Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

That was the 1st set of knock sensors that I ordered--then cancelled. It's still on the slooooow boat from China lol. That's why it's still showing that they've been shipped. Says I should get then June 29th--or later lol. Screw that!

Oh good. Cuz you know those are fakes!

If I ever do get them I'll check them out before sending them back! Fo sho!

You’ll never know from looking at them. They make EXACT replicas. I have a set of $20 Ray-Ban sunglasses you would swear are the real thing.

True, they'll just crap out a week later.
More stuff--
Gonna try the sealer on my van. Keeps losing coolant, and it's not dripping and it's not in the oil. It's the 4.8 with the 862 heads. Supposedly the thermostat and heater core will be fine.
Got the cf wrap just to try something. Thought it was a damn roll!

Truth! I once saw a whole series of a few hundred very high resolution images of them making an exact replica of a Ford Explorer. It was pretty nuts. They just reverse engineer everything, and copy piece by piece. Of course no quality standards like if it had been built by Ford.. wait... uh. Nvm, it’s an EXACT replica, down to the expected life of the components!

Damn, I had no idea they'd even make anything to that scale--especially a damn car! When I was a kid, you could tell a knockoff when you saw it and felt it. Hard to tell nowadays.

It’s like a Johnny Cash song:

I got it one piece at a time...
