    i figured i would make my own stuff work and raided the extras stuff. some marker lights all was fine till a couple days later and i came out in the dark and noticed that the lights were on very dim, so i disconnected them for now. got some 3k led fogs.

    so got some more things done. changed the valve cover on the astra, mostly as the pcv is in the cover much like our trucks and this thing has been using oil and leaving the occasional cloud. pretty easy job. didnt look too bad inside, a little buildup, but nothing i am going to get to...

    Considering a 5.3 to 8.1L CI Vortec 8100 L18 swap for a 2007 Yukon XL 1500 SLT

    i have to agree with this as a whole. I wouldn't go straight to calling the 8.1 garbage, but my driveway is a little bias. the rest is spot on however. the 6.2 or even a 6.0 would be a much much much easier swap. but then your still dealing with the trans, i would think you would be better...

    3800 Using Coolant

    Unfortunately not out of the block, pulling the lower hose is about as good as your gonna get. The radiator should have a drain on the bottom of it.

    i am also of a mind that the only reason we are a red/blue two party system is because people are to afraid and stuck on themselves to vote outside the box. i want them to not be a piece of $hit, not dedicated to a color or party.

    nope so far just boat launches (the docks at them when possible), and public access to lakes and rivers so far. although we have a buddy with a boat and some magnets and we have talked about doing some with them . most of the good stuff so far has come from a spot where an old bridge...

    My latest Adventure, update 7/11/21

    Is a small building, I would say 20x15. I think the previous owners used it for keeping some animals or feed or such. The front is only about 6' tall more of a shed than real "building". The other with the fence around is/was a dog kennel with 5 completely separate runs with inside and...

    the excavator will be used to take down several small trees and the couple dilapidated buildings on the property in order to prep it as we intend to section a part off and put a house of some type on for mother in law. the equipment belongs to a buddy that wants to know how i do with it and is...

    i also found the matching center in reasonable enough condition at a price i was willing to pay, so after work i jumped on the highway and went for a drive to pick it up. the car was not happy i let it get this low. also found it amusing that this is one of the worst tanks i got, being...

    if it drives normal accept overdrive, i would be curious to try something.. when driving with the trans in overdrive what does the rpm do when you let off the throttle? drop to idle or does the engine slow it down a little. repeat the same thing with it a gear down. the engine should try to...

    HID to Halogen conversion

    i would think you could get an hid kit for a couple hundred that would work with the can-bus. may try the retrofit source for some research.
