No more guessing where my RPM is at :badpokerface:

How long did it take you to swap the gauges?

I have a J's racing lip if you're interested :fullofwin:

should be just unhook old one, plug in one with tach,
so 5mins?

Yeah, 5-10 mins to swap the cluster.

Why didn't you use the old speedo with the correct/lower mileage?

Weekend consisted of:

Extended Studs in Rear
10mm Spacers in Rear
"Magazine-DIY" Rear Fender Pull
Open End Lugnuts
Yellow Fog Covers
Thule Fairing

Don't forget, it took 4 big Filipino's to get you wide enough to squat. :ifyouknow:

1000lbs in the rear :lawl:

I eye-fucked the shit out of it from the window and thought of all the things I need to do to it... Once i'm graduated here i'll attend to it.

Took about half an hour for me because one of the electrical connectors wouldn't detach from the cluster shroud. (8 screws and 6 connectors)
I will next weekend, I found a dead spot/bulb in my newly installed cluster. I was just too excited to have a tach and was running out of daylight.

Sweet. Yeah a couple of the connectors are a bitch to get off if they've never been removed. Make sure you plug it in and check the lights before to screw it back in for the last time.

Debagded :fullofwin:

Pardon the Samsung plug lol, was holding on to several things

cleaned it up really good. installed missing antenna. Changed wheels from 15" XXR to 13" ATL from Germany. Fixed passenger side door panel handle.

Have the girlfriend's car (2005 Chevrolet Blazer) for a couple weeks while she's cruising around the Interior with mine. Had a new HU installed at Soundsgood, installed a new brushbar w/PIAA spotlights, replaced the calipers and installed new rotors and pads, put in a new fuel filter. Couple other things as well that I've forgotten about.

However, when I went to start it on Friday night to move it in order to replace her e-brake cables, it just kept on cranking and cranking without turning over. Did a few tests and determined her fuel pump died. Fuck.

So... spent this afternoon pulling the tank. Not a fun job, especially when it's never been done before and the entire underside is coating with two metric tons of rocks, dirt and sand. Anyway, this is where it's at while I wait for a new pump to get in.

For the record, I am never, ever buying any GM vehicle made between the 90's and late 00's. They are such shit.

I wouldn't buy a GM SUV/Truck without the 5.3/6.0/6.6 in it.

not a fun job at all. hate pulling tank's out.

I said fuck it and cut a panel out of the rear floor of my K5. It took less time to modify the panel to screw back into place, than it would have to drop the tank.

You drove it down here on the shit breaks? lol

Looking back, it actually wasn't that big of a job to pull the tank. Eight bolts for the shield and four for the straps. The bitch part was trying to disconnect the stupid squeeze clamps that hook up to the feeder and drain tubes on the pump itself. Ended up breaking two of the plastic tubes inside the clamps. Luckily the whole assembly is being replaced, so it wasn't that big of a deal. No, I imagine the real trouble is going to happen when the tank goes back in. There is one tube that I've no idea how I'm going to reattach and the filler neck is in a super awkward spot on these vehicles.

:okay:

Oh, and Ice... no, I swapped the brakes up in Salmon Arm before I drove it down to the Lower Mainland. I may be stupid, but I'm not suicidal. :p

Seems like you got the short end of the stick, why'd she get your car?

car is sold today :tears:

Better fuel mileage. She's currently driving from Salmon Arm to Kelowna and back every day for school. Plus I offered to repair a few things while I had the vehicle. Just didn't expect so much to go wrong with this thing :lol

~4 hour total commute a day... THAT must suck. Although those roads are rather fun...

^ not the highway.

What?

Nah, he's right. Most of the drive between the two cities is pretty damn boring. However, there's a fantastic back road between Enderby and Armstrong that I freakin' love. I forget the name of it now but it's full of foot hill twisties. It's worth the extra five minutes added onto your trip driving that road.
