Colorado B.S. Thread

Brian, @thefatkid and anyone else with helpful information:

what would be a good choice for a replacement Distributor to the oem on a 3VZE (1993 T4R w 140K miles)??? Presuming only remanufactured/aftermarket parts are available ?

Have a source? Thinking the parts yard probably not the best source. Thanks to all with assistance.

 

Passing through Denver for the night, looking for brewery and food recommendations.

 

Junk yards, I just threw one away at the beginning of the year............... Distributor, WTF is that for? 3.4 swap time

 

Which direction to/from?

 

70 coming from the east. Airbnb is in Thornton

 

Whew. I did

 

Rino, which isn’t too far off 70 has:
Ratio brewing
Epic brewing
Black Shirt Brewing
Our mutual friend brewing
Bunch of other crap

Tennyson area (west of 25 just south 70) has:
Hops n Pie (go there once a week for the last 4 years)
Call to arms brewery
De Steeg brewery
Atomic cowboy - pizza
Bunch more crap

Olde town Arvada (west of 25 north of 70) has:
Denver beer co (2nd location)
Killing beer hall
Yak and yeti
Home grown tap and dough
New image brewery
Bunch more crap

 

Um excuse me 12 Volt Tavern in Olde town has 2 pints of PBR for $2 after 11pm I'm disappointed in you

 

I’m old, I’m only awake after 11 to take shits......


Also 12volt just re did a bunch of their bar, now has garage doors on the front. So it looks a lot less like a dive bar

 

and more like a... drive in bar?





slow day at the office.. there's a golf tourney so maybe I'll just leave early today

Thanks. Thought the junk yard route would end in the same result - old and warn out. It is a friend in MT who has the T4R - a 1993 with 140K. Engine, timing belt, water pump,... and heads are fine - but as noted the antiquated distributor has given up the ship. Figured a remanufactured would be better but not sure where to point him.

 

I'd trust a used one before a "re-manufactured" one. What on the distributor wore out? Those are typically lifetime in my experience.

 

Anybody have insight or has done custom gas strut applications? Looking to get some help on installing some gas struts on the new camper.

In case you guys want a laugh

 

I set up my trailer to lift the tent with gas struts.

 

ins adjuster is here to look at hail damage, tried to cancel but he didn't pick up his cell or check his VMs

 

good question. I will have him take a pic. seems like he said it was a magnetic/plastic part??? Will get back to you once I have all the facts. thanks. BTW - Gears working great. Love the way the truck runs! Thanks again for helping me out. Hope you are having a relaxing summer and got some free time in.

 

Finished up my trip through the medicine bows. Crossed from WY into CO on a dirt road. Covered about 70 miles on dirt that day

 

You only scratched out his phone # on the first image. Care to fix that?
