Pillar mount gauges
The pillar one I had with my 95 pick up, it was screwed to the factory one. It came with screws and little black caps over the screw heads. It was a nice clean look. Just be sure to have it nice and tight to the trim piece behind. Last thing you need is to hit a bump or curb or Karens dog and...- jhornsby3

Running a heavier oil
I live in the Pacific Northwest. Central Oregon close to the coastal range. I use the recommended oils for the boats, and the pick ups. The lawn equipment gets the oils from the boats because the boats might get 20 to 60 hours a year of run time. So the oil is still good and clean. As for the...- jhornsby3

Running a heavier oil
Outside of the diesels, I run the 10w40 in everything. Mowers call for it. All three engines in the two boats calls for it. And the pick ups call for it. The pick ups get a full synthetic, The boats will be getting it this year. So the lawn mowers will be getting full synthetic next year. I put...- jhornsby3

Advice for a new owner of an old truck?
Did you get the extension harness to go with? And there is a resister that goes in the PMD plug. Did you get a new one with the PMD? I found the #9 resister to be the best for a little bit more fuel delivery. There is so much that can be done for diagnostics. And, for me, it's hard to relay...- jhornsby3

Advice for a new owner of an old truck?
Where to start. The CDR needs to be checked. The "tuna can" looking thing on the right side valve cover. It looks like the heater line from the coolant cross over has blown or has been leaking. Carefully remove the quick connect and put a barbed fitting on it. Remove the fuel filter housing...- jhornsby3

1995 k1500 aka granopy
Keeping it all in the realm of internal combustion engines would make life easier. Here on the farm, it's the vehicles, goats, boats, High Power Rocketry, Photography of vehicles, boats rocketry, aircraft and landscapes and our trusty ol golf cart. Those old yamaha gas powered golf carts are...- jhornsby3

1995 k1500 aka granopy
They moved from Clackamas to Boring, proper. From the Y, just keep heading N,NE and they are up on the left. It was a lot better when it was owned by the original folks. Last time I was in, everything smelled like cat piss.- jhornsby3

Get over to Sargent Gator's in Boring and see if they still have those slide in radio boxes. Cut in a few would make an awesome rig for overlanding.- jhornsby3

Tips on installing a Brake Controller in a OBS (1999 Suburban)
I'm not saying that it was wired for the Curt brand of brake control. But that it was wired for a plug in. I had to buy the harness that went from the GM plug to the Curt plug. The Curt brake was wired so that someone had to buy the harness for their vehicle, furd, GM, dodge or whatever. When I... -
Tips on installing a Brake Controller in a OBS (1999 Suburban)
My controller was just plugged into the box under the dash in my 1998 Burb. There was a harness that was plugged into the harness from the controller and was from Curt that plugged into the box. When I got my newer pick up, I had to get the harness from the controller to the new vehicle under... -
Correct amount of rust for a life in Pacific Northwest?
Naw, that is the ****** capital. :D Fentanyl is getting to be the drug of choice around most of Oregon now. Went to the VA in West Linn a few weeks back. Seen the Paramedics working on a woman down the road. Leaving that area, they were loading her into the coroner's van. Now dad picks up a...- jhornsby3

Correct amount of rust for a life in Pacific Northwest?
Oh, it's an industry all over Oregon. That whole valley area of Sheridan, Willamina to Grande Rounde and the Confederated Tribal lands are in such a state of depression. I'm out of the city area and in the rural county. But we still have drug murders or more of rural drug murder body dumps and...- jhornsby3

Correct amount of rust for a life in Pacific Northwest?
Being in Sheridan, Oregon (West Valley) and having several vehicles from used to new, that looks like a typical GM vehicle that came out of canada. My 99 Burb that was from Boise it's whole life, until I drove it all over hell and half of Georgia, looked exactly the same. My 95 pick up came from...- jhornsby3

GCWR -Suburban
Both of my trailers are OR registered as "excessive weight" vehicles. Any vehicle registered in this state now has a limit of 8200#. Anything over that it goes to commercial registration. So when I bought my 3500 and paid the title and registration, I paid what was already on it. Now. The way... -
Wont start
Almost sounds like a bad exciter wire and a bad battery. Just went through the same issue with one of my boat engines. A 1992 (GM)5.7l V8. Exciter wire was run in a bad location when the starter had been replaced before I bought it, causing the wire to rub and break. Along with a battery with...- jhornsby3
