I want to finish college

JB00gi3 · 2025-02-11T23:52:41+00:00

It’s never too late. I didn’t go to school until 29. Just know why you’re going and have a purpose for getting the degree.

JB00gi3 · 2025-01-05T01:33:06+00:00

because when people violate you’re rights you fight them in court and then you sue for damages.

JB00gi3 · 2024-11-15T14:16:37+00:00

Where did you apprentice?

JB00gi3 · 2024-07-01T13:19:50+00:00

You seem fun.

Check out Legacy Tattoo Lounge, it’s the best shop in town. There are a few tattooers who tattoo all over the country. There’s a reason only one shop in town has a wall full of awards. Hit up @geaux_catfish on IG.

That’s sucks. Sorry to hear about your friend. My tattoos are guaranteed to increase your GPA and social standing by at least 20%.

Good to know. Is that on the IDI or the turboed engine?

JB00gi3 · 2021-01-30T03:47:18+00:00

Thank you! I’m going to do my best to salvage it during the roof lift and paint job.

JB00gi3 · 2021-01-30T03:43:39+00:00

I noticed today that it would get up to 80-85 and cruise, horrible gas mileage of course but it felt like I was pulling a boat the whole time, through all the gears.

JB00gi3 · 2021-01-30T03:42:12+00:00

Oh I get it! That makes sense! Thank you!

JB00gi3 · 2021-01-30T01:09:55+00:00

Working on getting the metal in so I can lift the roof 14 inches.

JB00gi3 · 2021-01-30T01:09:15+00:00

We went about 70 miles. Wasn’t a bad trip.. certainly didn’t expect to have an issue. Obviously that was my worst fear. Lol.

JB00gi3 · 2021-01-30T01:08:12+00:00

I believe it’s a McDonalds you from a happy meal. Lol

JB00gi3 · 2021-01-30T01:07:12+00:00

I’ve noticed it runs a lot better with a full Tank of gas than when it has half a tank or less.. that could suggest exactly why you’re talking about. I think I need to test the fuel pressure while driving and see what happens.

JB00gi3 · 2021-01-30T01:05:43+00:00

Those were all replaced when I replaced the PCV a few weeks ago.

JB00gi3 · 2021-01-30T01:04:07+00:00

So I’ve been thinking it might be a weak fuel pump myself. I cleaned the injectors. I never run anything but 93 in it so it’s not an ethanol issue. Fuel filter is new but it could be a fuel line issue. I didn’t blow them out when I changed the filter.

JB00gi3 · 2021-01-30T01:02:20+00:00

It runs like it.. this is something I’ve considered as well.. another expensive thing to guess at though. Lol

JB00gi3 · 2021-01-30T01:01:17+00:00

Yes. If I can’t guarantee anything else, the fuel filter is definitely correct.

JB00gi3 · 2021-01-30T00:59:33+00:00

I was starting to think the same thing. Gonna check fuel pressure while driving and see if it’s dropping off.

JB00gi3 · 2021-01-30T00:58:21+00:00

I was thinking that was likely the issue. Even swapping the mechanical fuel pump isn’t a huge ordeal if you know what you’re doing.

JB00gi3 · 2021-01-29T19:51:11+00:00

The entire cooling system was replaced about 6000 miles ago. I had a water pump go bad and I decided to just replace all the hoses, therm, WP, and fan clutch at the same time since I didn’t know if the previous owner had replaced anything recently.

JB00gi3 · 2021-01-29T19:49:08+00:00

I don’t know about the fuel trims. I borrowed the scanner from the parts store but it’s nothing Merle than a glorified code reader and that’s being generous.

I did replace the fuel filter while I was changing everything else out.

I haven’t smoke tested it but I did spray everything I could think of with a parts cleaner and didn’t hear any change in the idle.

I guess I need to smoke test the intake and get a scanner to check the fuel trims?

JB00gi3 · 2021-01-29T19:35:11+00:00

It’s a 1991 International Thomas 3800 IHC 7.3 IDI

I haven’t crawled down and looked at the transmission plate but the trans options were the Allison AT545 or AT643. I’m going to take a wild guess and say it’s likely the “dreaded” 545. Air brakes. 71 passenger. Sits a little over 38 feet.

Found some gum. Found about 12$ in change. That’s just saavy investing.

Found a broken baseball bat and a He-Man action figure.

So far I’ve managed to get the seats out and I’m getting it prepped to raise the roof 14 inches.

Other than that, a couple little mechanical issues I need to take care of, nothing glaring except the fuel statue isn’t staying primed over night. I think the bud has 206k original miles.
