    The oring is 6 bucks and in stock at my autozone so I’ll prolly pick it up. I was planning on taking it all the way off so I can clean the backside without moving the butterfly. I think it’s best to disconnect the battery as well so the ecu resets. I’ll report back once I’m done.

    I noticed that I get about 10mpg during mostly around town driving. I know its a 5000lb V8 truck so its not gonna be a prius, but it seems a little low. its also just a bit rough at idle at cold start up so because god only knows how long (if ever) its been since my throttle body was cleaned, i...

    I know there’s a world wide chip shortage right now due to COVID. I might work at a chip maker that rhymes with schmintel, and they seem to be working overtime but a lot of the smaller chip makes are struggling right now. Might have something to do with it.

    Yeah like i said its been a while but i remember it being pretty easy. I had a pretty good system in my old 85 Blazer in high school and did all the work myself with some buddies. I remember when every time I made bagging grocerys at Safeway went into my $5000 stereo that was in my $500 Blazer...

    Stopped by 2 stereo shops today and they both want over $1k to put in a $300 carplay deck and a backup camera. I haven't installed a car stereo in over 20 years but for that price ima figure it out and get something from Crutchfield.

    So over the weekend I got the headlights swapped for leds and did all the interior lighting as well. also did a headlight restoration and I think it turned out pretty good. Here’s a comparison before and after. Still plan on getting some different projectors in the future. The LEDs make such...
