NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Oh yeah, I got some more ink last night.





I was joking with my tattoo guy/buddy and said, "yep, I think I'm gonna try and get one every month." He looked at me and kinda hesitated then said "uhhhh, you're kidding right?" I was like "kinda, maybe every other month". Lol

 

Nice, the night ain't over yet I guess. Just had this happen. Turned out of the gas station and heard a "POP!" Followed by what sounded like bolts hitting the pavement. So I just undid the diff side boot and pulled that fucking shaft out.

 

Get a fuel pressure gage. Easiest way to figure out

 

Thank god there wasn’t any grease in it or it would have made a mess

 

Question/experience I had this weekend:
Slammed down on my slider from probably a 2-3 foot drop. Banged so hard, it made every light on the dash go off and didnt let me use my rear locker/turned my rear locker off, kept me in 2nd gear instead of 1st gear like I selected, abs light was flashing, wouldn't let me switch to 4hi/2wd, and collision light/dealership light was going off as well. Found no loose connections anywhere, nor did anything get snagged. Turned off the truck for a couple minutes while inspecting everything, and was fine after.
First time this has happened to me, and I have had faith in all the electronics so far since I've put it through worse, and everything has always worked perfect. Makes me nervous now lol

 

Checked all the power and grounds?

 

I have nothing to add, but I had a buddy have the exact same thing happen in his 3rd gen. Took a hard hit on his skid plate, same issues, restarted truck and everything was fine.

 

I think I checked over every single connection on the truck, both stock and connections I've touched. Nothing loose/dirty/water soaked. I was praying it was just a stick or rock yanking an abs wire out, but nada. Guess we will see if it happens again!

 

I wonder if it hit hard enough to shift the T case partially and got the actuator out of sync. I know that when I reclocked my e locker actuator it’s micro adjustments with the worm gear once the splines are lined up. With the ECU’s on these trucks I would think it didn’t know where it was past that stops.

They don’t sell it in store

 

I forgot how profitable doing side work could be, especially considering shop rates now

 

Gotcha, yeah coulda been that!

Also, anyone going to King of the Hammers/need any parts shuttled up and down i5?

 

I've been wanting a early father's day gift and that would be go to the king of the hammers. Keep hinting to the wife.

 

HBD to @Toywoodsguy82

 

thank you sir! Let’s see what 40 has in store for me

 

lots of body aches and joint pain

 

I had those for years already.

 

I'm way southwest of you . How long is gonna take you to get there ?

 

Wired my winch into my cab because the controller for these smittybilt winches are hot garbage.

 

Snazzy. I have thought of doing this as well. You will have to keep us updated on how it works out for you.
