Gonna put my 2wd yukon xl through its paces tomorrow. :masturboy::lolguy:

The price is right. If i was in the market for another vehicke and could convince the wife to split from her odyssey id be all over it. I love my 02 yukon xl even with its rust

Well that got dicey but i wouldn't want Meyers last game to end any other way.

This helps the hangover. Thanks

Fuckers!!!!

I want this so bad. Still gotta finish the 79 300D im bringing back to life for my father in law or id be really tempted.

Me getting my girls ready to leave and getting them dressed. Me: "Peyton, have you seen your sisters pants?" Her: "I don't see them" proceeds to sniff the air. "But i smell em". My wife and i were rolling at her seriousness.

What is he looking for? Im at Dan Tobin Chevy. May be able to get them at a good price. Our prices are usually right with tire discounters if not lower. If not i may be able to price match

I got one for $20 thats a syphon feed style. It works pretty well but makes a huge mess since its not in a cabinet

I retract my statement

How the fick did they miss the targeti call. Even if your blind you hear the helmet contact.

Am i the only one who is dissapointed we havent seen tOSU's full potential yet? Feel like even with TCU we played it soft after the third. Hopefully next week we get to see our guys go Wide Open all 4 quarters

Check out your local re-store or habitat for humanity. My dad built a work bench out of an old counter top that was in good shape for stupid cheap and its held up great to fluids and repeated hammering over the last 5 or so year. Its just your run of the mill counter top. Have a vise mounted to it as well. Plus the front side has a very minimally raised section so shit doesnt roll or drip off it.

As far as being off balance after returning. Could be a couple things. Could be the way theyre mounting the wheels on the tire balancer. Also may have issues with tires slipping on wheels. Mark the tire at the valve stem. Drive it and see it the mark still lines up with the valve stem. 14-up silverados had issues with this, im sure theyre not the only vehicle out there to do this.

Made some good progress today, was able to test drive through a parking lot (no current tag). Definitely a turd but a fun car. It will need calipers as 3 are seized. Also need to puck up a radiator. This one is split at the top so it leaks when full.

Michigan once again the let down for the conference. Purdue was conference play. Everyone else posted a win

Going slow bust good progress. I get maybe 2 to 4 hours a week on it. Have the majority of the vacuum system taken care of. I did a very short drive around the parking lot to get a feel for where i am at with it. Brakes are shit. More than likely going to have to replace a few parts. Bleeders broke free on the calipers so i may just rebuild rather than replace. Currently not running since the last time i worked on it. Changed out the fuel filters and improperly primed it. Pretty sure i got air in the injection pump so now i have to do a full prime of the pump and injectors. Been really amazed at the quality of parts that when into these cars. I wouln't mind picking one up for myself and slamming it.

Been really busy lately so haven't really had much time to work on it lately. I did get to work on it for approximately 3 hours in the last 2 weeks. Made very good progress for the time involved. Wasn't able to get the trunk open so disconnected the vacuum lines running down the passenger side that control the door locks. Applied vacuum via hand pump and all the door locks popped and after messing with the lock I was finally able to get into the trunk. Took the tumbler out and cleaned it up and removed all the 40 year old grease that was hard as a rock and relubed it with new grease. Also verified the vacuum reservoir under the rear deck was good. Next up was to figure out where my major leaks were. There is a t-fitting approx. 6 inches in front of the booster that had been JB welded that was leaking like a mother. Removed and fixed that. Afterward I was able to verify the vacuum pump was in good working order. Pulled 15 inches at idle and held vacuum when manually out under vacuum. Afterward reconnected my fittings with new line and am now able to shut the vehicle off with the key. Verified as well all the window regulators work however the driver door switch is reversed so I'll fix that next time. Also let the engine run at idle for 20 minutes which allowed me to find out the coolant temp does not register on the guage. Next up is figuring out the coolant temp and getting the car on stands to start assessing issues underneath the vehicle. I'm hoping next time I get to work on it I'll be able to test drive in the parking lot to see what else is needed before she's ready for a road test. Overall I'm very pleased to with the quality of the car for being 40 years old. It's definitely making me appreciate German engineering and quality

I ran it again later after I lubed the throttle assembly and while it still sticks it returned to idle when I'd push it back.

