$3.21 has been this since Friday (right after I filled up....figures)

My mom's '10 G6 is doing the same thing. We took it in a week or two ago and they replaced the actuator, but I drove it today and it will go from blazing hot to cold without any warning. Then it'll sometimes stay on cold or go back to hot. It's still under warranty for another 16k so I'll be...

Your GMC is WAY WAY WAY too clean to even think about touching!!! If you really want to do the swap in a GMT400, get another truck and do it. You'll still have 2 trucks, but it's well worth it to have a project/fun truck and a reliable DD. When I got quotes from Progressive for having insurance...

Picked up 11 12pks of pop today on sale ($2.50ea). Mom wanted it to stock up for Christmas since it is at our house.

:werd: :withstupid: It was 40* here today. The one day of snow we had that stuck, maybe 1", is all gone and it is all green now. :fume: :wtf?:

Perfection! :thumbs: The PTM plate bracket is perfect!

Drove it to work and home.

Filled it up yesterday. Got 16.3mpg which still sucks for a "smaller" truck (the Z71 got 14 in the winter when I drove it; and my other V6 S10 got 18-19). Did the throttle body mod to my spare one tonight (where you cut off the diffuser plate on the back side of the butterfly). I'm gonna...

Cool and very interesting! :cool: I wonder if superchargers are made in a similar way?

Very nice Tyler! :thumbs: Should serve you well and last for years!

Congrats on the fun new job and pay increase! :thumbs: So...you still get to keep the Ford right? :jester:

Someday I hope it will be. :) Well, last year, I parked my 4x4 to drive a 2wd. :lol:

It's not such a bad thing. I get to have all the fun in the good weather with the Z71 and save it from the salt while having fun in the snow with the ZR2. If I didn't have the ZR2, it would be a boring winter. I just wish I felt like working on the Z71 more in the winter. I have the time, not...

Well, I still want to have fun with the ZR2 this winter so it can't go too fast. :D Winter is welcomed too so that I can save some money (as very little as it will be with work being almost non-existent in the winter) so I can get the miscellaneous parts that I will still need when the time...

Wow, haven't updated this in a while! The truck really didn't get much done to it for 2011, however, parts are piling up! :thumbs: August 4, 2011 I bought a Whipple for it (as some of you may have seen my thread on it; here). This was a big deal for me because I was worried about not being...

And that's why it should have been handled differently. Only one guy early on was nice and plainly stated what the site was about. The rest were just a-holes.

I didn't think it was possible. Someone built a less-capable truck than Honda. :chipper:

:lol: Wow, that's a new one! I'm closer to parts than you for a change!! Usually I'm always the one coming up there. Pretty good savings! :thumbs: They'll probably get old from age before the tread wears out at the rate you drive! :D

Kyle, where are they at?

Ouch! Those guys are harsh! :chipper:

Yeah, but why use the expensive/good stuff when I still have to change at the green interval? Might as well just save it for the Z71.

Engineer should have changed his name and stayed on! I probably won't risk it. I might have an iron block, but the heads are still aluminum. The green Prestone stuff goes on sale for $1.99/gal with a rebate so I'll just wait for that to come around again. Thanks for all the info Jim! :thumbs...

Just wait for the NNNBS to come out! Don't forget OOBS for the pre-87 trucks! :jester:

Jim, I bought 8 gallons of Dexcool at one time. They had a Buy-1 Get-1 free deal so I stocked up. Glad I did because they've yet to do it again! :thumbs: So I only paid for half of it. :D Thanks for the clarification Jim! The article says: So if I were to flush it out extensively and get...

Son....of....a....bitch! :frustration: I have 6 gallons of Dexcool sitting around!!! Can I ever go back? (doing a complete drain, flush, flush, flush, refill) Or would I have to replace everything (engine and coolant system)?
