    Good job on getting that engine in your shed with no cherry picker. I used to work with a veritable mountain of a man that pulled a Jeep short block out of his pickup and held it up so his son could attach it to an engine stand. The dude is a monster, shaking his hand was like shaking a...

    Hers was down on the frame held on by a nice stamped, metal bracket. Maybe it is just certain models that have that vent down on the frame or maybe GM decided having it mounted low was an issue so they moved it up as a running change during production?

    Did your purge valve kit come with instructions and hoses to relocate the purge valve to up by the filler neck from down by the frame? The kit I purchased when I changed out the purge valve on my sister's 2008 Silverado did. Purge valve was stuck closed and it would take fuel at a trickle.

    You need to seal them and use a kit with the fine sandpaper, not a kit with just polishing cream. I've done the headlights on about 6 vehicles with the sanding discs and they always come out great and last as long as you add protectant to them. The Meguire's stuff works well but you have to...

    Time to break out the polishing kit.

    That was a great deal on those tires.

    I use a caliper tool like this and it works well. Have had zero issues with it for years now.

    I have a retrofit HID setup in a 2002 Altima. I put them in not long after I bought the car so they went in early 2002. Bulbs have been changed twice but the rest of the setup has been rock solid for 22 years. They are a McColloch system. Are you saying the new HID setups work with either AC or...

    You Tahoe guys get better headlight options than us Yukon guys do. Those headlights look pretty good.

    I hate when people do that and especially when there are cat tracks in the intersection that they don't follow. :mad:

    Not sure I follow you. If you're talking about where I said 'bump a bollard'? This is a bollard. Commonly found in parking lots or anywhere they don't want a vehicle to access.

    You know, just in case you're out on the road and you suddenly need a spare bumper bracket. You never know when you may hit a deer or bump a bollard and suddenly you need a spare bracket to help hold up the bumper. :p

    Those are factory spare brackets, just in case.

    You totally dodged the bullet with that one. He could have taken you and your truck to jail. And, any ticket for over 100mph stays on your driving record for 7 years, not 4 like a regular ticket. Ask me how I know.

    Reuse injectors without changing o-rings?

    I would never reinstall an injector without changing the o-ring. Especially since the o-rings are so cheap. It's a lot of work to get to them and it is a huge hassle to get back in there if something doesn't seal correctly. I've never pulled or swapped an injector, on any vehicle, without...

    With all that work, you'd think the customer would have sprung for a new, decent harmonic balancer and pulley assembly. Sounds like the shop does some decent work at reasonable prices. Hard to find these days. But, maybe I'm just too used to what it costs to do antique car engines. I'm saving up...

    I've had a set of Auxito LED bulbs in another car for about 4 years and they are still doing fine. Only issue I've noticed is that lately, there are times when you can hear one of the fans making noise if the headlights are on and the car isn't running. I guess a fan is stating to go out but it...

    For $10 I would have kept the old if it was still in working order. Also, is it just the color of the pulleys or does the new one have a larger pulley?

    Someone was doing a lousy job with the seam sealer for so many people to be having leaking issues.

    I have a passenger endorsement on my CDL. I have doubles/triples, tank and passenger. Those trucks don't have air brakes. Not sure how they figure the overall weight, though. As was previously mentioned, anything with air brakes is an automatic CDL.

    It varies from state to state. I know guys that own antique cars that have been pulled over and weighed for hauling with a 1 ton dually and a very large enclosed trailer. Some guys have huge trailers since they own multiple cars and they wanted to have a single trailer to haul whatever they...

    This is one reason it always amazed me there is no special license required for operating a Class A motorhome. Just have your regular license and go from driving to your Honda Accord to legally driving a monster motorhome. Makes zero sense. At one time I was a forklift trainer and certifier for...

    I still get my medical every 2 years so I can keep it as an interstate CDL. One bonus to keeping my CDL is I never have to worry about being flagged for being overweight when hauling one of my antique cars in an enclosed trailer. My one car weighs 5,000lbs and then when you add in the enclosed...
