Lmao

Mongolian Barbecue is the bomb though.

 

theres also these 2 oldies

 

It is lol it's one of my favorite meals lol

 

I’ll give you a hint, only one of the cars on that list may have it. Was a rare option on those cars.

 

Meh, you can spill the beans. I wouldnt take them to resale. Also, those have been on the yard long enough to basically be frames only by now.

 

Yesterday I replaced the air intake tube between the air box and the throttle body on my wife's Accord, she was getting a CEL that would come on and go away once a week or so.

Took the intake tube off and it was nearly split in two pieces, was cracked so bad. Explains the rough as hell idle her car's had for a few months now lol.

What's weird to me is how the CEL didn't stay on with such a big split/crack in the intake tube (after the MAF sensor), you'd think on our trucks if that were to happen we'd have a solid CEL for sure. Maybe Honda's aren't as sensitive I dunno.

Cleaned the MAF too for good measure, her mechanic wanted $200 to do all that last week and only took us maybe 20 minutes to do it in the driveway.

 

The older, the better. Nothing above 2000 would have it. It’s the 80’s DeVille that potentially would have it.

I also stopped calling my group buy “Cadillac Horn System” because I actually get 75% of my horns from Buicks.

And you’d be surprised with American “luxury” cars. No one wants parts from them because no one drives them. They were mostly intact out of all the cars I’ve pulled horns from.

 

Oldest Buicks on that yard are 94 LeSabre's.

 

Heh, that reminds me of how I replaced the shattered sunroof on the Mercedes. The dealership wanted like $600, I went to Pick-n-Pull and bought an OEM glass sunroof for $5 on 50% off day and replaced it myself. Was a whole four bolts and took me a whole five minutes to change.

 

Oh yeah the LeSabres wouldn’t have it. Those are the cheap Buick’s. You only find them on the expensive high end GM sedans. You either have to specifically option the four horn package, or have the highest end trim level. That’s why they’re so rare, only the good cars had them.

 

Gotcha. Unfortunetly most of those cars rusted out/were junked long ago around here. Maybe once a month does that yard near my school get an older Caddy in stock.

 

Yeah that’s why I’m surprised you have so many new Cadillacs post mid-2000.

Most of the cars in the junkyards here are majority old, plenty of 70’s, 80’s and 90’s cars, and I even see some 50’s and 60’s cars and trucks.

All the 50’s and 60’s cars and trucks are all rusted out though.

The sweet spot for Cadillac horns are 1980-1995.

 

These are some of the cool cars I’ve seen at junkyards.

The fact that they are even at Pick-n-Pull means someone still had the title even though most of them clearly have been sitting for decades. Can’t scrap a car with Pick-n-Pull without the title.

I forgot to take a picture of a lot of them. Some of them include two matching 1965 Jaguars, a 70’s Rambler, and an MG.

 

Yes. I love mine. Great for other things too.

 

It is worked good for me for the past 2 years. I got the heavier-duty of the two. Lifted few engines, lifted a couple truck beds, use it to load moving trucks. It has been pretty solid

 

I pulled an engine and transmission out of a buddy’s Ford Ranger nonissue, can’t find the pic. But here’s when I got my transmission home.

 

How much was the intake tube?

 

Tyler thinks he's cool with his angle meter

 

She got a genuine Honda part via Amazon for $40

 

That’s super cheap. I got one for my truck at o’Reillys For $110 life time warranty so that’s a plus.
