New England B.S. Thread

Yeah I just got a 2010 4cyl with 78K...they just did an oil change because it still had the valvoline sticker on the window that said 83K...But I think I might need brakes, they have a bit of the warped wobble at high speed braking...the thing is I downshift like nobody's business and barely use the brakes. I had 120K on my factory brakes on my last car and still had years left on them...
My wife drove the truck once and she is fond of 60mph...neutral....push brakes...and she really noticed it.
When I do the oil I'll peek at the plugs and pull a tire off. I am not sure how to tell how worn the brakes are though...do I measure the thickness of the pads in mm?
I also have to fix the light behind the fan control..temp and vent selector is lit but not the fan speed...
I also bought the 4x4 illuminated switch that I have to solder in...

 

Looks like the cartoon from the peanut ads haha.

 

Seriously...? It's like a sir

 

You don't see it in the pic lol. I sure do

 

plugs dont need to be done on the 2.7 until 100K. Just change the oil and do the 90K service at 90k

I need Lower ball joints and new shocks front and rear. Going to get Billy HD

 

Yes but that's not the intended purpose of that photo....

 

In my 20's that was it, not anymore. Pits then were just shoulders and pushing (not hard). I was usually the enforcer who would pull aside people who were punching and tell them to cut the shit. A second offense would get you tarred by me.

Problem is now I don't get shitass drunk at shows so I'll feel the hits now, not the next day. Plus if I threw down then I wouldn't lose my house and everything else I've worked for.

 

That's a nice looking truck with low miles. Good luck with it buddy. I like my 2nd gen but these models are growing on me.

 

Morning Happy Friday to all. Great morning I got up this am and no snow on the ground

 

For all you guys with a 2nd gen that are still in the dark. Here is a good link to the map light mod (check out the whole thing but as described in post 191 and especially 197 you don't need a diode). I have had this done for years and this is still one of my favorite mods and the best thing about it is its just about free.

Good morning to you Billy.

 

Very simple job. Can be done in about 30 minutes if you hustle, an hour if it's your first time and you take your time. Make sure you have long extensions for your sockets. When I did the driver's side, I used 2 - 6" extensions and a 3" extension on top of them. You don't need that many but it makes it a lot easier.

Morning! What'd you sleep in or something?

You can keep your map lighting, I'll stick to exterior lighting

 

Morning

 

Wish I had your truck last night Mike, or at least your lighting..haha, damn Chevy people and their high beams.

 

I've only high beamed 1 unlucky soul with my lights since I put them on. It was a Ford F-150 with HID fogs and headlights. He didn't have his high beams on but the glare was horrible! I let him have it, all 8 lights. Not one of my finer moments but he deserved it

 

Of course he did, Ford people...I have to ask did you do it step at a time or just all at once?

 

Sometimes being a douche is required.

 

Were it that I had one of my lightsabers in the truck, this guy would have been sitting on it.
