    Daily truck pics

    Parked next to this really clean '95/96 ECLB c1500 yesterday. I took a quick glance at the mileage, and it's only got 74,000. Man that's a nice truck.

    Ever had this happen to you? The wiper drive seems to have broken in some way.

    '98 Busurban Storm Chase Vehicle Build

    So I started to notice a bit of positive camber on the Burb the other day and decided to investigate. Turns out that my upper ball joints failed me after just 2 years (they're looser than the originals were before I replaced them). This premature faliure may be attributed to a few factors such...

    2001 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Daily Driver Build

    Due to my bad forecasting, I managed not to ruin the blazer on this nearly 2000 mile escapade. But it did have a few minor issues. First off, the check engine light would flash due to a misfire whenever going up hill at high speed. Sounds to me like either dirty spider injectors or maybe the...

    '98 Busurban Storm Chase Vehicle Build

    I don't really see why one of these brackets wouldn't work? Though it's a shortcut, it seems like a pretty effective one. Could you elaborate on why it won't work? I guess drilling these bolts out and putting helicoils in it just sounds like hell to me (they're broken off below the surface)...

    I think I'm just going to buy one of these.

    I still don't know, I still got to have the whole SRS system scanned.

    I'm ready to go ruin my mint blazer. I'm driving to NE Oklahoma tonight for tomorrow's severe storm setup (outbreak potential).

    Yeah, I saw the videos, I like your channel. I really got to invest into a decent welder (like a Millermatic 211).

    CEL, P0307. Pulled the plug and looks like oil is on my sparkplug. What would cause oil to be on sparkplugs?

    With only 83,000 miles, I wouldn't think that the spark plug fouling would be due to worn piston rings (unless the original owner really didn't take care of it). I'm leaning towards dried out valve seals. Luckilly, this is a pretty doable job, the only special tool you'd need to get is a valve...

    2001 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Daily Driver Build

    Got the door jamb fixed, now all I've got to do is paint it (the welds look so nice that I don't think I'm gonna bother with any filler). I'm not this good of a welder obviously, I paid a fabrication shop to do this ($130). I also slotted the wholes on the striker in order go gain some adjustment.

    Painted my truck with turbo cans lol

    I'd feel a lot better about painting over tractor paint with hardener than over rustoleum. UV damage doesn't tend to cause delamination anyways, just fading. That's why tractor paint may be a good option for the fauxtina look. I did my '74 GMC with come catepillar yellow Majic brand tractor...

    Painted my truck with turbo cans lol

    I wouldn't do it again unless it was a proper beater. If you are going through the trouble of fixing rust or an dents, at least pick up a harbor freight paint gun as well as some tractor paint with hardener. It'll look 20 times and will not delaminate as easily as rustoleum. Also, if you were...

    I've done the Rustoleum Turbo paint job a few times myself. It's kinda ironic that I'm an actual Autobody Technician now

    I gave the 'Ol Burban a bath today. I especially paid close attention to the wheels and tires.

    2001 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Daily Driver Build

    Yeah, I'm at least going to try to get them to pay for it. Maybe I'll open a civil case against them just out of spite. One of my buddies did that once in a similar property damage situation. Once the company got served they just cut him a check because since they didn't want to deal with it.

    Yup, kinda my fault for going to one, but these aren't just swirl mark's, this is some actual damage.

    2001 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Daily Driver Build

    Someone's ass is going to be kicked. The car wash scratched my Blazer, and I'm going to make damn sure they pay for it. Apparently the manager isn't there, so I got to come back tomorrow. The scratches on the roof might buff out, but that spot on the door is down to primer. It may seem like...

    2001 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Daily Driver Build

    Uh Oh, this repair worked too well. No wind noise or rattles from the door, but I can't just leave it this way. This thing isn't a beater, I got to fix it right (Maybe I'll lap weld this piece over the existing situation and make the repair stronger?).

    2001 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Daily Driver Build

    I'm finally going to fix this disaster right here. Instead of trying to booger weld it back together (Someone's already tried to) I cut this piece out of a junkyard truck.

    2001 Chevrolet S10 Blazer Daily Driver Build

    So I'm gonna have to start drilling holes in this thing unfortunately. Holes to mount all my antennas and radios for storm season. I need to mount a CB, a 2 Meter, A 70CM, and a GMRS. That's 4 antennas, plus a mount a cell signal booster and an amber beacon that need go go on the roof. (This...
