How many guys we got on here?

 

I was just thinking how neat it would be to have a t-shirt with that logo on it. I was talkin' to a buddy of mine that has a pretty successful t-shirt gig, but he was sayin' he wouldn't be able to use the bow-tie logo because of copy rights and what not.

 

Anyone got any ideas?

man i JUST turned 100,000 in my 1991, but thats because it sat for a long time before it became mine

 

how about a shirt that says just '200,000' on the shirt, and on the back, it says 'CHEVY 200,000 MILE CLUB'

 

I love shirts that are, say, black, with white text, that are reallly simple like that , no pictures needed

Yea, I feel you on the simplicity. I was just looking to use the logo. Maybe I'll shoot Chevy an email. I bet tehy could probably make a killing off them.

The problem with the word 'Chevy' is that I've seen 3 GMC's (2 are my dad's, one is mine) reach 200k, and one GMC reach 300k...I've never seen a bowtie that has gotten that far..... :cheers:

If chevy was smart they should tell people, take a picture of your gauge cluster with 200,000+ miles. Send it into chevy and they will GIVE you a Tshirt with that cool "200000 Mile Club" emblem on it.

 

I mean, thats advertisement that would kick butt. I bet the competition would love seeing people walking around with 200,000 mile club shirts on. I would wear one with honour. And i think many chev fans would do also... it would be a real nice way to advertise your trucks!

 

Hey if you bought the truck from Chevrolet, and drove it 200,000 miles chevy should salute you with a tshirt!

 

Edit:

 

oh i didnt notice they give you a bumper sticker for 200,000 miles, i guess thats alright, i think a tshirt would be cooler.

 

1,000,000 miles you get a plaque..... thats a lot of miles!

Yes a shirt would be cool... but everyday when Im in front of an F150 I like to know that the sticker is there.

 

I have been around, doing good. Haven't been able to visit here as much since I got in the last half of college... 8 months left...

Yea I have to hang on to my 94 for a while longer (although I never have intentions of getting rid of it ever) only because my friend in high school had an f-150 that went to 235,000 before its demise.

Yea man, most definitely. I'd really like to put mine back the way it was when it was new. Cept...maybe a 7.4L crate motor or something. 1994 is one of my favorite years because you get the new front end and the somewhat vintage lookin' dash. My frame is a little kinked so I'd probably have to have it straightened out, or maybe even find a donor frame.

 

I've gotta buddy with an 88' 4 Runner with about 240k. I'm chasing him too. I gotta say man, those old 4 Runners are pretty slick with the removable canopy.

 

I always feel kinda funny wanting to restore a 1994, but the way I see it is that the guys who owned the 1970s had no idea they were gonna be classics. Why not the 94. Plus it was the only year for the unique dash with new front clip. I do hate all the plastic on the grille though. I envisioned someone fabricating me a chrome grille. I think that would be slicker than cat puke.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
