Rawhide and The Burb

[RedneckWithPaychecks]

As long as it's less than 40 foot, I can fit it.

I agree on the size of a CCLB. I thought my ECLB was big. I'd like to have a CCLB but I don't think it would fit in my driveway. My ECLB barely fits as it is.

I wish I had that much room. With my front bumper at the front of the driveway my trailer ball is hanging out into the "sidewalk" area of the drive way. I sort of want to know how many people walking down the sidewalk at night have ran into it.

I wish I had the full potential of my driveway, but well, this image kinda sums it up.

Wife doesn't agree but how is a broken 4L60 NOT a cool thing?

Some places are real persnickety about parking on the sidewalk (as in your vehicle hanging over). The town next to where I grew up is like that, and they are not very car people friendly at all. Many of the Houston suburbs have that problem....

I am lucky and don't have worry about that. It doesn't go much into the sidewalk. Maybe 6-8 inches. Maybe someday I will get bills paid off and I can make the drive way longer.

This afternoon I got the fuel filter changed, and Rawhide runs a lot better! The rough idle is almost gone, so hopefully a couple more tanks of gas will get rid of the rest of the old stuff.
Will eventually do a "tune up"(cap, rotor and plugs) but that seems like it can wait till next paycheck. I'm going to use the UMP vented cap and blue rotor with the brass contacts; I've been very pleased with them on the Burb. One nice thing about both trucks having the same engine, what works for one, should work for the other.
Also changed the left side taillight circuit board out, I figured it was bad when new bulbs didn't make the turn signal and brake light on that side work. Now no more hyper flash,yay! Guess there was a reason I was saving those old taillights off the Burb....

I recommend dumping in a full bottle of Marvel Mystery Oil in the next couple three tanks of fuel. Should really help clean stuff up.

Good news!

I think that's what I fitted to mine last year (though the rotor box has WVE on it). Whatever it was it's all working fine. The brass contacts were the 'must have' for me. The original cap had terminals made of what looked like an alloy of lead and chalk but had originally been aluminium at some time.

Yep, and, you can swap bits over to diagnose a faulty component if needs be.

Beautiful crew cab! Looking forward to seeing the progress

May be doing a bit of that tomorrow. Had to go to work this morning, then the phone store( the Nokia that I've had for 14 months is being discontinued so they want to set me up with a Motorola).
