New England B.S. Thread

Right.

 

I was having this conversation with a few people the other day. Exxon Mobile is the devil, horrible company, right?

This is just from the DJIA, so you can only imagine as you expand that scope, how many boards actually overlap.

Uninsulated wiring is an interesting one, even for cost out.

@Sloth unfortunately no go for ENH this weekend. Wanted to, but I have like 4 things happening Saturday.

 

I mean over-time... It'll be worth more longer

 

Lamesauce.

 

agreed. But it’s wool wax and my ham radio license so at least they’re truck related.

 

That reminds me, I need to set up my NH oil undercoating appointment...

 

Look at this guy reading all this about chevy and gm and STILL wants in on it.

 

@jpereira2 does a good job

I was just curious, I looked at maybe getting a Gen 1 when I was looking at trucks. The V6 was meh, they had a few V8s I thought that were decent, then you had the inline 5 where the first iteration was good but slow, and then they upped the displacement in the next iteration which (I thought was) reliable.

 

I won’t lie and say I didn’t take a hard glance. They make some stuff that’s really appealing to me on a surface level but my soul won’t let me do it.

 

Thanks for the kind words @taco-houla

@Sloth from what I've read on FB they are booked through December

 

Are they still owned by Fiat? Not sure if I could do that. Of course I've owned 3 Dodges(86, 93, 01) and a Fiat(a Duna 60).
Of course, my 6AM roll over and look at the ipad move was to build and price a Ram Rebel. My 08 Taco is getting long in the tooth and may be losing coolant---is losing coolant. Not a ton and I haven't really checked it out yet.

 

I was a mechanic in the mid-later 80’s and the dealership would bring up a truckload of those Caddy’s from Pompano Cadillac in FLA. There’s one wire on the side of the transmission that you cut and it stays as V8 - fuel injected 425 CI caddy motor would rip for its day.

 

Save up and get in addition to, not replacement of. I'm starting to save up to go back, or at least back into the import world, but keeping the Vette around for laughs.

 

Mine was the 4 cylinder. So many people I tell that story to assume it was the 5 cylinder, but both the engines had the same issue. Look up P0017 Colorado head and you'll get many hits..2004 to a good part of the 2006 run

My wife's Rav4 has a backup camera and I don't even bother using it unless I'm trying to park really close to something..but even then I just back in the old school way and fine tune my distance with the camera if that

Absolutely, the motor as a V8 wasn't the issue.

 

Uninsulated wiring sounds dangerous!

BTW, I won't be making it to the ENH run either. Besides having too much to do I spent 2 days polishing and waxing all the scratches I got on @crashnburn80 run!

How much do they charge? Nothing against you Jason @jpereira2 I like how the NH oil treatment is tinted black.

 

I could pull the old receipts from the previous owner. I want to say it was like $160 for the landcruiser.

 

Yea I think the cheapest shop near me is still double what I charge at like 80. I can do black if it's something everybody is interested in but I think I'll end up charging more. Forget what price difference is.

 

There's a mobile shop near me that does it. Mass mobile undercoating. They have spots in November.

 

I can make a pinstripe trail queen look like a street princess, at least for a short while.

 

This wind noise you speak of.... this makes me curious. You see, I too have wind noise. No, not the burrito type. Literally, highway-wind noise... even when I’m not on the highway.

I might be sitting at a red light with oncoming traffic passing by- SWISHHHH SWISHHHHHHH as they pass right in my ear. It’s like the windows cracked down a little, but it’s not.

so you’re saying I can tone this down by adding 1/4” tubing under my existing door gaskets? How did you make it stay in place? The plot thickens.....
