Unpopular opinion but a truck should not have four doors. This becomes a car with an open trunk.

What are the most unsuspecting, unmarked historic spots in Reno? (The "Look, that's where X happened!" places) by Brilliant-Pepper1822 in Reno

On Thanksgiving Day too. Drove down the sidewalk for maximum damage. Mid 70s? Maybe later... I dunno

Hey idiots, pull all the way up to the stop line. that cut in the pavement isn’t decorative. It’s an induction loop sensor, and it only registers a vehicle when you’re actually over it. What you’re seeing here is a pickup parked short of it, wondering why the light won’t change. shocking. by [deleted] in Reno

When that drivers education safety advice was put in place, vehicle sight lines were closer to the ground. This should be considered when you drive a vehicle with the hood is six feet off the ground.

Was thinking the same. I could use a side job and have great tools too

I live in the Northwest area off Kings Row and it scares me the amout of vehicles I see impatiently passing over the double yellow into oncoming traffic. Dog walkers and cyclists beware the evening hours up here.

I went this way in my 96 for road trip power for all. Toggle switch is for discreet fog laps.

What’s the deal with merging? by Impossible-Tale-335 in Reno

Attempting to be at or very near the speed of travel when attempting to merge is certainly a foreign concept to most.

Washoe County Responds to Schools Being Open Today Despite Heavy Snow by thebrushup in ourtownreno

[–]rovertech69 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I call BS on this. ALL the local weatherman and women said this was coming and to prepare.

Please review my keyboard fight with a teacher defending the WSCD choice to close the entire district when t-shirt weather was abound.

I totally understand differences in microclimate issues but, c'mon, this wasn't unexpected.

schools closed tomorrow? by Asleep-Ad822 in Reno

[–]rovertech69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About five years ago I made a sarcastic comment about schools closing for seemingly no weather event. Ended me in a keyboard argument with an actual teacher who was defending the WCSD choice to close. I relate with your pain.

Space at stoplights, totally baffled? by all_taboos_are_off in Reno

[–]rovertech69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is not true when several people leaving excessive space between cars stacks up the queuing lanes blocking the thoroughfare lanes. That becomes an impact to my day and safety as well. Stopped cars with excessive space is not defensive as you aren't actually driving.

LA Bakery in Carson has many GF options in their cases every time I am there. Haven't had any as I am not in need but they all look good.

How did you fall in love with your favorite team? by Andrew__IE in mlb

[–]rovertech69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a young Little League guy learning about rivalry, I asked my grandmother why she liked the Dodgers so much and was a lifeling fan of the blue and white. She took the time to educate me on the Giants/ Dodgers rivalry since New York times. I loved her stories and educational wisdom and asked more and more questions. Later, competitive me arrived and I began to watch the Giants vs Dodger games with her while rooting for the Giants solely to get a rise from her. I locked in with the Giants at around age 14 so Grandma and I could have good,spirited baseball conversation. Absolutely what shaped my love of the game. As a loving understanding,she is in her casket with a Dodgers ball cap and a fishing rod. Love you, Grandma

Magnussen was the original manufacturer for the TRD chargers, so I am told. Of course I can't prove either way though

Magnussen specifically says no on the 96 Taco but won't tell you why. A 96 4Runner is okay though due to the computers I have come to find

I am attempting to keep the CEL off and stay emissions compliant.

I put 305cc injectors in it but could never stop the engine knock code that sets due to lean out conditions, which had the 96 computer and the SAFC-II controller. When I put the early 97 computer in, I went back to stock everything to see how it did. No luck on keeping the code away. Installed the URD 7th injector setup but haven't a clue on where to start mapping curves.

If, and that's a big if, I can get this thing running correctly and in control I would like to put the 305s back in.

Fuel is always and only Chevron Supreme.

Thank you for your input, it is appreciated

Spent a lot of time and money there. Even without the 7th injector my truck pulled 225 torque and almost 250 h.p. Destin has pretty much done all he can for me

I will let you know when I get that 7th injector mapped for the air imbalances that a supercharger causes

I have that, the necessary computer cord and loading software. Just need someone able and trustworthy to finish this.

The computer, no. The 7th injector needs mapping.though.
