They should give you the clay for free now, since they messed your yard up. It's only right.

$205 a load they ain't given it for free lol.

Damn that sucks. And while you’re trying to fix it too....!!

I really don't mind that's my back pasture that only gets used as my dog's bathroom and a place for bunnies to roam. I've tried to grow grass but without a sprinkler system and a lot of fertilizer or disking in some compost, there's no hope.

i couldve chained my yukon up to it and done those burnouts you were looking for

Nobody likes sandy nuts

**Edit** I was thinking donuts in the sand not standing burnouts, I guess I'm the one thats burnt out

i was mostly just thinking it would tear up your lawn more

I will sacrifice 150sqft of yard and provide a deuce and a half truck if you want to get make a cool video .

Would be cooler with 4 sand paddles the 420s don't rooster very well.

Its nice to have all mandatory projects done and be able to leisurely look over general maintenance stuff.

Truck still burns some oil somewhere around a half a quart ever 1k miles best I can tell. That mystery bottom end doesn't fill me with the most confidence but once I get the 370 back for my silverado I probably won't daily daily the Tahoe much.

Checked the catch can and inline filter and it appears a considerable amount of oil is bypassing the catch can. The online filter was soaked and the line leading to the intake manifold was wet as well. Cleaned everything and added 0000 steel wool to try and catch more oil in the can.

Pulled plugs and remembered I put whatever used plugs I had laying around in after the valve dropped because the machine shop kept my new TR6 iridium's. Half the motor has tr6 copper and the other iridium. Might have to order a matching set one of these days.

Also noticed 2 bolts that hold the coil pack to the ICT bracket came loose and disappeared. So I replaced them and used loctite on everything.

Well damn... now I want to put a filter on mine and see what’s getting through!

It's actually kinda upsetting because the catch can clearly doesn't do as much as I hoped. I kinda want to buy a second one and run it in line with this one and see if two in a row cures it. Or I might try my ridiculously overpriced Mighty mouse for a few weeks and see how it does.

No shit. Why aren’t you using the MM? For a different motor?

Yeah why is it sitting around unused?

Same reason I have a Magnusson sitting on my shelf staring at me begging to blow something. It's just waiting on my motor to come back for my Silverado.
