Come on Tuggles... You know what I mean...

A broken/disconnected UVC harness is not the end of the world, you can drive to where ever you need. You know when you have to stop and pull over.

90% of people will run a 3 gauge set up, maybe a 4... EGT, Boost, Fuel Pressure if your a manual. EGT, Boost, Trans Temp, Fuel Pressure if your an auto...

I was just reflecting on this guy:





He's a member here that we haven't seen in a while. His injector wiring on the passenger side completely failed - while he was on vacation. He drove just far enough to get supplies, but his EGTs were off the scale and he knew to keep it local. I couldn't get to him until the weekend, so a lot of his vacation plans were shot to hell... but his engine was not endangered because he had that useful tidbit of information. If the driver-side UVCH failed, he could very well have been more daring with the Ex - nobody knows. As it was... I brought tools, a canopy, some heat, a valve cover gasket/UVCH, and we got him ready to drive home (over a mountain pass) with zero issues.




Sometimes one would get the impression I'm paranoid - but I just so happen to be one of those guys that's always in the middle of it, and I decide this stuff based on personal experience.

I'm confused how a failed UVC harness would cause high egt... the exact reverse is what should have happened.

Failed UVC means no fuel, means no heat...

It failed on the passenger side, and the driver side got hotter-N-hell. I'm just saying it's a good thing he had the EGT gauge on the useful side, or he may have been oblivious as to how bad it was getting.

I heard the Silver Dollar Cafe closed down or burned down, I am unsure which. With I82 going in and Hanford closing down, it just didn't have the same traffic flow as it did when it was built. Two things kept it going - the Hanford cleanup, and the lack of proximity to any freaking thing. Think about it... you're on your way to work at a nuclear superfund cleanup site from Yakima or Sunnyside, and after driving through mile of nothing - you happen upon a shack with food, restrooms, and the lights on.
