    RockAuto Collector Magnets!

    Is this thread still alive? My collection is still growing. I was always under the impression you only get a magnet if you spend $100 or more. If that’s the case, I really need to rethink my life choices.

    02 Base for my son

    September has been a crazy month. Jack’s graduation was the only good part of the month. Some of you may remember me mentioning the time back in 05 when I was burned really bad, some may not. I was set on fire when a truck I was working on backfired and blew gas and fire on me. I mention this...

    02 Base for my son

    The other vehicle I’m working on is an 03 S-10 ZR2 I bought for my other son Josh. If needs a cat and some TLC, it’s been sitting for a few years and has some rust which is typical for these but it’s not awful. He will probably destroy this one anyway so I’m just getting him driving for now.

    02 Base for my son

    Now for the 02. Week before last on Thursday I was driving home from work at 11:30pm and while I was accelerating from a stop light, under normal throttle, at about 45MPH I heard a loud “bang” and the engine just revved. Like there was no connection between engine and transmission. I thought at...

    I’m back with an Esky this time

    Oh, and did I mention, it’s diesel! 28/36 MPG. When I seen this come up for sale, I had to get it for her. It’s quiet and she really likes it.

    I’m back with an Esky this time

    As far as this Escalade goes, I still have it and might keep it, might sell it, haven’t made up my mind yet. I picked up another vehicle for Jess. The fuel was killing her and I know this thing needs some more TLC as it’s getting older and miles. I found a good deal on an 18 GMC terrain SLE...

    I’m back with an Esky this time

    Couple updates. I should have put Jack’s Air Force update on the 02 Escalade thread but at any rate, I’ll finish it off here. He graduated from Lackland Air Force base on 9/18 & 9/19. First day is the airman’s run and coin ceremony. The second day is the graduation parade and their final swear...

    02 Base for my son

    I was going to put a double din in this 02 and I bought a new dash bezel that was suppose to be for an 03 which would have allowed me to do the double din but when it arrived it was for an 02 so that didn’t work out. So I just decided to try this radio and it worked out. The 02 is like a din and...

    I’m back with an Esky this time

    Going into WOT5 for Jack. Have not talked to him since he left July 30th, but we have communicated thru letters. He got to call when he got there to tell us that he made it. But that was a scripted call that he made to his mother. Video showing their first call. I’m glad he called his mom. He...

    02 Base for my son

    It installs like a normal radio and the screen goes on last. You can adjust screen up down left or right and I had to bring it up left and tilted in on left side so the shifter wouldn’t contact the screen in park. I had no idea the screen was going to be that big but I really like it. A little...

    Put a new stereo in the Esky. This thing cranks for everything else being stock.

    I thought you did it on purpose because I’m not around all the time. My last post says it’s waiting for approval. Why would that be?

    Craig! That made me laugh.

    I’m back with an Esky this time

    I had to fix the clutch at the beginning of the season. It started with the clutch not fully disengaging at the end of last year. Shifting gears was harsh with first to second banging something awful. I thought it was just moisture in the hydraulic system. Changed fluid and even bought an...

    I’m back with an Esky this time

    Jess and I took Julianna to see Hardy last month. 10 years old and her first concert. We had good seats and the concert was great. Mulder is getting big. We’re going thru the process of breeding him. He’s already been going to training 2x week for the last 8 months so he does really good...

    I’m back with an Esky this time

    My son Jack joined the Air Force in April. His ship date was set for July 16th but there was an issue with the job he wanted in cyber security so they pushed it. Didn’t work out so great for me because I booked airfare, hotel and rental car for the first week of September when he would have...

    I’m back with an Esky this time

    I’ve had a lot going on as usual. This Esky is about to get retired. She’s ready for a new vehicle and I’ve been fighting with an O2 sensor. Changed it and still was getting bad signals and found the wiring harness rubbed on the front driveshaft so I repaired that and it was fine for a few...

    Check this out. You use this shifter and you know you’re out in your toy playing around. Give me another long lever for applying the rear brakes to drift and I’d black out the windows and take the plates off.

    Nothing shifts faster than an automatic. You don’t see the top racers running a manual transmission. I wanna put a sequential shifter in my firebird when I upgrade the transmission guts and add a dual disk clutch. A true sequential gear box is about $10k and they’re loud, sounds like a noise...

    02 Base for my son

    Work fired the youngster back in October because he’s a drunk and now we’re down to 3 guys. That put me back on afternoons (3-11) which I absolutely hate because I don’t see my family all week and I can’t get nothing done at home so I’ve just been working 12-14 hr days and did 7 days a week for...

    Nice. It’s a good looking fox body. I like the LX more than the GT. Fun little toy and would run even better with your LS in it. Hint hint.

    02 Base for my son

    Last but not least, my son Jack turned 19 on the 13th of this month and he is shipping off to Lackland Air Force base on July 16th to start his journey as an Airmen in the United States Air Force. He graduates on September 5th from BMT. Jess and I have already bought our airfare, hotel and...

    02 Base for my son

    Also I bought a new tool box for up north because I’m overflowing the small box I have in the sled garage. Paid $900 for a nice US General HF box that’s 56x22 and ordered it in white. Took 2 months to show up and this is how it came. Can you believe this? I finally got it flipped and...
