Worked it pretty good today. Had a 7:00AM breakfast meeting with the county EmComm Team, then filled it up with diesel and spent the rest of the day driving all over the county doing communications checks with the rest of the team. We did multiple radio checks (different power levels and frequencies) at every school (34) and shelter in the entire county, looking to see where any "dead spots" were. I think I spent half the day just driving up and down the shoulders of I-95 with the lights on, getting from one school or shelter to the next because traffic was a complete mess. Down to 15-20mph on I-95 through most of the state for some reason. I'm not sure how many miles I put on, but I do know I need to fill it up again and it has dual tanks (40 gallon total).

Oh, and noticed that the passenger side outside door handle got broken somehow. Have to report that to the county because there's been a lot of vehicle break-ins around here recently.

Why buy new when you can restore?

Nice Dennis! Those lenses don't look all that bad on the Blazer (some vehicles, like mine, look horrible with projector lenses).

I drove the Silverado on Friday (my new plan is to drive it at least every Friday until snow fall) so that meant the S10 sat. Today when I started the S10, it started fine, but it would begin to chug between 1800-2700rpm while under load. Eventually, after 10 minutes of driving, it quit and didn't do it the rest of the day. I don't know if I have bad gas or what is going on. I'm gonna burn through the tank and see if that helps at all or not (I'm really hoping it is only bad gas).

Gonna be towing a trailer with an 80's Malibu body, a junk 3.1L V6 (not from the Malibu), and some other misc. parts home from a friend's house and then take it to the scrapper on Monday for him since I'm off in the mornings.

Could be leaky spiders, plugged cat, bad fuel pump, clogged fuel filter, bad distributor cap and rotor, bad plug wires...

And thanks :D2

Only the black ones work... The chrome ones... Hells no.
