    RockAuto Collector Magnets!

    Is this thread still alive? My collection is still growing. I was always under the impression you only get a magnet if you spend $100 or more. If that’s the case, I really need to rethink my life choices.

    02 Base for my son

    September has been a crazy month. Jack’s graduation was the only good part of the month. Some of you may remember me mentioning the time back in 05 when I was burned really bad, some may not. I was set on fire when a truck I was working on backfired and blew gas and fire on me. I mention this...

    02 Base for my son

    The other vehicle I’m working on is an 03 S-10 ZR2 I bought for my other son Josh. If needs a cat and some TLC, it’s been sitting for a few years and has some rust which is typical for these but it’s not awful. He will probably destroy this one anyway so I’m just getting him driving for now.

    02 Base for my son

    Now for the 02. Week before last on Thursday I was driving home from work at 11:30pm and while I was accelerating from a stop light, under normal throttle, at about 45MPH I heard a loud “bang” and the engine just revved. Like there was no connection between engine and transmission. I thought at...

    I’m back with an Esky this time

    Oh, and did I mention, it’s diesel! 28/36 MPG. When I seen this come up for sale, I had to get it for her. It’s quiet and she really likes it.

    As far as this Escalade goes, I still have it and might keep it, might sell it, haven’t made up my mind yet. I picked up another vehicle for Jess. The fuel was killing her and I know this thing needs some more TLC as it’s getting older and miles. I found a good deal on an 18 GMC terrain SLE...

    Couple updates. I should have put Jack’s Air Force update on the 02 Escalade thread but at any rate, I’ll finish it off here. He graduated from Lackland Air Force base on 9/18 & 9/19. First day is the airman’s run and coin ceremony. The second day is the graduation parade and their final swear...

    02 Base for my son

    I was going to put a double din in this 02 and I bought a new dash bezel that was suppose to be for an 03 which would have allowed me to do the double din but when it arrived it was for an 02 so that didn’t work out. So I just decided to try this radio and it worked out. The 02 is like a din and...

    I’m back with an Esky this time

    Going into WOT5 for Jack. Have not talked to him since he left July 30th, but we have communicated thru letters. He got to call when he got there to tell us that he made it. But that was a scripted call that he made to his mother. Video showing their first call. I’m glad he called his mom. He...

    02 Base for my son

    It installs like a normal radio and the screen goes on last. You can adjust screen up down left or right and I had to bring it up left and tilted in on left side so the shifter wouldn’t contact the screen in park. I had no idea the screen was going to be that big but I really like it. A little...

    Put a new stereo in the Esky. This thing cranks for everything else being stock.

    I thought you did it on purpose because I’m not around all the time. My last post says it’s waiting for approval. Why would that be?

    Craig! That made me laugh.

    I’m back with an Esky this time

    I had to fix the clutch at the beginning of the season. It started with the clutch not fully disengaging at the end of last year. Shifting gears was harsh with first to second banging something awful. I thought it was just moisture in the hydraulic system. Changed fluid and even bought an...
