was so sick. I finally quit some 13 years ago and I saved up enough to put a good chunk of change on my truck. I'll have it paid off in a couple of months.

      2026 Silv. 1500 WT reg cab: how many speakers do I have? Is amp module separate?

      By bwiese · Posted

      I have a 2026 base 1500 "WT" regular cab. How many speakers do I have If I want to upgrade? Is the audio amp separate from the radio/display unit? [I listen to classical and it gets a bit raspy at slightly higher volumes.  Don't need a sub etc.] Do I have two or 1 speakers in the doors? Thanks Bill  San Jose

      probably won't get a response from that user, as they haven't returned to the site since making that one post.  users don't (at least I don't, and I haven't seen any setting which would notify me via say, email) get any notification other than going to this site, and checking if they got a response on their thread...

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

      Thanks - I wasn't quite caffeinated this morning. 2:1 makes sense, turning the crankshaft 360 degrees will turn the cam 180 degrees, and had I done that, the cam's dot would be at 6 and the crank's at 12 again.   I went ahead and took the sprocket off anyway, aligned everything dot-to-dot including the balance shaft just for s&g. I'm glad I did because I discovered no Loctite on the timing sprocket bolts. Maybe it's not required, but at only 20 ft-lb torque spec, those bolts aren't in there very tight. Cleaned and reassembled with some thread locker and torqued.   A general observation: Less is more with RTV. If a little doesn't stop a leak, a LOT probably won't, either. RTV is thinly veiled revenge, in a tube...

      The timing marks are ok, that is #1, you can turn it over until they line up and it won't change anything, the crankshaft turns twice for every camshaft revolution, I have always set up SB Chevs as your pic shows using a straight edge

      Someone's been here before.... There is a receipt for a 3-piece timing set, purchased earlier this year.   Is this picture something, or, nothing?   I have the timing cover off and my crank is perfectly TDC and the keyed gear's locating mark is dead on 12 o'clock.   The cam gear locating mark is also at 12 o'clock. Now, I'm not an expert, but all the install guides say the two locating marks should meet and be perfectly aligned when installing a timing set. The mark on the crank should be dead on 12:00 and the cam gear's mark should be dead on 6:00, and both marks should be perfectly vertically aligned.   I believe the timing gear is keyed or has a dowel that ensures it can only be installed on the cam in one position, so I have to believe the cam is out of phase somehow. At the very least, with a triangular bolt pattern, it can only be installed in one of 3 different positions.   Before I pulled the front cover, the truck was running alright, no service engine soon lights except an occasional P0172 / rich condition. Timing -16 timing at idle (should be +16), and total -35% fuel trim, two conditions I haven't been able to figure out.   In related news, my injector tested pretty well, wasn't leaking, but I had it rebuilt anyway, and it's on it's way back to me.         Along with this discovery, the good and bad:   Good: The oil pan seal appears undamaged.   Bad: -The timing cover has been reused, and the positioning dowels have been broken. That could explain some of the leaking. -Some kind of white paste or grease was used to try to seal the oil pan seal and timing cover (since wiped off..). -Then, someone globbed silicone all over the front of the cover and also buried the ckp sensor in it. But, they didn't put any inside the cover or use RTV to try to seal the oil pan seal with the timing cover (good).
