NW WA Meet / BS Thread

I swear them dam red heads are gonna be the death of me at least high quality beer gives u a high quality hang over!

 

I woke up today and boom!!!! Thread had exploded!!!! So awesome to see everyone contributing and coming together to help out a friend in need! PNWTW is all time

 

K I need some info fellas... I couldn't find anything by searching...

Sunday along w breaking my drive line in 2 I also smashed my speed sensor, no prob I have a spare, replaced it... speedo still doesn't work? Wtf?

 

Did something come unplugged from the back of your cluster?

 

I highly doubt it, it happened the same time I broke my drive line

 

Check the fuses in the secondary location, the one inside the cab left of the steering wheel. I was checking some wiring on my trailer harness awhile back, and shorted from one pin to another, and fried a fuse. Speedometer and a few other things all weren't working. Replace the fuse, I think it was a 10A, and everything was good again.

 

Good thought, I hadn't checked any wiring yet, I also replaced a cv and wheel bearing yesterday n ran outta motivation when the sensor wasn't the simple fix

 

I attached the wiring layout from the FSM, that might help you find what harnesses to check. You know where the Wheel Speed sensors are, but the others seems a little more tricky to find/get to.

Sensor V-1: (near the top of the engine) Vehicle Speed Sensor (combination meter)
Sensor S-3: Speed Sensor (Front LH)
Sensor S-4: Speed Sensor (Front RH)

Page 8:
Sensor S-22: Speed Sensor (Rear)

Hope that helps man, but keep us posted.

 

I figured it was somn in the rear, I didn't know about that sensor s-22, that's where I'd put my $$, thx, I'm on it like shit on rice!!

 

I think I just vomited a little in my mouth.

 

Is that Vietnamese shit stew in a rice bowl?

 

Doesn't look all that bad actually. Looks like cat stew and rice

 

Some more from Sunday from my girlfriends phone...

 

Sweet pics! I missed a good meet.... Not sure I could have prevented Dora 's aquatic adventure... At least I could have gotten some sweet aerial footage of it....

 

Thinking about my "incident" from a more scientific point of view, I think I know what attributed to my hydrolocked demise.

I was going through deep water essentially in a "corridor", so rather than displacing the surrounding water with a "wake", it rippled back quickly increasing the depth and volume even more. Whereas, in the actual "Lake" areas, there's enough room to push the water out and away from the truck increasing displacement and making it "safer" to cross...

 

That's a good theory Puddles. Note to self - no driving in canals or moats.

 

Makes sense to me. I almost made a similar mistake at the puddles everyone was playing in.

Now we know

 

How intact is your fender lining after the arb install?
