Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Yesterday, I changed the oil in my three motorcycles. I discovered that the water pump seal in one of them was leaking, as the oil came out somewhat milky appearing. Parts ordered the fix that.

Took wife and mother in law to breakfast then came home and took down all Christmas decorations inside the house. That was about it.

Ok, '96. I wasn't sure when passenger air bags came out. I actually like that it has a V6. These days I save my bigger motors for bigger heavier trucks that need the added power. That 4.3 will getcha along just fine

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I think that ZE5 is an owner applied deal. Pretty funny, have stickers made to show off that your truck is nothing special. I think I'll get a windshield banner that says "Base Model" and a vanity tag that says NO OPS
![]() It was Jan '22 the last measurable amount of snow has fallen at BWI Airport (Balto). A couple weeks shy of two years. About noon tomorrow the storm will hit here. BWI is getting rain so the streak continues. Here were supposed to get about 4" but rain will mix in. If it's going to snow at all I wish it would be a real snow not this half-assed slushy BS. They already spread metal-eater on the roads around here a good day and a half ahead. I hate it. Even if you stay home when it snows to keep your vehicle out of it, you threw it up on your vehicle on this sunshine day

decals, decals and more decals.... prev owner works in the movie industry he also owns a twin cam Harley orig dealer decal. was sold at Preston Chev-Olds was put together in Indiana apparentley it had more decals as well. the door rub strip is off both sides cause the first owner was a hot rod shop that used it for a parts chaser, they took the trim off cause the shops decals covered most of the doors...which explains why the trim is missing |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
it blows me away how strait and untouched the body is
i did find some minor body damage though, the rear bumper has a small dent and there's a small dimple in the pass wheelwell, as well as the chrome peeling off the front bumper have to say, i really like the int upgrades gm did in '95. the dash is waaaay more nicer and easier to reach than the old '90's square dash. went from zero cupholders to 6 cupholders...and the seat is unbelivably comfortable. apparentley the hot rod shop took out the factory bench and the guy i bought it from thinks it was a split out of a yukon maybe. not familiar with this seat, anybody recognize what it's out of? |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
of course for a for a 27 yr old truck, it does have a couple minor issues.
the prev owner put all new brakes and a master cylinder in, stops like a mother, but the abs light is on. i've heard the sensor behind the front wheel gets moisture in it pretty easily and trips the light. when backing it on my lawn last night, i used 4 lo so i wouldn't tear up my grass, i noticed a slight ticking from the drivers cv, but i got 2 new cv's in my stepper i can rob. also one corner of the headliner is dropping a bit. it has 220 000 kms (approx 135 000 miles) and i do need to put new license plate and dome light bulbs in it. other than that runs so sweet and smooth. had my 90 stepper for 28 yrs, i don't see why this one won't last as long. overall i think it's pretty good considering i paid $6500 for it and i'm hoping to get enough $ selling the grille guard and tool box so i can get a canopy, which i most definitely need so the dawgs can go riding in it. |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That is very true. Must have been a regional promotion or a dealer's own "conversion"

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Today I don't know what I'll be doing. Snow has been called for all week long, so I had things here planned that 4-6" of snow won't get in the way of. But the forecast started changing to my area getting some mixed precip after 3-4", then last night saying it will change to all rain, some mixed, after 2-3" of snow, so most likely all that will get washed away. Now this morning they are saying trace to 1"/mixed/rain earlier. So it's nothing but a cold-ass miserable day that cancels out any inside/outside work. Just yuck!
How much of a football fan are any you? The Ravens and Steelers have their playoff game in Baltimore today where it will be all rain all day. Kickoff is at 4:30 when they are calling for heavy rain @37*. By game end just rain, not heavy, @38*. If these were your teams and you had tickets, would you go to sit for 3 hours at 5* above freezing in soaking rain sitting on a plastic seat? No way Jose! Not me
