The cheaper rotors with the aluminum stuff inside, would only last six months on the Burb. The Blue Streak rotor, with brass contacts and better dielectric strength plastic, last two years. That's driving it every day in Houston, Texas area, sometimes in traffic but always hot and humid.Last week I went out to the hangar to grab a spare pressure plate for the Camaro and on the way this thing started shuddering, farting, and unlocked the torque converter. In no mood to deal with it, I tossed the plate in the Corvette and drove that home. Sunday I went back to try and datalog misfires to give me an idea where to look but the damn laptop wouldn't connect to it. Tried again today, same, but a Snapon Solus was available to borrow today and it pointed me to cylinders 2 and 8. They happen to live next to one another and come in close contact inside the distributor cap, so I gave that a whirl with a new rotor and it was back to its old self. I bought pieces with brass contacts, hoping those live longer than. The aluminum that was on there.

Hmmm, Maybe Blue Streak ain't what it used to be.....for Rawhide I got the UMP vented Cap and rotor, together it's like a buck extra for the rotor. Works great!!O Really's had a Blue Streak rotor and it had an aluminum contact! I remembered you'd mentioned Blue Streak in your thread and was surprised to see that, so went with the O Reilly's cap and rotor that came with the brass.
That's something I've been putting off for way too long. Tint isn't near as expensive as I thought it would be, I just need to man up and pull the triggerToday I finally did something I should have done before it got hot: tinted windows.

It's just the fronts. From the outside they're an excellent match with the factory tinted rears. From the inside you can tell the fronts are just a touch darker. They not ridiculously dark either, I'm really happy with my $22 purchase at the pull and pay. Since I had the doors apart I finally added the wiring for the blinkers in the mirrors. Tomorrow I'll clean and reinstall the door panels, they're long overdue for a good cleaning.

That's a big factor, both of my trucks are dark; the crew cab has some tint on it but not much and it definitely keeps a little cooler than the red truck since it's a fishbowl and dark red.Both my crew cabs have them. The dually doesn't seem to work as hard to keep it's cool, I figure the windows must play a part. Well, that and it's white.
