    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.

    This is what im looking at. I would prefer Pioneer but they don't seem to be instock. may skip the ready harnness thing but for $25 its seems worth 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...

    Yeah man I've definitely checked out your thread. You've done a lot of stuff I wanna do as well so its quite the inspiration. You will very likely be getting some DMs in the future lol. Cam and Headers are for sure on the list but it will prolly be a little while till the budget clears up. I...

    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...

    Truck as ~220k miles. Really great shape. We took it a mechanic to get check s out and the only things he recommended was an oil change, coolant and PS fluid flush, serpentine belt change and ac mode door replacement, so we had him do it all just to have a good starting point. I bought some...

    I’ve had the truck for a couple of weeks now and I guess it’s time to start doing stuff.

    Another Headlight Question

    Crazy because i looked at those on CarID yesterday and it said out of stock and didn't know when they would be back. The more research i do it seems like all aftermarket headlight assemblies are garbage. I may just buff out the stock ones and try and find some decent bulbs. Right now its damn...

    Another Headlight Question

    Hey I'm looking at these headlights as i really like the DRL Bar thats on modern cars https://www.ebay.com/itm/FOR-99-02-SILVERADO-LED-DRL-BUMPER-SIGNAL-HEADLIGHT-LAMP-TOOL-SET-CHROME-CLEAR/383467748536 I'm hoping that being ~$200 they may be better than the super cheap $60 ebay lights. Has...

    Here’s a few more pics. That same varmit got the other side of the bumper as well. I plan on doing a full fluid change this weekend. I don’t have any maintenance records other than the carfax and the oil change sticker from 400mi ago but I’ll prolly change it anyway. Also having a mechanic do a...

    drivers seats in great shape which was one of the major selling points lol. I didn’t see any manifold bolts that were broken but I wasn’t really looking for it so I’ll check that out today.

    Yeah I’m in Beaverton but I’ve used a PDX handle for 20 years. It’s got 220k miles. Other than that bumper scrap and normal wear and tear it’s in pretty close to perfect shape. Engine seems pretty damn strong and trans shifts good. It’s far better than most we looked at over the last couple...
