Whatcha grillin?


Thats punny!

 

plugged in the code reader.... bad front right wheel speed sensor.

Might as well do both sides, and lube the bearings while I"ve got it that far apart. Good thing I've got the armylifer zerk

 

So so it was collateral damage from another failed ST tire, great........
It does make for a good picture and a few very funny replies though.

 

AC question: When I have the AC set to normal (not Max), and the fan on the lowest setting, there is air moving. But, with fan on low and AC on Max, the air stops moving. Is this a resistor issue??

Edit: all the other speeds work properly on both AC modes. Could someone test this? I have a 2001, manual controls.

 

Its the reason I switched to bias ply on my TT.

 

Its the reason I went with extreme overkill G rated all steel STs on my TT. So far these Sailuns are doing great.

 

So far my Maxxus ST 10 plys have been fine. I will say I am careful about my ST tires and how old they get.

 

I very much dislike changing tires on the side of the road, I have done it way way too many times already in my life. I am constantly watching tire condition and dates. Even still they just fail every now and then.

Oddly over all my years I have only had to change 1 trailer tire on the side of the road. But have changed well over 10 probably closer to 20 truck tires on the road. Worst is when it happens on the highway, I much rather change them on a dirt road any day.

 

You're supposed to change them on the SIDE of the road?

 

Not today but last weekend I got around to swapping out the seeping diff cover. I opted for an aluminum one with a drain plug. Sorry for the crappy coloration on the pictures-- I had to adjust it to brighten it up so you could see.

 

Hacked the 5 digit code for keyless entry on my "new to me" 2000 Excursion. With great assist from this site.

Turns out the factory wallet card that came with the vehicle when I bought it last week has a 5 digit number on it BUT IT AIN'T THE CARD / CODE FOR MY TRUCK.

Punching in the long string of numbers was not nearly as bad as I thought. Found the factory code in about about 10 minutes. Many thanks for the assist

 

Used the EX to finally launch the boat after an originally exciting but rapidly turned dismal boating season. Boat is now running good, Ex is still the workhorse and running great, she sees less mileage now that I run an 07 Honda Element back and forth to work

 

Just started my boat yesterday after pulling the engine to replace a rear main seal. The noise I was looking for is gone, I think some of the flywheel cover bolts were loose. My boating season has been a bust too this year.

 

UGH...boating...Mine is still in storage as Clifford is still in pieces and no other real tow vehicle. I have been able to jump on a boat a few times this year, which has been nice of my friends.

 

Our boat (1989 SeaRay 220CC) hasn't seen much use over the past few years, we spend our time off traveling and camping these days. Last week my Bride and I decided to gift it to her younger sister and her husband who have been looking for a boat in that size and configuration, they are super excited about the boat! It just seemed like the right thing to do, it was originally my wife's older sisters boat, then we bought it several years ago and now it will be passed down to her other sister, who will get plenty of use and enjoyment from it instead of it sitting next to our garage. Now we have a fair bit of cleaning up to do on it before we hand it over to them, it hasn't gone swimming for about 4 years now and it needs a good scrubbing and coat of wax.
We are very happy to know that a good boat will be getting used and loved again!
