Scumbags live amongst us. Rage inducing. Maybe I’ll get a pushbar

also look at that fender gap in the background...

Got my valve cover spacers from summit racing.
first thing i noticed was that they sure seemed big.

then the bolts they came with seemed a little short.
then I noticed the perimeter bolt holes.

Sticker on the bag from ict billet showed LS valve cover spacers.
So i double checked the pn, sure enough the pn is right for an ls...
but the valve cover spacers in the bag were totally wrong.

Me = fk!!!
I want to change this all out this weekend.
So i call customer service for summit racing.

Got some girl that was obviously working from home, I sorta felt like she just woke up.


Me: Delighted that she knew the difference between perimeter and center bolt, i proceeded to let her continue to catch up.
She ended up going to the site to confirm if that was correct for the spacers at ict billets website.
I had to hold her hand a little to guide her to where i'm going...

Anyways, she made a new order for me, and moved the money over to the new order so i can return when i'm ready.
Put a note on it to "confirm they are for an LS before shipping"

I told her i have a strong feeling that they got an entire shipment that might be wrong, or swapped with some bbc spacers.
so they would need to have someone that knows what they should actually look like vs just going off of the number on the bag.

I also asked to substitute any other thickness if they are all wrong.

Can't wait to see if she got it right, let alone understood the finer details.

My last attempt to get their customer service to actually "think" left me with a "fk it, i give up" attitude

Yeah i have been the victim of stuff way worse than that.
Look back for my story about the kid that told me "he had a gun" after his mother slammed her door into the side of the hoe, then shrugged her shoulders at it.
Me sitting in the hoe waiting since i had a "feeling", tried to get out to look at the side of my truck.
blocked by a little tough **** wanabe child.

I also got keyed in a parking lot, i still remember the pos car that parked next to me.
Probably a "fu gas guzzler pos" comment as he did it.

Oh and i got my new OEM "updated" valve cover from the ebay seller yesterday!
Sure enough, OEM.
has little GM digital code thing stamped on the side, and the cover gaskets are bonded to the cover like the OEM's should be.

Got it cleaned up and painted red last night.

Should take a day or so to cure.
My hope is to install it this Saturday with the longer pushrods and spacers.

Yea that’s way worse obviously, but I know everything I need to know about someone who doesn’t put their cart away. I was in the store for 5 mins btw. No wind

I remember that story. I remember thinking at the time, that I would have escalated, kid or not. I don't take verbal threats about firearms lightly. But I wasn't there. Probably good that this hasn't happened to me (yet). Then again, I live in SC, where CC is legal, and OC becomes legal in three days. In some states, the law would be against me.

Sometimes my passenger side window works, sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes I have a CEL, sometimes I don’t. Sometimes one of my back doors doesn’t lock, sometimes it does...

My old s10, i got nerf bars just to prevent people from denting my doors.
it worked pretty good.
full grill guard on the front on that thing, I love that thing.

If i can get used to the look on my hoe, i want another grill guard.

With my S10, i have fender flares that make the sides of the guard flush with the sides.
I think the hoe may need Z71 flares to make it look right.

Yeah i CC.
My gut told me he was lying, i opted to not make my day more complex with an empty threat.
but i kept a close eye on his hands.

I recently had the switch apart for maintenance. Now I am wondering if it is biting me in the ass.

I can respect that. Like I said, I wasn't there.

I just can't comprehend the mentality of people who go through life bothering/hurting others and act as though they have a right to.

Lol. I never carried a gun until I hit 50. I didn't trust the anger management skills of my younger self to practice restraint when someone pissed me off. Now that I'm older, no longer an issue. Apparently the brain's frontal lobe continues to develop, or I'm way down on testosterone. Either way, I'm now able to trust myself in all situations.

Also for the valve cover I bought, this is the seller.

GM OEM-Engine Valve Cover 12642655 | eBay

Part Number: 12642655. FOR SEATBELTS -MUST BE VERIFIED BY VIN LEFT=DRIVER SIDE, RIGHT=PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. THESE ARE GENERIC ILLUSTRATIONS OF WHERE PART MAY BE ON VEHICLE, NOT ACUTUAL PART.

www.ebay.com

Came in a nice brown box with the GM tagging and a nice "official" seal on the end, like i would expect.

Finish on the valve cover was a little different than the one from the cheaper seller.
Also there are the expected numbers protruding from the inside of the valve cover, like the OEM.
Made in Mexico casted in there too.

The cheaper cover looks good via the pictures, but if it's an accurate picture then it's a different casting than the one I bought.


For reference,
The cheaper "OEM" that i didn't take a chance on: https://www.ebay.com/itm/193794292910

I think I would've made him eat it--literally.

Sometimes I think I have too much testosterone. I'm gonna be 52 in a few months and I think my tolerance level for j'offs is way less then what it was when I was younger--which is very bad--for me. Good thing I don't carry--anymore.

Aggressive little fker.

a couple years back there was a big @$$ recluse in my barn one night. After it jumped away twice each time I tried to step on it, I decided to pour gas and give er’ a light. Then hundreds of burning baby spiders came crawling off her. Heebiez and Jeebiez!

Same thing happened to me when I stepped on a big spider outside of our garage last fall. a thousand little b*st*rds running everywhere, including into the garage. I still have nightmares. And I check every single thing I touch in there before I move it, and I always wear gloves.

Side note: One thing I loved about living in Alaska: nothing poisonous lives there. A bear I can see coming, and I dealt with both black and brown bears doing field work all over the place up there. A pistol-grip shotgun stored within easy reach on my pack, loaded with 00 buck,slug,00,slug,00 got me out of every jam (3 jams, total). The 00 buck was always the first shot out of the barrel and the long barrel gave me a fighting chance to hit him with the slug if I ever needed to, but the 00 buck did the trick every time. I used to laugh at guys that would show up for field duty from the lower 48 with a .357. It'd do more damage to a bear if they fed it to him.

I HATE SPIDERS!! I can't even imagine living in Australia. They have spiders that catch and eat birds.

Def sounds like your switch is going out. You can tell for sure if the windows and locks still work at the specific door that is not working from the drivers seat. If they still go up/down and lock/un-lock from their location but not the drivers seat then it’s more than likely the switch. If neither work it could be the motor, fuse or a ground issue.
I battled with this one for a while.
