was it the one on the side? it is a bit advanced compared to the one on top. lined up, then roll two line widths to the passenger side, usually dead on. let me know if that doesnt work and what it sounds like.

 

Nope, there were 2 lines on the top nearly 1/4" apart. The one on the passenger side was mostly ground off so I lined up the drivers side line with the static mark (so the more advanced position). Was greeted to it starting up with a quite ungodly loud rattle with the cold advance/idle on but quieted down once the fast idle came off. Took it for a quick drive and felt weak for new injectors and injection pump so I rolled it back towards the ground off mark to pull out some advance. Once I finish up the rest of the plow stuff I'm going to take let it warm up and stick my luminosity probe on to get it close and then head over to my cousin who's got an piezo injector pulse sensor and said he'd help me get it timed up.

Then I can make my own confusing 3rd mark

 

Last year was a joke. We got like a foot if that out here. I was driving the family 1/2 ton at the time. I think I used 4wd twice. And that was for getting out of our parking lot, and back into it before it was cleared lol.
Yet there was a ton of vehicles wiped out all over the place, and in ditches... People talk **** about californians up here. But I find the life long residents tend to be worse, because they get so cocky they don't respect the road.

 

Yeah i saw no foreign plates in the ditch and the van with florida plates was doing just fine! hahaha wonder who that crazy guy was. 09 winter was boring, we got two good snows at about 6" each so yeah it was lame. Didnt stop me but when a city bus slid past me down the malahat i turned around and went back home. I have no time for friggin idiots.

 

lol i rember one when i was living in clear lake it was like a inch powder and people were in ditchs and my mom was laughing i was in 5fth grade

 

yeah joe, i heard that winter was a bad one, last year

 

I'm hoping for a somewhat tamer winter this year for once.

(We're about 15 miles west of Port Washington indicated in this summary):
February 23-26, 2007 – West-central through southern and eastern Wisconsin
– Two-round storm, with one overnight the 23 rd to 24 th , and the second round
overnight the 24 th into the 25 th . Leftover snow accumulations continued
overnight the 25 th into the 26 th . In counties surrounding La Crosse, 8 to 15.6
inches (Galesville) fell in round one, while round two produced 6 to 12.5 inches
(Sullivan NWS office) over the southern three-fourths of the state. The leftover
snow added another 1 to 4 inches, except for 6 to 14 inches from New London
into Door County. Many locations totaled 20 to 25 inches for this long-duration
two-punch episode from around La Crosse to Port Washington, and a small part
of Door County. Gusty winds generated snow drifts up to 5 to 7 feet in height.

As if the snow wasn't bad enough, the drifting was enough that I'd have to plow the driveway 2 or 3 times a day even when it didn't snow!

Then the next year:
February 5-6, 2008 – A long-duration, massive winter storm with near-blizzard
conditions pounded southern Wisconsin with 10 to 21 inches of snow.
Thundersnow and a few gusts to 35 mph reduced visibilities to ¼ to ½ mile.
Drifts to 4 to 5 feet in height were reported. A huge vehicle-backup incident
occurred on Interstate 39/90, mid-way between Madison and Janesville that
closed the Interstate. At least 1548 vehicles were stuck for 10 to 20 hours in both
directions. The greatest accumulations were 18 to 21 inches in parts of Rock County, southeastern Dane County, and southwestern Jefferson County.
Milwaukee Mitchell Field closed for several hours at the height of the storm.

I finally jacked the dang truck up 4.5" so I don't have to keep digging the dang body out of the snow drifts

Last year wasn't any better either! It's no wonder I about killed my plow truck over the last 3 years. Last year was the worst because I not only blew out a transfer case (2nd one) I cooked the transmission (nothing left of the clutches to grab heh) and cooked the front wheel bearings. I'd spend so much time plowing and not going anywhere that the gasser didn't have enough air flow/radiator to cool the engine. I switched from mechanical fan to dual electrics and it still couldn't keep up, so I'd have to plow for a while, then go drive around the block to cool it down so I could finish plowing. There were a few nights I'd park it and within a few minutes she'd be boiling over from the built up heat.

I think my diesel will fare much better

But I won't be sad if I don't see any snow for a while... sorry to all you guys making money on plowing lol

 

lol u ever herd of tuckie californa look uo the avg snow fall

 

Can't say I've heard of Tuckie CA... And I can't find it on google maps or get much info on a google search. Unless you're referring to Tucki Mountain in death valley, which I don't think gets much snow.

 

here it is read the Climate this is for all the igronte people who it never snows in cali Truckee, California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Good amount of snowfall (198" annually) but Truckee is 5,817 ft MSL. That's pretty far up there. We're at 887 feet MSL. And we average about 50" year. The last few years we've gotten nearly half our yearly average in a single snowfall. '08-'09 We had just over 70", '07-08 we had 115"
