My G/F wants one of them little bastard Taco Bell dogs for Christmas, ever since her sister took her to the pet store...

 

How much are they? Expensive? I'm not talking a show quality dog or anything, just an average chihuahua, maybe from the pound or from small time pet stores.

Find a new G/F ???? :rolleyes::driving::throwup: Pound would be a good place, I think at the pet stores they are expensive. Also check the news papers might be able to find one cheap that way.

Just tell her "Hell no... now get me another beer"

 

You'll find out if she is really your G/F

 

You may not have to buy a dog.

 

It's PROBABLY best not to listen to me...

:rolleyes: I think it's one of her sisters secret attempts to sabotage my life. (I dated her sister back in high school, it's weird I know). She knows I don't like the idea of having a rodent running around the house. I really wouldn't mind one if it didn't smell like dogs do and was quiet like most dogs aren't.

 

I was thinking about hitting up the pound. There's a really nice one not too far from were she works, her parents picked up a dog from there not to long ago. I was planning on buying myself horse power tuners, but this little rat might set back my 'fun fund'.

Sounds like you are buyin' the dawg.

 

No pets in my house here. Wife is a clean freak and I like it.

Just a word of advice, chihuahuas are cute but they come with their own problems. They can be very expensive, and they are more prone to many physical problems. Definitely try a rescue organization/humane society, the pound before a breeder or pet store.

Same here (minus the wife). I'm a bit of a neat freak. I don't want an animal in the house...And I also don't think that leaving a dog in the yard all the time is very nice to the dog. So even though I love dogs, I don't think I'll be getting one any time soon.

Oh they're wonderful with their little bulging eyes and the shaking and wheezing, my kid has one at his mom's house. He saved his alowance for over a year and bought it himself. 200 bucks. He loves the dog and tha dog loves him, so I guess they're good dogs.I would never have something that small around my house.

If a chihuahua had the body to match their attitude, they'd be unstoppable!

200 bucks really ain't that bad. I would've thought it would be a good sum more.

I say... Get her a Miniature Pincer. Like a tiny Doberman. Very good looking dog... Think of it as the "Antonio Banderas" version of a Chihuahua.

:lol: I really don't want one either, I'm a clean freak about everything. The whole idea is still up in the air, hopefully that's were it stays until she forgets about it.

      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...

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By glenn27 · Posted

      // Thank you, also for your  response. More information is always good. This 2013 GMC is most likely my 'forever truck"-I'm 77 and retired...and truck only has 42K on it-very clean-so I try to keep it that way.  Tks again for your  response- glenn

      Alternate wiring for Kicker sub with Bose system. (DO THIS)

      By smooth68 · Posted

      I started my install this weekend. Everything was pretty straight forward but I ran into one issue with running power through the firewall. The nipple grommet on my High Country already has a small harness running through it - has anyone else ran into this issue? And on the engine bay side, does the wire basically just penetrate the factory wiring boot? I did this on my '22 Trail Boss and it seems much easier but thats been a few years. My other thought would be possibly drilling a new hole adding a rubber grommet just to the lower left of the factory hole. Thoughts?   Has anyone used a T-harness off the Bose amp and obtained power from there? It seems a little odd that such a small amp needs 3 power leads

      By glenn27 · Posted

      ///// Ok--Thanks for that info--I could not find yesterday when I looked for the specs on that NAPA filter what I wanted. Their website is not very user friendly. I buy all teh filters for  our three vehicles once or twice a year. Have always run NAPA Gold on everything I own....I buy it thru my Son's account for his business-which he has a Heavy Equipment repair shop-one reason he uses NAPA so much-they have such a full line of coverage for just about anything/anywhere- He gets s  good discount because of volume bought. Anyway-Thank you -Sir for your response.   glenn