I'm not sure it technically ran away. I'm pretty sure the throttle was stuck open. However I operated it back and forth afterward before I thought of that. I just don't remember if it was open or closed when I started messing with it.

Made a decent amount of progress today for only having about 3 hours to mess with the Benz. First task was freeing up the ignition to be able to turn the key. If it wouldn't free up I'd have to remove the dash and really didn't want to go there. I ended up using an Orbital sander without paper on it to vibrate the shit out of the column lock. Worked perfectly to get the key to turn. Took about 20 seconds to remove the tumbler after I was able to get it to turn. After removal I found the tumbler was not the issue causing the key to stick and not turn. the column release pin was the issues. I contacted my father-in-law and told him i could either delete the pin or spend $150 to replace it. he was cool with deletion. My next step was to clean the column lock/ignition assembly and make sure it operated properly other than the lock pin sticking. After cleaning it up I drilled the side of the assembly approxiametely 1/2 inch fromt the end. then threaded the hole, inserted a screw and cut it flush. you can somewhat see the screw i threaded in and cut. it holds the lock pin in but still allows the tumber to fully rotate and still do it's job. After I reinstalled the lock assembly it was time to see if I could get this old girl to fire up. Battery is dead to the world however everything other than the starting/charging and accessories are vacuum/mechanically operated so I used jumper cables. engine turned over however very slowly Alright she needs a little more juice to crank good. Added a jump pack in line. Turned the key let the glow plugs and hit the key. Fired right up. However she scared the hell out of me about 30 seconds after i took the video.. Started running away. Key off and out and she wouldn't shut off then went WOT. luckily i had the air cleaner cap off and was able to snuff it out by putting my hand over it and capping the air flow. Looked into it and the engine shut off is fully vacuum operated so next task is to figure out if the shut off valve on the ignition is faulty, enough vacuum leaks to affect it or if the vacuum valve on the injection pump is bad. That's all for next time though. All in all I'm really pleased with the progress today.

Work checking best buy on Morse. They're geek Squad has a Samsung Certified repair facility. One of only a handful in the nation. They use only Samsung parts.

Lol didnt even realize that one.

Exactly what I'm doing. It's still my father-in-law's car. He's going to do a dual title with my wife that way if anything happens to him its automatically his. And yes it smells like 1979. Still has the owners manual in the glove box that looks new.

Been itching to do a little work on cars since I don't wrench anymore for work. Think I found a good one. Father-in-law has a 1979 Mercedes 300D. 3L Diesel good for 77hp 115lb-ft. 0-60 in"Dont worry about it". Just a decent "Piss Off The Traffic Behind You", cruiser Rust free Georgia car. Odometer stopped working shortly after he bought it in 03 at 104k. He drove it as a weekend car estimated 20k till 2009 when the ignition locked up where it was as then stored in a garage then storage locker for the last 9 years. Goal is to get the old gal back to health and make it a decent weekend cruiser. Paint and 99% of the car are original down to 1979 vacuum hoses. Have to get the ignition freed and cleaned up/replaced, and get it back to good running and driving quality. Already been R134 converted but unsure if it's still functional. First thing I had to do was get the front windows up as soon as I got it to where I'm working on it "parents house" I don't have a garage for my box,cart, and tools. 9 years of dust http://i.imgur.com/8mjb1Uvl.jpg Seats and interior are in great shape. Couple small sections where the leather is seperating http://i.imgur.com/yx0IgHRl.jpg Getting her to the shop "Driveway" http://i.imgur.com/xrmgqXAl.jpg I got the windows up by removing the door panels and using a power probe to command them up at the motor wiring. While I was in the I did a quick inspection and tug of the lock actuator vacuum lines and they appear intact and flexible but I'll most end up replacing them and the majority of the hundreds of vacuum lines in this thing. Quickly washed up http://i.imgur.com/ouYmPtwl.jpg
