    Does helping a neighbor count?


    If so, I helped the neighbor remove stuck boots that came off the coils. Some pretty new Kia 4 door sedan. The guys 19. His wife's an Army machinic.

    Every year when it warms up, my truck starts squeaking. It's usually the ball joints (I'm horrible at remembering to grease them every oil change). Well, it's about that time again. Looks like there's gonna be a hub that needs to be replaced as well this time and my brakes are clunking when applied. The thing is - I already made sure my calipers are snug, so I'm not sure what it is. Maybe my caliper piston(s)? I did just replace my belt because it was squealing.

    Pulled the fuse to my NPP Exhaust on the Corvette, sounds badass 100% of the time now since the flaps stay open.
    Does that affect back flow at all?
    Just found it. Looks like I need an O2 sensor.
    I've needed one for about 3 years now. Lol
    I finally was given one from a guy I know so I'll probably get it swapped out in a few months.

    Wash - for the first time in a year easily, oil/filter change. The latter gets done regularly - Castrol & a Bosch filter.

    I drove the old pickup truck a week ago and again yesterday. Does that count for anything? If it matters, I expect to need to drive it again approximately six days from now.

    I suspect a warped crankshaft. But hey - I've gone 80,000 miles now with the crank pulley shaking, so that's kind of impressive actually. I've replaced the injectors, ignition system, and 2 harmonic balancers. All I can think of that's left is the crank.

    If anything it opens it up more. Normally those flaps open at 3.5k and higher under heavy load. It's a common mod on the Corvette forums, except they pay 100 dollars for a mild to wild switch that lets them toggle it on and off. I didn't see a need and just pulled the fuse. If I hate the noise after awhile I'll put it back in. It's just a straight pipe with no muffler.

    Bought a CJ7 that sat since 2008, SB Chevy automatic. Has a custom rear disc brake conversion from drums to Eldorado discs. Replaced 2 calipers and master cylinder and ready for the beach!

    Last month I threw on some LED headlights, and this past week I redid the transfer case, hydroboost lines, bump stops, and my audio work.
