Our temps haven't been that hot, but many in the area still don't have power due to the storm last Friday 6/29. We were lucky and only lost power for about 24 hrs.

We don't have smog inspections here either, but a clamp wouldn't pass the visual inspection. When I tried to remove the remaining bolt, it broke off. There was about 75 to 80% of the bolt had broken, it only took a few pounds of pressure to break it off.

rlrnr53

A couple of weeks ago, my daughter borrowed the crew to visit some friends. When she returned I could hear an exhaust leak. When I got time to check it, I found that one of the bolts on the converter flange had broken. I figured about 20 minutes. WRONG. It took about 5 hours and I don't know how man...

rlrnr53

I've had the same looks, most people don't or won't understand why.

rlrnr53

two years is the recommended service interval that I have seen in more than one manual. It seems to be the Industry standard.

rlrnr53

I like!

Typical coal miner. Most of them think black tape can fix anything!

rlrnr53

After pulling the heads today, I remembered why I like my truck. they were agrivating to say the least. I'll have to pull rhe rest of the engine to drill out the broken bolt that caused all the trouble. At least I only have to replace the valves the way it looks now.

It looks like Reed's mallards decided to pay me a visit. My daughter was going to school yesterday when I get a call that her car(2000 Subaru Outback wagon) quit and won't start. When I get there, it cranks, but sounds strange. After getting it home ($170.00) I find that the timing belt tensoner has...

Hopkins International makes the four wire plug in trailer harness for just about any newer vehicle.

Sounds like our 2003 Pontiac van. In the last 3 yeears it's had the right outside mirror knocked off, the motor started hammering and had to be replaced, the right front fender and air dam were torn off, it was hit in the left sliding door, and laterin the fall my sister backed into it and broke the...

rlrnr53

Looks like you're putting that garage to good use! Is it "duck proof"?

rlrnr53

Sounds like the vacuum hoses are on wrong. try taking them off and turning the connector around. It's easy to get them on wrong if you're not careful.

rlrnr53

I'm going in the morning to pickup a 2000 Outback. It has more headroom than the Legacy wagon. but I still have a little trouble getting my size11s in and out. I'm glad I won't be driving it much. Subaraus seem to hold their value pretty well around here.ost of the ones with less or near 100k are go...

If I let my truck warm up when it is cold, my milege usually drops to between 9 and 13 MPG. Since I've been running longer trips, i"ve been getting between 15 and 17.5 MPG.

rlrnr53

If the deal goes through, it will be one of the square ones. It will be for my daughter, because of my grandson.

rlrnr53

Reed, I may be bringing a Cherokee into the family, I may have questions for you since you have a little experience.

rlrnr53

I'd like to have te tools I've loaned and not been returned.

After replacing the oil cooler, we removed the thermostat filled it with water and Dawn, and started it and let it idle for about 15 minutes. There were a few bubbles but mostly just a grungy mix of oil, water and soap. It took about three treatments to get all the oil out. There were more bubbles t...

rlrnr53

A local radiator shop reccommended using Dawn dishwashing soap when one of our graders ruptured a oil cooler. I didn't think it would work, but the inside of the radiator looked like new.

rlrnr53

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

To me paper catalogs have so much more information, most stores have them, but very few know how to use them.

rlrnr53

Our local Advance usually can't keep help, but Auto Zone has turned out better for me. At Advance there's not mant\y that know what a catalog is, just what's in the computer. I've had them tell me that something would not work because the computer didn't say it would. My answer to them usually is "I...

Try www.mnrelectronics.com or www.hifisoundconnection.com I've seen a few Delco radios on both.

rlrnr53

There were about half dozen of similar trucks sold in So WV. They were mostly bough for farm use because they couldn't be driven on the highway.

rlrnr53

Drilling out the rivets is not a bad job if you have a sharp drill bit and center punch as close to the center of the rivet as you can.

rlrnr53

Roadrunner, I know what you mean in regards to opening caliper bleed screws. I made the mistake of not opening them on a van i had. That miscue cost over 700.00 to repair, messed up the ABS module.

rlrnr53

The Wally is on the way to it's new home in Iowa.

rlrnr53

Brule, when you gave me the avatar, it must have brought my niece's husband good luck. I just found out that he just won the Super Pro Bike trophy at the Automobile Club of Southern California NHRA Finals. This makes his second "WALLY".

rlrnr53

This appears to be a standard relay used on several places on the truck.

rlrnr53

If you do happen to need a new speedometer head. you might check out Dorman, they have rebuilt speedometers for some GM trucks.

rlrnr53

There is a bearing under the turn signal switch. The best I can tell fron the diagram, is it goes in part# 23.

rlrnr53

My 01 gets anywhere from 9 in the winter warming up to about 12-13 around town, 20-21 highway.

rlrnr53

Welcome, thanks for the link.

rlrnr53

Nice looking truck!

rlrnr53

Take care of things at home first and foremost.

rlrnr53

Reed, I had similar paint problems on an 88 Olds Cutlass. I was driving to work one morning in a heavy downpour, and kept noticing something strange onthe hood. Since it was dark when I got to work, I couldn't see that over half the paint was missing from the hood. I was lucky enough to get the whol...

rlrnr53

Reed, good luck to you and Anita! I hope that good news is forthcomming.

