San Diego BS Thread.

I'm good with Fri morning. Sent you a message.

 

When are you headed out there?

 

I'm heading out Thursday night after dinner with the family. So I'm thinking I'll be out there about 1-2am. I'll be staying until Saturday evening.

 

I have my new badge installed and ready to roll!

 

Haha, niiiiice !! You need one that says "DAVETRAC"....

 

Nobody but you guys would know what DAVETRAC is... anyway, I didn't invent the thing! LOL

Happy Thanksgiving Week Everyone!

 

That should be your customized license plate Dave.

Edit: I don't think we can have 8 letters on a plate.

 

I do! what kinda beer we talking?

 

Yeah but no one here (or anyone I know) knows as much about it as you.....

Negotiations have begun...

 

I am just mentally off balance in what I think is fun or important! LOL

I like taking something mysterious and making it usable, like the traction systems we have or traveling To Baja, Mexico! LOL

 

Hey Jason. When you turbo the ls1 you gotta do this video clip for us.

LS1 S10: http://youtu.be/ja7pu6oz0eM

 

Haha, hell yeah. Still collecting parts!! The cylinder heads are gonna gonna cost me!

 

Jason, 2000 v6 auto 4x4, cuts out completely at random times. All lights, engine, everything for 2 seconds. Then kicks back on . Checked the main feed from battery to fuse block under the good. Everything looks fine. No blown fuses. Any ideas?

 

I have had this happen. It was a bad ground strap to the body from the block. I think Toyotas have them on the drivers side floor board area to the frame.

 

Jason, I'm sure it isn't a cheap build.

X2 on the ground wire to the frame.

 

Like the others said, likely a ground wire issue, clean both attachment points, and put some grease on both sides before re-installation. Wire brush everything too. You can also just check the resistance between the chassis and battery ground to help determine that.

If thats not it make sure alt output is within normal range, sometimes even a voltage spike can cause it.

Also check the ground strap from chassis to the Engine block, I have seen some trucks not even have it and have intermittent issues.

 

Thanks all. Trying to iron out a handful of issues. Clicking cv joints, smog, ac compressor. Ugh...

 

Hey hey dudes and dudetts found out today that I got my number one pick for my next duty station. So come June or July I will be transferring to airsta San Diego . Can't wait to be back home most of my family and friends live in the OC. Just thought I would start checking in here and see what kinda bs goes on in here

 

Congrats
