Yeah that thing is a turd! If only it was the same color as Toyotas Turdra Turd Brown color! haha

 

 

Feeling a little harsh Brian? It wouldn't take much to make it a pretty darn good looking truck actually.

Its got 130k on it and the only rust is on the pass. side cab corner. Surprisingly its solid everywhere else. Its got a few dents here and there and typical scratches for an older rig. It wouldnt take much to make it shine up again. A cab corner, some feness on the dents, and paint for the hood, pass. fender & cab corner. Oh and a new tailgate. Its way beyond repair cosmeticly. Opens and closes fine though. Interior is in great shape, only needs a radio update. I took the center caps off to polish them and to paint the wheels. Then it got cold and snowed :crackup: It feels good to have a truck again no matter what it is.

My sig pic, it doesn't look bad at full rez, but when I reduce it, it sucks. Any thoughts? I don't have Photoshop, just the software that came with the camera... :crackup:

 

 

Go download and run this. It works well and it's free to boot. I've sent it to a bunch of my friends and they love it.

It's a good little FREE utility. I use it at work for my digital photos before I email them to people on antique equipment...

 

Shiner Bock here tonight Fred.

Jeez, you two are like a couple 'ol ladies in the dress factory :) , anyhow; Jim, have the VSO, thank you. I still want to tweak the pic, but have first effort up.

 

Lild, kinda got sidetracked, and I hate to admit it... :) , but it is better than anything else I've tried, check it out.

 

Hi!, Fred

Isn't VSO also a Canadian whiskey?

Had a Dewar's instead... :(

Eh, sonny? :D

 

I think VSO is brandy, not sure. Looks like you tried out the resizer alright. And Steve, it would be OK if you blew up your sig pic to 5K-10K. :)

 

Champagne of Bottled Beers this afternoon, putting in a new starter in the '95. I just couldn't quite get 350K miles out of the original.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
