    What are you working on today?

    Finished the Kilmat on the drivers side. Tied the resistor in before the relay. Originally had the resistor tied in at the back passenger taillight but the cruise would shut off when I turned on the blinker. There’s no way to split the brake and turn signal. The same 5v reference is present...

    My first odd credit card delay....and

    Costco visa you say.. I had sorta a weird one with Loves this weekend. Typically I thought Loves was $150 but the pump stopped at $100. But I had two authorization pop ups for $100 and $150. Their credit card is a pain at time and we have to use Walmarts.

    Started putting Kilmat in the RV cab. I might of bought too much. You get a lot for $60. Told the wife she might even be able to hear herself snore now!

    Why do people use the rear brake?

    On all my scooters and even pedal bike the rear brake is always first and the front is half second behind. Slam on that front brake in gravel or unstable surface you'll regret that decision. And actually on the pedal bike I've went over the handlebars with to much front brake. Motorcycles is...

    Sleep schedule differences between you and significant other.

    We used to but it's closer now. For years she had a 3-11:30p shift and I had a 7-3 but now she's on 6-4:30p.. it's kinda a nightmare LOL. Even with the new hours she gets less sleep than I do and kinda violent in her sleep. We've had separate rooms for over 10 years.

    No cruise control 04 Chevy Express

    Well everyone that said it need resistance you were right. The pcm inhibit is the link I think. Got these and just put it on the passenger side and it started working. Not going to put the drivers side on just kept it as a spare.

    Goodyear Reliant Tires for the kid

    Anyone else having issues with these tires? Gma put these on her Prius. You can feel what feels like a running over a line at a slow speed. I just drove it around the parking lot and it was noticeable. She’s been going back and forth with Walmart. It was fine with the old tires so in my mind...

    What are you working on today?

    Replaced the tailgate handle and passenger side window switch in my dad’s Spark. Involved a trip to probably the worse PNP in the KC area.

    Kinda looks like it was coming from that line but maybe it was the end cap.

    What are you working on today?

    04 6.0L in an Express chassis. I’ve changed it 3 times at least in 11 years we’ve owned. Last time was just last year. It looked to be a fracture in the housing. Wasn’t leaking out of the weep hole. Tested the coolant and it was good down below -20-25 so no idea. I think it’s been leaking for a...

    What is the single best vehicle to buy if you're a tightwad?

    I’d say the Chevy Spark or Nissan Versa. I’ve been driving my dad’s Spark and starting to grow on me. Auto trans seems to shift a bit wonky, don’t know how a CVT would change things.

    13 Spark coolant

    Thanks all.. it’s been switched out with Dexcool. Pulled the lower rad hose and flushed it with hose water twice and then distilled water twice. Came out looking like mud a few times. Relatively easy compared to what the trans will be.

    13 Spark coolant

    Well it turns out the water pump on the Chevy Express 6.0L sprung a leak. Have to buy jugs of Dexcool anyways so might as well buy another jug for the Spark. Guess they answered the question for me. Briefly thought about switching both to universal but don't like experiments with the RV.

    What are you working on today?

    Worked on the RV. Sofa was making an awful racket, trimmed the hinge piece back that was hitting on the front brace. Not sure why it was hitting. Trimmed the carpet back so the dog house would seal better. Found the source of the coolant smell.. coolant on the bottom of the water pump 🙄 At 103k...