Dexcool, Texaco/GM antifreeze, also known as Dexcrap. If you are still using it, drain and flush 2 or 3 times. Loves to eat intake gaskets among other things.

rlrnr53

Reed, one thing I like is the VIN decoder. Input your vin # and get areadout of your options, and it gave me acomplete list of RPO codes at the end on my list. The parts lookup doesn't hurt to have either.

rlrnr53

www.compnine.com has parts diagrams, and VIN decoders. A very useful site.

rlrnr53

In my opinion, our service personel and veterans don't get the thanks they deserve.

rlrnr53

Pt # 15992101, used on 97 to 02 S-series.

rlrnr53

if no one has told you, THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!!!

rlrnr53

I agree with Reed, I like the sound of the stock radio!

rlrnr53

Be sure to store everything properly so you won't have trouble when you get back.

rlrnr53

Reed, it took three of us, a come-a-long and two or three ratchet straps to get both my work tool boxes in the garage. Started consoladiting my tools, and didn't realize I had so many tools, but as the old saying goes, You can never have too many tools!

rlrnr53

If you were on I-77, you passed within a mile of my house. PM me before your next trip maybe we could meet for a few minutes.

rlrnr53

It would take major reworking of the defroster duct as it is very close to the top of the dash.

rlrnr53

I've come to the same conclusion as Brule on the clamps. Over the last couple o years, I've seen less leaks with the OE (Corbin) clamps. A lot of heavy duty trucks have gone to a heat shrink clamp which works well, but can leat a little when the engine is cold.

rlrnr53

I experienced similar problems on a 76 Nova. After droping the flywheel pan, I found all 3 bolts loose and wore almost in half. Replaced bolts wth Loctite, problem solved.

rlrnr53

Reed, family is the most important thing we have. Your wife will be in our thoughts and prayers. I know to some extent what you are feeling, as my mother-in-law passed away from lung cancer a few years ago, and my brother-in-law is under going treatment for cancer now. Do what you have to do for you...

rlrnr53

I now don't have to worry about getting up and going to work! It's been 35 1/2 years coming.

rlrnr53

Reel to reel, you're showing our age!

rlrnr53

The rebuilt calipers had a complete hardware kit with them. The worst problem was the pistons were stuck in the caliper. Now when I take my foot off the pedal, the truck will start rolling on it's own, without giving it any fuel.

rlrnr53

Just finished replacing rear brakes this afternoon. Had trouble getting the calipers off, couldn't get the pistons to move. A long screwdriver and prybar finally got them off. The pins on the left side were free and moved easily, but the right side was stuck. An impact was needed to get the pins to ...

rlrnr53

Try using a small wire tie or corbin clampon the hose, I've had good luck with both.

rlrnr53

I plan on it, but not for a while, they are staying with us until they can get a place of their own.

rlrnr53

As of 8:30 this evening, i have my first grandchild! 5 lbs 2.25 oz of bouncing baby boy

rlrnr53

If you can find qa Mac tool truck, they have an 88 tooth ratchet that is very nice. It's a little pricey, but IMO it's well worth the $$

rlrnr53

I usually have the local Wallyworld do my tire rotation, I try to be in the garage whin I know that they are doing work on my vehicle, they seem to be a little more careful if they know you are watching. Here they use torque sticks and torque the wheels twice with a torque wrench. On that note I'd l...

rlrnr53

One of my biggest problems is where to put my tool box when I retire. I have a large Snap On box and top along with a smaller Homak roll cab and another Snap On top box that I have to get in besides an older Craftsman top and bottom box. Right now, all I can do is to squeeze by everything else in th...

Roadrunner, you can keep the snow! I've had enough for a long time. NWS is predicting temps in the mid to upper 30's here Tuesday night with a rain/snow mix. I'm hoping they are wrong, the s word brings out the stupidy in people around here when driving. I don't want to see any more snow before I re...

rlrnr53

We didn't get any tornados, but a lot of rain and straight line winds of 40 to 65 MPH. HJ, that is a telling picture.

rlrnr53

Reed, I'd be happy to be able to get a vehicle in my garage. I have a couple of honey do's stored there. Either I have the time and no green to finish the projects, or have the money, but no time.

rlrnr53

I had a 78 & a 84 K1500 long bed pickup. The 74 rode a little rough, but not enough to complain about. The 84 had a good ride before I put overloads on it to carry a slide in camper. All things considered, they rode as well if not better than a full size car of the same size when you include handeli...

Fhe old lights were so cloudy that that lights were not very bright. I needed to replace the whole assy. because the originals were not in very good shape, there were parts where the sockets mount that were crackked and brokem. No I just put the original lights back in.

rlrnr53

Just finished putting new headlight assemblies the other day. Didn't realize just how bad the old ones were. A 200% improvement, best $116.00 I've spent in a while.

rlrnr53

Do the rear flares still have the mounting brackets intact?. I may be interested .

rlrnr53

Welcome Sounds like you're well on your way

rlrnr53

I found the answer for my problem by using Google. For your Problem, I'd try getting a wiring diagram from a factory service manual. Then too, you may have problems with the BCM. That's one black box that GM 's designers would have been better leaving out.

We have the Goodyear Dura Trac on our K3500 shop truck at work. They have been on for abot ayear and a half, and so far have shown good wear and excellent traction. We have went places in 2wd that on the older set we had to use 4wd. We keep the truck loaded probably close to or slightly over the rat...

Picked up the new headlight switch this afternoon, after install, everything is back to normal. Reed, you can have your Mallards back for now, and I hope Mr murphy has left to visit someone else. Thanks to those that offered suggestions.
