I am noticing something weird this winter. When I set my HVAC to floor heat there is heat blowing out of the side window defrost vents (not the center vent). Is this normal? I never noticed it before.

What I never understood is how they slid so smoothly over those curbs when pulling in and snagged so fully when backing out.![]()
When you push on the deflector going forward, the bumper cover deflects back and up. When you go the other way, the cover comes down and locks like Chinese handcuffs. See a lot of them hanging by a few buttons or completely destroyed because of this. Had an ‘02 Impala that I had to back out our drive at an angle or I would tear the deflector off.
Yesterday I decided it was time to trim the inner fenders that were now visible below the bumper. That’s when I found the leaking shock.I finally removed the air dam from thecopcar. I was concerned about tearing it off on a forest road. After my last trip I was very glad of that. I still ended up with chin pinstripes.

A few months ago, I finally removed the air dam from thecopcar. I was concerned about tearing it off on a forest road. After my last trip I was very glad of that. I still ended up with chin pinstripes.

I just used an angle grinder and cut 1” off the bottom of the one on my 02 for exactly that reason. It still looks good, can’t tell it was molested.Installed a 1.5” level kit spacer (actually like .875” thick) under my lower front strut mounts and a 3/8” spacer plate to lift the Autoride position sensor link up, so the Autoride position sensor doesn’t know we messed with anything.
I also got to debug a squeak I created with this mod. All is well now.
Sure hope that cures me of hooking that shaved down air dam on every friggin’ rock on every friggin’ forest road up here. Not to mention the random parking curb at every friggin’ store parking lot.

Yeah. 120 kinda is a massage if amps are low. 240 stored in capacitors will light your world up. 25k store in a fly back capacitor sent my big ass flying 10 ft back. Needless to say all these hits were faulty equipment over the years. Who knew a lead on a meter would get a hairline crack and shock ya. Haha.I’ve only designed with that once. Service for a locomotive factory.
I got bit by 277 once. That was enough.
I hear the current lead time on intros is something like 4 1/2 months too.Torn today. Found a set of 22 snowflakes with new tires for 900.yeah other guy sold before I got there on the U2 wheels. Really like the koko Kapan. Big baller money but not as bad as intros. But honestly thinking I need that blackbear and a drop first. Hmmmmmm should have the tails done this week. So making moves in the right direction. Thinking for cheap fun a muffler swap will come soon also.
we had a kid in junior high school that was pretty nerdy, for science class he had a entire classroom lined in aluminum foil and had about 6 tube-tv's hooked up in there to generate static electricity, crazzy ass dude, only a few us went in there most were to scared, I gained a respect for electricity at that point, you could hold a screwdriver in your hand and shoot boltz across the room fun but scary, probably was virtually no amps but there was so much going on it really made you think what if?????Yeah. 120 kinda is a massage if amps are low. 240 stored in capacitors will light your world up. 25k store in a fly back capacitor sent my big ass flying 10 ft back.

LMAO.I am assuming you don’t have Autoride on that rig.![]()
Hopefully that last one didn't also come with an arc flash.Yeah. 120 kinda is a massage if amps are low. 240 stored in capacitors will light your world up. 25k store in a fly back capacitor sent my big ass flying 10 ft back.

that's awesome!we had a kid in junior high school that was pretty nerdy, for science class he had a entire classroom lined in aluminum foil and had about 6 tube-tv's hooked up in there to generate static electricity, crazzy ass dude, only a few us went in there most were to scared, I gained a respect for electricity at that point, you could hold a screwdriver in your hand and shoot boltz across the room fun but scary, probably was virtually no amps but there was so much going on it really made you think what if?????
