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.
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.
