Oregon and Washington BS thread

are connections soldered?

 

Thanks for the reply fellas!

I've been hunting for the past 4 days and then I'm back to work the next couple days, 12 hour shifts, so no real time to mess with it quite yet. I just swapped them out and put my OEM ones back on for now. I'm not sure if they're soldered or not as I bought a whole set from the company. All i did was take off my old headlights, plug stuff into place, and made it work but I'm sure they did some sort of soldering Is your thought maybe there is a bad solder somewhere? The company said they'll send me a new ballast Thursday when he gets back into town so if the problem persist after the new ballast I'll have to swap the bulb out and see where that leads to.

 

Thanks, that was my first thought and the coolant is fine. Everything seems ok it just gurgles.

 

My first gen does this from time to time, start it up cold with the radiator cap off and let it run long enough to warm up(until the thermostat opens) and let it run a few more minutes. it will purge excess air out of the cooling loop.

 

Fantastic, figured I couldn't be the only one having this issue. I'll give that a try and report back. Thanks

 

I'll have to give it a try too as my 2005 does that. Bought a new radiator cap too.

 

If you're in Portland, we could show you around a few breweries, while we still have some that are not closing!

 

Yea I have been reading that some of the brewery’s are closing. When I comeback in a few months, I will be more then happy to visit some.

 

First I heard of breweries closing—had a heart palpitation. Wasn’t all that shocked when I found a list of the shuttered breweries, tho. Nobody will miss those places. We have much, much better choices now. Wouldn’t be surprised if McMenamins joined the list, either.

 

AB InBev just bought the rest of Craft Brew Alliance that they didn't own. Not likely to impact some of the local micros, other than it might mean an infusion of cash for marketing and emphasis on brands like Widmer, Omission and Square Mile Cider.

 

Kona Brewing Company is now part of iBev.

 

Also got my Oregon drivers license this morning. Only got a question about a church bus wrong.

 

Hey everybody, it's been awhile since I've been on here. Just thought I'd drop in and say hi.

For those I've seen before, no I'm not back into a Tacoma yet. I'm now into a 96 ram 2500 with the 12 valve cummins. My 2006 ram 1500 is still in the driveway, but I think it needs a new water pump.

 

howdy!

 

Why? McMenamin's has a strong niche (okay basic six, occasional variation if the onsite brewer is decent, good hangout otherwise).

I mean, are they a froofroo gastropub? Nah. Do peeps still want to go to their properties (which all happen to be historic pubs/breweries closed for reasons)? Def.

 

Mcmenamins ain’t going nowhere. They just opened a new place in tacoma.

the CBA thing sucks but at the same time I have gotten more into local breweries anyways.

 

That seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks for the help,

 

You’d be surprise to know some of the owners of local breweries. 10 Barrel is owned by AB Inbev for example. Consolidation is huge in the industry.

 

10 barrel is maintaining quality after buyout fwiw. Plus it's not like they weren't distributing before.
