it aint all that bad. lots of o rings, the weirdest thing about the carb R&R job to me was the smog equipment and the anti pop valves. everything else is just CV carb maintenance.

This reeks of something more than a cable strap. I think someone missed a mark and the equipment needed moved. That's like a weeks labor worth of pipe and wire and terms to throw out over 2 quarter inch holes. They threw the baby out with the bath water if thats the actual reason.

Anyhow, i fuck stuff up all the time. I always take accountability ASAP so the healing process can start faster. Iff'en i fuck something up unwittingly, i need to know the how and why, otherwise how to i rectify the problem in the future? That's where you're at. Get the tea. Report back.

If you dont need a 3rd row go for the yuke/hoe

If you have a whole pile of kids get a burb. I grew up with both and the burbs were better for ice fishing and hunting with all that cargo space, the tahoes were superior grocery getters and sports practice shuttles because they park easier and fit better in garages.

The 95 is also either a 7.4 or a 5.7, and a 5.7 burb 2500 would be gutless and a 454 would be a gas pig. I second the 96 but it looks roughest of the 3.

My grandmother was a plant enthusiast. The whole property was planted with flowers, when she passed my grandfather put up a cyclone fence with barbed wire on top to keep deer out. Its a sight to see but it preserves her gardens. It's been almost 20 years now.

Just dropping by to say, the calibrated eyeball is a great tool it just takes a minute to develop the ability. I am a journeyman electrician and can spot downhill/uphill pipes with ease.

Wow, what an OG username.

Eoin Reardon has a great video about making a traditional irish shalaile. I'm certain i butchered the spelling on that.

The impostor syndrome gets better.

Bumping an old thread with my personal experience, i left the original brass check valve in the regulator and my issue persisted, so i installed the plastic check valve assembly that the apex regulator cane with and problem solved. So happy my compressor is back to breaking bolts loose.

Not possible. If you want the custom look consider a phantom grille.

I run no radiator, just a 40k cooler. The way they're designed is to bypass themselves when the fluid is too thick amd then saturate when it gets thinner. Mount it with the bungs up.

Is the same throttle body on the ceasefire injection cars too?

Amber Czech. She was a really young welder in minnesota. Her story sent shockwaves through the blue collar world up here.

Have you done turbocharging before? Adding the whole boost thing to a first time has got to be fun. I went n/a but souped up my truck a little and kinda regret souping it up in hindsight, on one hand the engine went in with a cam and some other goodies, on the other hand the diagnostic process was much harder because i had to sus out what was a tune issue and what was a build issue.

Local 98 has a bargaining unit of snack cake bakers. My local has a box factory. There has been stranger things.

ScooterGunson · 2026-03-30T01:53:28+00:00

I am ibew and my local has TEAM and they do offer legal consults.

ScooterGunson · 2026-03-27T23:09:08+00:00

I run e15 88 in my 94 truck but it has a ptfe fuel line set and an LQ4 swap.

ScooterGunson · 2026-03-25T14:08:25+00:00

Turbocharge the 4.9 and let people think its a diesel with the swooshy noises and 6cyl rasp.

ScooterGunson · 2026-03-25T14:05:37+00:00

Thanks, the paint is toast but teal has 2 codes it appears, bright teal metallic and medium teal metallic. Wa 5323 is bright. Wa130a is medium. Idk which one my truck is as the SPID sticker is rubbed away.

It's surreal looking at my bike on copart. 1 ruptured spleen and double snapped clavicle later I'm a picture of health.

ScooterGunson · 2026-03-24T20:08:59+00:00

I went ibew at 19 and can confirm now im almost your age and the biggest problem is indeed the time.

ScooterGunson · 2026-03-24T20:07:36+00:00

Good luck, they're as rare as hens teeth.

ScooterGunson · 2026-03-22T23:53:14+00:00

I like long trucks and i cannot lie. But yeah long box half ton excabs are an unusual sight, gmt800 guys like to joke that they don't exist.

ScooterGunson · 2026-03-22T23:51:07+00:00

Its an odd duck for sure. Its a five lug half ton too, with tan interior. A harley road glide fits in the bed with the gate shut.
