1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

@Wulf the Dorman fuel pressure regulator has my 7.3 450 at 85-90 psi of fuel pressure... no coal rolling to my surprise, still no throttle response

 

Remember my old house in the cul de sac? That massive storm drain directly next to my driveway was beautiful.

It clogged up in a storm one time and submerged that CRX up to it's steering wheel.

 

Does it take lvl 3 plates?

 

Turbo LS beetle

 

Drill some speed holes then

 

Do you have a good OBD2 live data tool?

Make sure the pedal is reading throttle position correctly, they fail sometimes

 

Private group

 

How does everyone organize their paperwork and maintenance, three ring with all receipts and a log of work done with dates ?

 

I scan and shred if it’s important. Details go into a spreadsheet

 

Just in the back of my mind.

I don't buy vehicles with the intent to sell (anymore) so the maintenance done should only matter to me.

 

Truck already had 200k and 4 owners before I bought it. It gets fresh oil whenever the third digit on the odometer is a 5, give or take.

 

Spreadsheet

 

I only do it for stuff that won't be sticking around with me for long. I don't bother with any of that for the Toyotas. It's pretty much required for the BMWs though if you'd ever want to sell them and I archive all receipts and log when the parts were installed (date and mileage)

 

Debating changing rod bearings on the 5VZ since I'm in there already, can get Taiho bearings (OEM) for super cheap. It's like $25 for a full set

 

You should do it

 

Yeah I'm thinking so too. It feels weird to do rod bearings as preventative maint though.... that said just about every BMW needs the same treatment so maybe it is preventative maint.

 

3 cups of coffee in this morning, belly is rumbling.

Also, none of my bosses are here so that's cool

 

Truck must have been so confused when this day came around...
