Re: SoCal checkin' in
I've heard nothing but good things about the Hydro Boost brakes.

Re : GM Hydroboost Brakes
O.K. , we had these on nearly our entire Fleet and it was not so good ~ whenever the V-Belt failed , you lost brakes and steering both at the same time , usually the belt failed when some idiot cut you off and you braked hard .
Just beware that all is not roses with this system . I hope to never had any vehicle so equipped .

Re: SoCal checkin' in
LOL!!! Thanks Lee, I see some nice seats in your avatar.
I used a place near me in Gardena. It was reasonable, just took a bit longer than I wanted. |

I was driving my truck today and smoke began coming through the dash speaker grill. There was quite a bit of smoke, it started to fill the cab. Because of where it was coming from I thought it was coming from my radio so I shut the radio off, pulled over as soon as I could and the smoke slowed then stopped. When I got home I pulled the radio, no sign of any heat so I pulled the glove box to get a better look at the situation, no melted electronics, wires or anything else. I opened the radio, no sign of heat. I looked over every square inch under the dash, no sign of heat or damage of any kind AND everything, EVERYTHING still works, the radio was still playing when I shut it off. Everything in my truck is new, wiring harness, electronics...you name it, it's new. What do you guys think? |

Re: SoCal checkin' in
Smelled like burning plastic/electronics. Makes me uncomfortable to not be able to find the cause. Talked to the radio manufacturer today, they say "not coming from the radio" but that I should bench test the radio to be sure. I had lost the left front speaker channel a week or so ago and the radio manufacturer says it may be the "pigtail" (wiring harness) and they will send me a new one. The smoke problem cropped up after I lost the channel.

Re : Pick-A-Part 50 % OFF Sale
Not this year as it's always a real zoo .
I have been meaning to ask : are C/10 & C/20 trailing arms the same ? . I suppose I shoulda gone and looked for a good cab , I could either use it or cut it up into repair panels . Instead I went to Kaiser for pre surgery workups (they finally gave me a Surgery date of 12/6) then passed out in my recliner reading the new Tom Wolfe book before getting off my duff and de rusting the gas tank in my Metropolitan Nash FHC....

Re: SoCal checkin' in
Checking in from West Torrance/Redondo Beach area in the South Bay. Great to see so many active socal users here!
My rig is a '77 K10 Silverado. See pic in my sig. Does anyone ever organize any meetups or group activities around here? That would be pretty fun to meet with other truck owners. |
