JUNE to DECEMBER CHAT-2012
#317
Hello all. Just a quick introduction here. Got my second F series this month ('67 Camper Spl). Looking forward to fixing her up and trucking around AZ. Brakes went out 100% last week so that's the first order of business. Then I have to take care of oil leaks.... I can't tolerate a leaky truck.
Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Good Afternoon Arizona. First day of summer & only 120 on the river.
Hey I took my Blazer to One Stop Automotive in Kingman today to get some work done. They have always done good by me & treated us both the wife & I very well & always fixed our issues for a fair price. One issue I was having was I felt like the fuel pump was on its way out. Things like it would whine sometimes & not others. It was hard starting sometimes & not others.
So I asked them to do a pressure & bleed off test. So they brought out this little 10"x10" notebook looking scanner & hooked it up. It read the pressure & read the bleed off which were OK. Then he switches the scanner to a different mode & he tells me we will read the electrical pulse of the pump motor. Crap an EKG on my car. Well it wasn't looking to good. Like maybe an emergency surgury was in order. So I had them install a new pump modular made by Delphi so I don't have to worry for sometime. These GMs do best on GM or Delphi products from my experience.
So anyway the next time I get $15,000 to buy a new scanner I will look into on of these units.

well I have officially been frisked by the secret service!!!!!!
what a day, I am in New Orleans for a convention this week. got back to the hotel tonight, cops and black cars and suv's everywhere. we get to the top floor and get off the elevator to be greeted by 6 secret service agents, I step off and one says "we are secret service, spread your arms and legs" I asked if it was Biden that was here and he said yes. after searching us we went to our room, about 1/2 hour later we leave our room to go to dinner and they are still outside our door, So I try to hook up with Him for dinner to no avail. so it was off to a hole in the wall for mud bugs and jumbalia.
